Ready to Party

If there's one thing I love to do, it's throw a party. Between birthdays, holidays, and showers there's always something and someone to celebrate! These days, it seems like more people are jumping ship from Facebook, and the typical FB invite doesn't always set the correct tone for the party. Enter Paperless Post, an online invitation and card website where you can digitally send the perfect invitation for your event ranging from brunches and cocktail parties to bridal and baby showers and various holiday parties. They even feature some of my favorite designers such as Kate Spade and Sugar Paper!

A few years ago, it seemed like everyone was having little boys and now everyone is having girls. Serena has so many friends on the way!


Brunch is hands down my favorite meal of the week, and I love how something so simple can be dressed up and so much fun. Fancy boozy drinks, food, and friends... what's not to love?



My Florida girls threw me a travel themed baby shower brunch in September, and it was the perfect theme and setting combining two of my favs - brunch and traveling. The invitation sets the initial tone for the event, and from there Pinterest will help with a surplus of ideas from decor, to the menu, and of course the centerpiece of the party: the cake.

A Pop of Leopard

I'm all about fun flowy tops, and I love how the cascade sleeves give this outfit the extra pizazz I was looking for. I wore it to Emily's birthday brunch the week before Christmas, and it was a great choice for all the birthday festivities.

Cozy Weekending

A cozy quiet weekend after the hustle and bustle of the holidays was exactly what we needed. And with the super chilly temps that moved into the sunshine state baking, going out for coffee, and binge watching a new to me series on Netflix with glasses of rose was even more perfect.

I've been going through Downton Abbey withdrawals, and was super excited when I heard about this new Netflix series based on Queen Elizabeth II. It doesn't have the humor that I really enjoyed about Downtown Abbey or the close look at both upstairs and downstairs, but it's another amazing story about British royalty/aristocracy that makes you want to continue watching until that empty feeling of no more new episodes.

There's a Chill in the Air

Happy Friday! All of the excitement of the holiday season may be over, but I'm still having fun trying out Maybelline's new Big Shot Mascara and Master Precise Curvy Liquid Liner.

The weather is supposed to cool off this weekend, so I'm excited to break out my new scarf that H got for me from Nordstrom. I love the neutral colors, and it's super soft!

Speaking of the cooler weather, I'll be living in this Jack by BB Dakota moto jacket to stay warm. I'm obsessed with the cognac color and how cozy it is. I also love how it goes great with jeans and my winter whites.

I'm also looking forward to breaking open my first bottle of Skinny Girl since being pregnant. I usually enjoy the Skinny Girl cocktails by the pool all summer, but this past year I had to stick to La Croix sparkling waters which are also delish by the way! The Sparkling Margarita is my favorite since it combines my two favorites together - a low cal margarita and bubbles.


I received some new Essie colors in my stocking that I can't wait to try out. I'm leaning towards painting my nail with Ready to Boa from their winter collection. Such a fun color for the next week!
