TOP 5 | August
Oh fam, it's the middle of August and if you've been following us on the gram, you know we are already getting the itch for Fall. We know the state of everything in the world is still heavy, but at home we are doing all that we can do with our family to keep the spirit bright and optimistic and that means sneaking in fall bits here and there in our homes, wardrobe and decor. It's what we normally would be doing anyway. I can tell you this, Fall and Halloween decor are now sta

B2B | WINTER PINE TABLESCAPE
You know we love a good tablescape and when I got the opportunity to host a winter themed friendsgiving last year, it was a nice break from my go-to pumpkin runner. It was held on the 30th and Thanksgiving had come the week prior (anyone else thrown off by it's tardiness this year?). This time I took full advantage of the large pinecones, white pine from Trader Joe's and extra fern, spruce and holly I found from local wholesaler, Unlimited Flowers. Whether a large party or ju

Fall Intro | 2019
You can't be shocked that this is a fall intro... I waited till the last week of August. I'm getting better at waiting to post such things lol. Seriously though, where does the time go? Here we are, school has started and holiday decor came out last month! I've even seen little corners of Christmas, gasp, not ok! . It also makes us skip a beat or two knowing the wedding we've been working on is only two months and two weeks away! Just a few loose ends here and there, but as

Easy Sunday Scones | RECIPE

A Blue Christmas... | Gift Guide
So here we are, approaching the month of December and already making gift lists and prepping holiday plans. Well, most of us are, some may be in their homes, hiding in their work, or acting as if nothing is wrong. What I mean is, some may be grieving, wishing that their loved one or loved ones were on this earth. The holidays can be a very hard time for some of us. Every year we are all capable of having a "blue holiday" at some point or another. I personally have experienced

EASY RECIPE | Autumn Rainbow Carrots
Food prep for your your home for Thanksgiving doesn't have to be so major, and can happen early. I wanted to share and add another side dish that is simple and a favorite amongst my friends and family. I love roasted veggies. I even love them more when they have an autumn flavor added to them. This dish is one of the easiest and fool proof, I think. I bought my big bag of rainbow carrots from Trader Joe's. PREP | Pre-Heat oven at 420' F Wash and scrub down your carrots. Some

#FRIGHTFEMMES 18 | Vol. II
Another week, another look and it looks like The Weekend Gypsy and I were on the same wave-length in creating a spooky yet sexy version of characters we often find in Halloween/horror stories. Well her's is technically more freaky and I'm going based of a campy character thanks to the amazing, Michael Keaton. Could you imagine your squad or your significant other doing a group of these Nurses (and maybe throw in some doctors) into the mix? Last year I fell in love with Desi

A BEWITCHED EVENING [DIY FALL PARTY]
BEWITCHED HARVEST MOON GATHERING Last year my sister, mother and I thought of a cool way to get into the FALL/ HALLOWEEN spirit. A top secret night for just us ladies. We wanted it to be laid back small gathering so we could have fun with details. The bigger the crowd, the less you get to focus on (remember that). It was kind of themed to AHS's COVEN, but nothing gory or dark. More ode to the official FALL HARVEST. We love NoLa, we love Stevie Knicks and all things witchy! Th

New Year Manifestation | DIY PARTY
This passed month a bunch of my girlfriends were all in town at the same time. A lot of us have had a hard time coordinating with all our ever changing schedules.

So December 27th was our night just before NYE. 7 is a number I love for multiple reasons, one being it's a very lucky number! So on this night Kelly (my biff) had mentioned how she wanted to
