A Taste of Fall

A Taste of Fall

In early November, we finally had our first party in our new apartment. Although we moved in more than two months ago, September and October were just too crazy for a housewarming party. For a night playing hostess, I wanted to wear something fun! So, I opted for doubling up on my favorite pattern and pairing a casual sweatshirt with a faux leather skirt. I also made a super easy concoction that was the perfect fall drink, combining warm apple cider (4 oz.) with Smirnoff’s new Cinna-Sugar Twist vodka (1.5 oz.)…highly recommend it!

How To Prep Your Party Ahead of Time

How To Prep Your Party Ahead of Time

I love hosting around the holidays almost as much as I love being a guest at friends' parties. Most of all, I adore when friends come to me for advice about how to plan a menu, prep, and cook for their holiday meals. I love this because it gives me a chance to dole out the wisdom I know they all need to hear: make sure to have fun at your own party. Too often, hosts—especially not ultra-experienced ones, as well as people like me who are improvising parties in tiny kitchens and itsy bitsy apartments—get so involved in the hosting aspect that they forget to be guests at their own parties. The best defense against becoming high-strung or worried is tongs of preparation. Here's a rundown. Make punch. A huge...Read More
