It's that time of the year again... the time of the year when we all gather with our friends & family to create memories. Whenever I go to a gathering, I usually bring along a bottle of the host's favorite liquor. 

It is always nice to take something with you, as a way of saying thank you! Thank you for inviting me, for the good food & drinks but more importantly thank you for the memories!

After the winter we've had, what with the Polar Vortex and all - Spring cannot get here soon enough! I shared with you (here) how easy it is to update your space. Spruce up your home for Spring, make it bold & bright. It's very easy to add color to a neutral palette with rich colorful accessories.

Mirror mirror

I've been obsessing over mirrored furniture lately. A mirrored piece of furniture will give you a modern flair, it adds a unique and glamorous touch to any room. It will also pull in more light. We all know to add a mirror in a room/space to make it seem bigger, they also create new angles.

Gift Guide | The Hostess

I love house parties - holiday parties even more! So if you're like me then your calendar is also filling up with party invites and save the dates. When I attend a party, I usually bring a bottle of the host's favorite wine, hard liquor, etc. as a way of saying thank you for inviting me. While it's not mandatory, it is very much appreciated ;-) It's also nice to customize gifts to fit the host's personality and interests.

Here are other gift ideas that are sure to impress your host.
