I'm a firm believer that the colors red, white and blue can be used all summer long and not just on national holidays. Of course they're perfect for patriotic parties, but I love the color-combo for other events, especially anything coastal-themed. Thus, when I headed to Watercolor, Florida for a summer family trip, I grabbed [...]
Well it seems that I’m now becoming quite the expert in the perfect “girls’ getaway weekend.” I’ve highlighted Charleston, Watercolor Florida and now Palm Beach as excellent spots for a boujee weekend away (specifically with your gal-pals). I love all the cities I’ve covered for many different reasons, but they also all have the key [...]
When I confirmed my trip to Palm Beach for "work," I immediately headed to my local Lilly Pulitzer store at the mall in Green Hills and tried on just about everything (not kidding). I was living my best life having a private fashion show (with myself) in a dressing room with the words "Palm Beach" [...]
If you're like me, for some reason the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is super exciting but equally stressful. And while my focus isn't fashion, clothes certainly are a large part of entertaining and knowing what to wear to any event is definitely something I enjoy covering.

Y’all know by now that I love a good “party in a box.” So when I had the chance to work with Party Hat Paper Co. to create my very own CUSTOM party box, I jumped on the opportunity. Without ever needing to leave my house or spend hours searching online, I was able to [...]
When you combine the talents of three women who focus their careers on entertaining and events, you're going to get something special. And that's exactly what happened when Paige Minear, Caroline Frierson and your's truly met-up in Charleston and put together one heck of a summer cocktail party. When Paige and I decided to travel [...]
Well, I just got back from the girls’ trip that dreams are made of. It was such a treat to spend a few glorious sunny days in the only other southern city that truly has my heart- Charleston. Not to mention, the trip fell right before the end of school for my kids, so I [...]
When life gives you lemons, your children make lemonade to sell to pay for their future college education. Just kidding... kind of. It’s almost summertime in Nashville, and that means one thing for my 6-year-old daughter, lemonade stands.
