Brunch is always more fun when funky drinks are involved, don't you think?! And for Easter brunch, a Mimosa Bar is ideal to suit all - The healthy folks, the moms, the kids (minus the champers 'course..), the dads and the cocktail lovers like moi. I spent my childhood in Rio, and over there juices are sacred. It's always hot and naturally, fridges are always full of homemade juices; 3 or more tropical fruit flavors at a time. All made from the pure fruits, water and sugar . They're not that hard to make and taste beyond amazing!
Decidedly, this year will be mostly a grown-up affair for Halloween. I get bored easily (yes, even of candy...) and though I also have a kid's party to share here soon, in-keeping with the festivities from last week's grown-up Halloween posts ; today I'm showing you how to style a Halloween Cheese and Wine Party !
There are tons of Halloween party ideas involving candy, and party ideas for kids over on Pinterest . Fact. We also love sharing loads of kid-friendly ideas here on the blog. Guilty as charged. So this year, I decided to style a little Creepy n' Chic Halloween cocktail bar to give you some ideas on DIY decorations and recipes for an adult-themed spooky soiree. Gruesome! 💀
Summer is here, and if you need a fresh party idea or theme for your seasonal celebrations, then you can't go wrong with lemons! I've teamed with a couple of French brands , for a super sweet collaboration to showcase their brand new lemon themed designs and paper goods, and I can't tell you how much I loved it! 🍋
When you have kids in tow, Valentine's Day festivities take on a whole new meaning (I think parents reading this will nod at this point), and the phrase three's a crowd springs to mind? :) Because of that fact, I've often shared family-friendly Valentine's Day party ideas, recipes and crafts here on the blog. But this year, since my kiddos are a little older; I fancy a little dinner date with my husband!
There are so many things I love about fall. The cooler evenings, the changing colors of the leaves outside, the beautiful harvest produce on our tables, and the magical lighting this time of year are just a few of my favorite things about it! So taking inspiration from this season's beauty, I styled a botanical inspired tablescape that's perfect to transition from summer, into a more cozy fall mood! Check out all my 5 easy DIY projects below to help you copy this botanical tablescape look at home!
Summer rhymes with BBQ and eating outdoors, so we've been cooking most of our evening meals on the BBQ this summer. It's a bliss not to have the oven on inside the house, and somehow, food just tastes so much better al-fresco, don't you think? So a few weeks ago, we decide on a baked version of the classic shrimp boil. But because it's cooked on a sheet pan on the barbecue...we called it BBQ shrimp.
Today I bring you some fun DIY nautical decor ideas to help you get crafting and busy this summer! These coastal or beach inspired decor pieces are perfect to decorate your home for the summer, or to style a nautical mantel, a tiered-tray or a coastal farmhouse table for any celebration or dinner party you may be hosting this season! As always, I tried as much as possible to use craft supplies I already had at home, and to recycle "trash" into home decor treasure. So I also encourage you to do the same and re-purpose old objects, decor or to use up whatever you have in your craft stash!
Having to spend a lot of time at home these days, means that quality moments with our loved ones are more than ever, a comfort as well as a blessing! As a someone who blogs about parties and entertaining, I find that at times like these, it's even more important to find beauty, creativity and make even the smallest occasion, a special one to celebrate. So I thought I'd share some easy ideas to help you style a girls' movie night in!
Saint Patrick's Day is next week, and I could not pass up the opportunity to style a gorgeous green and gold tablescape for the occasion! Table-setting is one of my favorite pastimes, and I've been obsessed with it since I can remember...even prior to having a blog! And since I didn't get to style a Saint Paddy's Day table last year, this year I went for it with a green and gold color palette that's so chic, so sparkly and oh-so pretty!
Do you celebrate Mardi Gras? This year, I decided to deck out my bar cart for Mardi Gras, in the quintessential Louisiana Mardi Gras colors of purple, yellow, greens and gold. To crown it all off, I'm also sharing a delicious Cajun Bloody Mary cocktail recipe, which is perfect to add to your bar cart and serve at your Mardi Gras party!
Winter rhymes with cozy, comforting food. And a cheese fondue sure ticks both boxes! A few years ago, I shared my recipe for a traditional French Savoyard Cheese Fondue here on the blog . It's the perfect cheese fondue recipe for entertaining! But this year, I was inspired to re-vamp and make my cheese fondue a little lighter and easier to prepare. Hence this delicious Camembert cheese fondue, baked in its own box and served on a board of rainbow-colored veg!
