PICNIC IN PINK: HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

Memorial Day is that first taste of a summer weekend... and finally provides us with a little extra time to get outside and enjoy the company of family and friends. What better way to spend the day than having a fabulous picnic. Having a gorgeous little picnic basket really sets the tone for a day on the lawn...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM LUXE + LILLIES

Christmas is upon us, and I will be taking a few days away to spend time with my family and friends, and prepare for our trip to Switzerland over the new year...

I'm so very grateful to each and everyone of you for your readership, comments, inspiration, and especially friendships I've found here...

I hope that you all find time to enjoy the sweets of the season...

and spend time with those you love...

I hope that 2011 finds you happy, healthy, and recharged for a blissful year ahead...

In 2011, I'm excited to debut some new features on luxe + lillies, in addition to some other goodies...

For now my loves, I'm off to do some last minute christmas shopping, packing, and preparing for festivities...

Have a Merry, Merry Christmas!

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...

THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPES: WHAT'S YOUR STYLE?

This year will be the first year that we spend thanksgiving with just our family. No grandparents, cousins, aunts or uncles - just small and intimate, and most likely we'll eat lobster rather than Turkey. Call it unconventional - but I think that its a great excuse to start a few traditions of our own. I've seen so many beautiful tablescapes for thanksgiving, and I can't quite decide which one I would prefer...

simple and atmospheric - focused on food and conversation?

glamorous and in high style - with overflowing champagne?

colonial flair - focused on the tradition of the holiday?

clean and contemporary - with great design detail?

 or, traditional with a little high style flair - focused on the intimate affair?
