BLACK + WHITE BLISS: EVENTS

I have a confession to make, white - I have been cheating on you with black.

For those of you who are new here... my obsession with black and white is endless and the new trend toward classical events with contemporary flair has me singing its praises...

Even better, my cousin J got engaged this week! congrats J+D. 

in the event she solicits my help planning her big day... the gorgeous combination of the standout beauty of these anemonies paired with the sleek black glass would be showstopping...

and the way I see it... these little calligraphic numbers are a must!

HOLIDAZZLE

working on some holiday designs and retail displays, visions filled with traditional holiday colors needed to be completely set aside and reworked with something seasonal - something to make your decor last well after christmas has come and gone, and doesn't speak to one religion in particular... I have been loving the glamorous and luxurious color combination that is champagne, silver, and white...

A BLISSFUL BIRTHDAY

Today is my birthday! And I'm beginning to think what they say is true...

While I'm still in my early twenties, this year has gone by faster than ever before!

So many exciting, life changing, and growing experiences have happened this year - I can't believe it all fits into 12 short months.

Thanks for your support and love - it truly means the world! Heres a toast to each and everyone of you!

I can't wait to see what this next year brings...

as for tonight - I'm just hoping for one of these!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! See you on Monday!

Sweetening Up Your New Year

Happy New Years Eve!

I think after this year, we all could use a little sweetness in our lives, and some time to let go and have fun.  The drink of choice to ring in the New Year, also happens to be my favorite. Hopefully you can try one of these Champagnes tonight, and find one that will become your new favorite! If Champagne isn't for your taste, maybe you want to try the Sofia Sparkling Rose, its SO yummy!

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:

Pommery POP!, Sofia Coppola Sparkling Rose, Moet White Star, Schramsburg Brut

For a sweet but fresh punch to the drink, try this recipe with St. Germain.

For a new take on a classic recipe, try this  Raspberry Bellini

For a zesty zing, try this Lemon Champagne Cocktail

And when the clock strikes 12, make your self this Grand Champagne Coctail
