Lovecats, it’s officially the end of 2016 and I for one could not be happier! It’s been a challenging year and I’m so ready to begin anew and start fresh and get right into 2017! To kick off the New Year, I’ve partnered with Ecco Domani Wine to bring you the Upgrade the Everyday Contest …
Handmade gifts add that touch of extra effort that makes everything merrier, don’t you think? I love making handmade ornaments as gift add-ons for the holidays. Every year when I was young, my mom and I would make ornaments to give to our family and friends and I love keeping the tradition alive. They’re the …
Each November I host a Friendsgiving Dinner with Ecco Domani Wine. Whether it’s just a few friends or a larger group of us, it’s always a very casual, cozy and quaint gathering where everyone feels at home – in my home. This year my Friendsgiving included a group of women that I just adore. We …
I’m just a little bit OBSESSED with these Zombie Wine Cocktails… Though if I’m being honest, they’re not really, technically – cocktails, but a simple upgrade to the already delicious Ecco Domani Merlot, complete with a reaching zombie arm for all the Halloween goodness. They’re PERFECT for Halloween parties because they’re super quick and easy …
Denim DIYs are among my favorite to work on and create. I mean, who doesn’t have a pair or two of old jeans in the back of their closet that they never wear anymore… let alone, a bunch of scraps and “legs” lying around after we cut them all into shorts for summer? Denim is …
The 2016 Zac Posen Pinot Grigio bottle for Ecco Domani Wine is so pretty, it’s perfect for Summer soirees as well as all the upcoming holiday celebrations. The metallic dots in gold, rose gold, silver, and black, make it an excellent choice for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve table settings, AND having a designer …
You know when you walk into a space and are immediately drawn to a certain area, and you just want to exist there for a moment in time because somehow the energy is calling out to you, begging you to experience it for just a while? That’s the feeling I wanted to create when thinking …
It’s May and I’m anticipating summer already and that means it’s time to celebrate upcoming lazy days in the sun, lounging along the lake, and warm summer nights spent laughing and relaxing with friends. Not that I need an occasion to celebrate, but SUMMER is calling my name hard this year, so I thought I’d …
Generally, like any creative endeavor, when I start planning for a tablescape collaboration with Ecco Domani, I begin with a theme in mind and then start pulling items from all around the house that happen to fit that theme. Though a little cliche, this month’s theme WAS April Showers Bring May Flowers. However, once I …
I love holiday-themed cocktails! I mean, who doesn’t, right? Last year for St. Patrick’s Day I made a very green and very sweet Green Apple Wine Cocktail with Ecco Domani Prosecco, stirred it with green apple stick candies and topped it with sour apple gummy candies, and it was surely tasty. Ecco Domani Wine cocktails …
I’m so happy to share that I’ve partnered with Ecco Domani Wine again this year and will be working with this fabulous Italian brand throughout the next eleven months, give or take a few, and I hope you enjoy our collaborations as much as I do. No matter how hectic life gets, it’s so important …
Bling Keychains and Pom Bag Charms are EVERYWHERE right now, and they are A-DOR-A-BLE… but ultimately wildly expensive! I’m guessing it’s because many of them are made with real fur {yikes!} but I think the trend actually originated with Fendi and Lagerfeld and took a few years to catch on. That said, I’m seeing them …
Along with the holidays comes the end of the year and along with the end of the year comes a time where we reflect on the past twelve months of our lives and look forward to the next twelve with giddy anticipation of a life anew. It’s a time to celebrate our accomplishments and set …
It’s that time of year again, and I think this year more than ever, I’m relaxed and so ready to enjoy friends and family in holiday gatherings on every level. I’m not sure exactly why it is, but I finally feel settled up in these mountains and honestly don’t ever want to call any other …
Oh I just love Halloween! How is it not your favorite time of the year and holiday? I think I may even enjoy it more than Christmas! Some years I decorate and some years I don’t, but no matter what, I feel a festive creativity come over me each October that I just love. I …
