13 Oct DIY: $50 Halloween Fence
We've said it before and we'll say it again, Halloween is our absolute favorite holiday of the year. Aside from our love of pumpkins and the color orange Halloween combines creativity and good ole fashioned fun for an evening filled with spirits, spooks and spells. Though this tends to be a pretty low pressure holiday, if you are hosting a bash it is easy to get overwhelmed with projects. The cost of decorations can add up quickly and before you know it you've spent hundreds of dollars on items that will only be out for a few short weeks. However, we pride ourselves on achieving the look for less so you are in luck. We have a fun spooky fence project your guests are sure to remember and will only cost you about $50 for materials...and a few short hours of your time.

Your guests will be so impressed with these charming touches they will be counting down the days to your next bash.
21 Jul 3 Small Bag Beauty Must Haves
You've been invited to an event. Yay! After getting yourself bash beautiful you are faced with a common dilemma...somehow condensing your everyday purse contents in to a teeny tiny purse. Of course, one should always travel with an id, fully charged cell phone, method of payment, and insurance cards but we think a few beauty essentials are also a must. Throwing your full beauty routine in to a small purse is next to impossible so we asked Bobbi Brown Education & Artistry Executive and also dear friend, Chelsea Chittom, for her top picks and tips for keeping your face bash beautiful for hours.
01 Jul DIY: Patriotic Centerpiece & Decorations
Mid summer is upon us and you know what that means. No, we are not talking about all the school supply commercials that still give us anxiety even though we are grown adults. We are talking about the 4th of July, the holiday centered around stars, stripes, fireworks and grilled meat. Though this tends to be a more relaxed holiday it seems preparing for the 4th is often underestimated especially if you are the host for this festive occasion. To make things a little easier for you we have one super simple centerpiece that can be completed in a matter of minutes plus a few creative uses for bandanas. Nothing says 'Merica like a bandana. And the best part, your guests will think you were prepping your house for days!
