Brrr…it’s cold in here. But, oh hunny, there’s more than just a freezing breeze in this atmosphere! Obviously, it’s a must we all lather up the right way this season.

RSVP’s. We’ve all been there. Attending, not attending, coordinating…somehow if your name is involved, you’re involved! But what’s the common courtesy of how and when to reply to your host?

With phones ringing throughout the holidays with the exciting news of friends tying the knot, I was left with one question in mind: “what oh what to get them for engagement gifts?” It’s a question I’ve received from many in the past, but I finally decided to research options and select my top picks for

Growing up with a solid group of friends in Nashville, it has been beyond amazing to see what directions they’ve all taken with their careers, and their brilliant successes. One of my dear friends, Caroline Randall Williams, has always been my go-to girl for all things literature or even on how to throw a proper

Being a girl who loves the feel, the look, the detail and the clever creativity of all things paper, it was a dream to be surrounded by some of the best paper folk at The National Stationary Show in May! Swooning over the elegant invitations, swirly holiday cards or the fabulous 2013 calendars, I was

The National Stationary Show was my kind of glorious heaven this weekend! Being surrounded by all things paper, detail oriented people and getting a sneak peek as to what will be coming out soon in stores, I was smiling from ear to ear!

Growing up, my mom inspired me to appreciate the beauty of calligraphy, and through her guidance I fell in love with the perfect brushstrokes of master calligrapher, Bernard Maisner.

Between printing off the next day’s itinerary every night before I hit the hay or color coding all of my to do lists, I would say that this girl is efficiently organized. But, I’m always looking for new chic {with a touch of Jackie O.!} ways to take my organizational skills to the next level.
