And a happy new year.

Cocktail weiners are in the oven, champagne is on ice, New Years Eve tiara is on… Cheers to the end of a rather fun decade and cheers to the exciting promises of a new one! Image via TuffIndustries

Brass knuckles.

We’ve talked dresses, we’ve talked shoes, now it’s time for the perfect NYE accessory. And there’s only one I have in mind, and only two words to describe it…  Bad Ass. The Alexander McQueen Knuckle Duster Clutch is divine. It takes care of jewelry and purse in one fell swoop, and if you happen to [...]

Good taste.

I was hoping to post pictures of my New Years Eve decorations this morning, but they just need a little more tweaking tonight (and by tweaking I mean my boyfriend drove me to the craft store at 9:00 last night so I could buy more glitter — he is a saint). In lieu of glittery [...]

Effortless sparkle.

Every store was brimming glittery dresses and sparkly tops. I’m all about a flash of bling, but like all good things, sequins are best [...]

This weekend though I was motivated left and right to cook… first ol’ Martha tempted me with pictures of her Christmas brunch. Caramel drizzled camembert anyone? How about a fried egg in a steaming hot popover? Holy drool [...]

Countdown to midnight.

I’m getting really excited for New Years Eve; I’m hosting a party at my apartment for a few of my friends and I’ve been scouring online for ideas. I’m on a budget so I have a few DIY decorations that I will share once they’re in place. In the meantime, here are some of the images that [...]

Full contact.

I get overly excited about the before-and-afters on Design*Sponge on a good day, but this console table has me really worked up. Can you believe this DIY is just wood covered in zebra contact paper? Amazing.

Merry Christmas!

Tied with a bow.

Despite my anger with the Container Store, and their deceiving wrapping paper… I have to say, my Christmas presents came out pretty darn cute. Almost too cute to rip open (ok, no wrapping paper is THAT cute).
