Last year I had the girls over for Valentine’s Day for small bites, cocktails and cookie decorating, and the year before that, I styled this sweet table scape. But this year, since I was going to be busy working on a few projects for parties I’m styling in the next few months, and heading on vacation at the end…
Valentine’s
All week-long I’ve been sharing Valentine’s ideas to spend with your love, or your friends. But at the end of the day it’s a day to celebrate love for all, especially yourself. When you love yourself, you can easily share it and put it back out into the world. On the invite for my valentine’s afternoon with…
Champagne Ombre Cake with Mascarpone Whipped Cream
Over the weekend, I had a Valentine’s with the girls which I dubbed our Galentine’s day. If you’ve been following along, you’ve seen plenty of snippets from the afternoon. I wanted to keep the food simple, a great cheese platter, some delicious macarons, candy, and chocolate covered strawberries, but aside from the sugar and gingerbread cookies…
Valentine Gift Boxes for Her
Valentine’s Day is mostly hyped up to be just for lovers, but I like to show everyone in my life I love them. Whether it’s baking my parents a cake, giving J a bottle of his favorite scotch, or sending my best friend a card and her favorite sugar cookies. Over the weekend I held a…

Aphrodisiac Flavors
When you look into your significant other’s eyes against the flickering candlelight, perhaps with soft music playing in the background, you smell the rich aroma coming from the dinner table and the labor of love you worked on together in the kitchen. There’s nothing more romantic to me than a meal prepared by your lover,…
Valentine’s Day Style
Whether you’ve got a dinner date with a new love, a romantic night in with your lover, cocktails with the girls, or cozying up by yourself with a glass wine watching the Olympics, in my eye Valentine’s Day style is about being pretty. Showcasing a more feminine side, either in a sultry way with a…
Friday Favorites {Valentine’s Edition}
I’ll admit I was never one for Valentine’s Day, seeing it as a highly commercialized holiday and if you really love someone you show them everyday but I’ve been so inspired by lovely images that I definitely got into the spirit of this lovely holiday. I even created this Sweet Valentine’s Day tabletop, along with…
