Prancing down 5th during my lunch break {Jamba Juice style, hola}, I saw Kate Spade’s store shining bright like a diamond on the corner. And although it’s not quite time to be flaunting the chunky sweaters + furry coats, I decided to walk on in and see what they had on display for the fall

Growing up, my mother was always the one who taught me how to do all girly things correctly! From showing me how to correctly tie a bow to improving my Southern manners, charm and cooking skills on a daily basis, she is literally the “bees knees” in my book. But there’s one area this woman

Planning and hosting parties {from cocktails to dinner soirees!} is one of my absolute favorite things to do. But every once in a while it’s nice to mix up the scene a little bit, whether it’s with a bourbon tasting {I conduct one now every time I’m hosting a party with a different brand…the guys

I’ve heard about them, raved about them and dreamed of creating products with them…but actually getting to meet the main players of LR Paris in real life?
