As I’ve entered my 30s, I’ve found myself wanting to experiment more with lipstick. Actual, real, grown up lady lipstick. I’m a gloss girl through and through. Usually tinted gloss with a good amount of pigment, but I’ve never strayed too far into wearing opaque lipstick. I find it kind of scary! Is that weird? …
Fall
I’m crazy about a good dinner party. Lately we’ve had about zero opportunity to even think about hosting a dinner party, because of our crazy busy summer (you know, that whole song and dance you’ve already heard before.) That said, we’re hoping to finally invite a bunch of friends over in a few weeks for …
Ok! So it’s October. Let’s get this party started and talk Halloween, shall we? No doubt, spooky glam is definitely my go-to Halloween vibe. Loads of black and white, a few metallic touches and a hint of something creepy and you’ve got the job done! I’ve rounded up a bunch of my favorite tabletop picks …
A couple of weeks ago I shared 6 ways to cozy up for fall and now, wham! It’s October. Needless to say, I don’t quite know where the months have gone. Don’t we all feel that way when the last months of the year hit? Before you know it we’re all going to be making …
Ok, friends. I get it. We’ve been talking about fall for a few weeks now, but now that fall is officially here as of today, I’m kind of in disbelief. Summer just went by so so quickly this year and after the bear of a winter we had last year, I’m just not quite ready …
At this point I think it’s pretty undeniable that fall has arrived. I can give up the game of saying it’s “late summer,” because although technically true it feels nothing like summer here this week. The leaves are starting ever so subtly to stain red and orange. The wind has a crisp edge even on …
Our summer schedule has been so hectic (in a really awesome way) between weddings, parties, family functions and trying to pack the boys’ summer vacation full of fun things like camping, swimming and trips to the water park. With the school year kicking off next week, I’m definitely feeling in need of some renewed organization …
by Caitlin, Marla and Manda of The Merrythought Oh cheesecake…it’s simply divine. My favorite cheesecake recipe is the New York Style Cheesecake from Cook’s Illustrated. It’s heavenly – so smooth and creamy and always perfect, no matter what it’s topped with or what you add to it. With Thanksgiving just about a week away and pumpkin …
With Thanksgiving just over a week away, the timing of today’s Thanksgiving celebration with the amazing ladies of Confetti Pop could not be better! Featuring gorgeous florals and a fun, modern vibe that I just adore, every little detail of this Thanksgiving spread is on point. My favorite part may just be the saturated orange …
You guys should know by now that I’m big fan of the growing Friendsgiving trend. A couple of years ago I shared my own Friendsgiving dinner and last year it was this Friendsgiving spread that had us all feeling inspired to show our friends a little love. Well this year we’re keeping the tradition rolling with this …
I can’t even believe I’m about to type this, but guess what? Starting next Friday, we’re talking holiday gift guides! Yeah. That happened insanely fast for me, too. I hear ya. Pretty much that means that I’m going to be cranking the Christmas music anytime now, because I’m that girl. But in the meantime, I …
So it turns out that something pretty cool happened this week. Namely, Pinterest gave me an awesome little shout-out in their newsletter as a Pinner to follow for Thanksgiving ideas and inspiration! With a few thousand new Pinterest followers, a big ol’ grin on my face and turkey on the brain (even though I don’t …
