December Details

(skirt: ShopKonfetti)

Happy December, friends! Can you believe we're into the holiday season? I have to admit that this is one of my very favorite times of year, as everyone is decorating, hosting parties, giving gifts and in a cheerful spirit. This past weekend was spent decorating the house, finding and trimming the perfect tree, picking up a few presents for friends and family, and listening to an abundance of Christmas music. I should also mention that amidst all this festivity, a good friend and I are hard at work, putting the finishing touches on a SUPER exciting project that will be debuting here SO soon! I'm really, really excited to share it with you, and wish that I could divulge more details, but rest assured, it's worth the wait!! Hope you had a fabulous holiday weekend, and here's to a wonderful, new month!

Simple & Chic DIY




This DIY is probably the easiest thing you can do, seriously. No need to be a Picasso or Martha Stewart here; within a few minutes you can have some fabulous pieces for your desk, bookshelf or counter area that look as though they were imported from a specialty boutique. Here's your how-to.

Necessary Objects: 
PVC plastic toy animals (I found mine at Michael's)
Krylon Metallic Gold Spray Paint 
Newspaper 

Step 1: Lay out your newspaper workspace.

Step 2: Spray one side of animals and let dry. (10-15 min is about how long mine took) 
Flip over and spray other side. 

Step 3: Do a second coat of paint, and fill in any little spaces you might have missed, like the mouth or underside and let dry. 

Step 4: Admire your new decor pieces. (You can even glue them to a wooden board and create bookends if you choose!)


Finished products!

Celebrate: Sparkle & Shine New Year's Eve Party


A fabulous new year is just around the corner, and if you're like me, it's a perfect time to celebrate!  There's new beginnings, new dreams and goals, and a brand new month to start off right! Ready to plan your party? Here's a sparkly way to ring in the new year!!
 Dress up your drinks with fresh raspberries, and line up the stemware on a mirrored tray for an elegant touch! Printed gold foil coasters are a fun extra. 
 Feeling creative? Try a DIY decor project and create this glittering banner with some cardboard, glue and craft glitter. 


 After lots of holiday food, people are ready for something different. Give your guests an array of delicious, light appetizers and mini bites. You'll save on the prep time and cost. Here's some of my menu: Mediterranean Crostini, Pear Slices topped with goat cheese and cranberries, creamy Brie cheese with table crackers & honey, Macarons and other various desserts


 Table decor should reflect the whimsical and glamorous vibe of the holiday. There's no such thing as too much sparkle on New Year's Eve! To create the shimmering tablescape, I thrifted a bunch of mason jars and glass votives. Gold glitter gave the glass a glitzy update, and I added faux and real tea lights for extra shine. 
Hand-lettered placecards always add a personal touch, and one can never go wrong with gold flatware and chargers. Sequins and rhinestones sprinkled among the candles is a fun addition to the table. 

Writing down my goals for the new year is always something I enjoy..it's more than just a resolution; it's got a date and a plan of action behind it, which helps to motivate me in the achievement process. I encouraged my guests to also write down some things they'd like to accomplish, and we pinned them onto the sparkly gold wall! :)   
Cheers to the new year, everyone! 
Let's make this year the best one ever!

Weekend Wanderings

Happy Weekend Everyone! I'm so excited to tell you that the sparkling New Year's Eve party post is live here! Pick up some tips and tricks to host your own glittery soiree! I've been excitedly awaiting this weekend's arrival..probably more so than most weekends because not only are many of my friends coming into town, but I'm also hosting my annual Christmas party which has become a delightful tradition. We'll begin with a day full of baking sweet treats in the kitchen, and then enjoy them over dinner and hot cocoa the next day while we catch up on each other's latest endeavors. Such fun! I can't wait!!

Wishing all of you a most wonderful and joy-filled weekend!

Weekend Wanderings

Is it just me or has this week gone by crazy fast?! Perhaps it's because I've been running around to prepare for a fun venture this weekend, as well as a Christmas party I'm hosting soon. Weekends during the holiday season are always such fun because they're usually brimming over with activities like baking, parties, shows, seeing friends, a drive about town to see homes adorned with sparkling lights and cozy evenings curled up with hot cocoa and a good book. Do you have a favorite holiday activity? They're all so lovely its almost impossible for me to pick a favorite! 

Have a delightful weekend!
