Entertaining

  Crate & Barrel dishes, West Elm flatware, Pottery Barn urn, DIY napkins (tutorial coming soon!)   I decided to put our new wedding dishes to use with this easy fall tablescape that I created for our dinner party I featured yesterday. An overflowing arrangement takes center stage — and the soft gray dishes, neutral […]

There’s nothing I love more than a cozy night in during the fall and winter months — good friends and good wine are also a plus! So for my final post with Food Should Taste Good I put together a little relaxing night — complete with 2 different kinds of flatbreads, an array of cheeses, […]

You may have noticed I was sipping a cup of coffee in yesterday’s post about my cozy weekend wear — well it wasn’t just any coffee it had my super easy pumpkin creamer in it. I highly encourage you to make a batch of this over the weekend – it’s much healthier than an indulgent […]

  Moscow Mule’s have become a favorite of mine in recent years so I decided to give this classic drink a seasonal twist with the addition of apple cider in my new copper mugs! Head over to Glitter Guide for the recipe!    Images by Krista A. Jones

I’m back!! I have to say taking 2 weeks from being online was a total treat and I’m so inspired to get back to work this week! This year I won’t be putting up any Halloween decor since we were out of the country until right before the holiday but I couldn’t resist doing a […]

  Football season has taken over our house (per the usual) and while I can’t say I get too excited about watching alllll the time I do love a good excuse to come up with new game time snacks. Ricotta cheese has long been my go-to. I most frequently serve it straight up with a […]

  As soon as September 1st hits you’ll find apple cider in my fridge until December. I use it for cooking, in salad dressings, serve it hot will mulling spices and of course include it in cocktails. Head over to Glitter Guide where I’m sharing my recipe for an Apple Cider Martini. Check out my […]

  Today I’m back with another recipe from my collaboration with Smirnoff Ice — just in time for end of summer BBQs and the quickly approaching Labor Day weekend! I love a good Margarita, especially when I’m serving Mexican inspired cuisine so I was pleasntly surprised to discover that Smirnoff Ice is the perfect ingredient […]

Sorry for the radio silence around here. I had two back to back trips (one across the country) and I’m so excited to be back home getting organized until our wedding at the end of September! Today I’m sharing my tisp for putting together a cheese plate that looks as good as it tastes — […]

  I love the few months out of the year that there are fresh flowers to be picked to make garden arrangements versus making my weekly trip to the store for blooms. Our yard now has mostly greens for the picking — but luckily my parents’ is full of hydrangea. I can’t ever get them […]

  I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July! We spent our weekend down in North Carolina at a close college friend’s wedding and had such a great time. Unfortunately we got stuck in some bad traffic heading home — so my Monday felt a little unorganized and I’m still trying to catch up! […]

    Last week Pottery Barn challenged me to have some fun styling some of their outdoor products for a dinner party on my patio in collaboration with La Cream wine. Let’s just say this challenge wasn’t too hard! I had my dad and sister over for dinner (stay tuned for the recipes) -cracked open […]
