In honor of my new business venture (which I will officially announce Friday), I am sharing different aspects of my portfolio. First up, event planning, and this baby shower I styled and co-hosted. It was quite an elegant affair, if I do say so myself. It had a subtle nesting theme (a nod to my other business), and the guests were treated to champagne, dessert nests, and goodies from Neiman Marcus. Even though event planning is not usually my main focus, it isn't far off from interior design…it is all part of making your life beautiful. I hope to have more event styling opportunities in the near future, as I really enjoy it!

Colunching

 

I was recently introduced to Colunching through my friend Lindsey, and happily accepted the invitation to host the first Philadelphia event (merci Bryan)! It is a great concept, bringing people together to socialize and network over lunch, brunch or dinner. The idea that was born in Paris last year has made it's way to cities around the world and has finally arrived in the states. It's simple (and free)…create a profile on the site, choose the place, date and time, and spread the news…anyone can host! I chose Talula's Garden, a fairly new restaurant with fantastic buzz, and was eager to share the experience. It was a lovely setting, with an amazing local, organic menu and a large community table overlooking the dining room. It was an evening of laughter and great conversation, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. So…what are you waiting for? Sign up and "feed your network"…I love that line.

I am truly, madly smitten by the new online shop of my blogging friend Miss B, and absolutely must share it with you! Always one for old-fashioned manners and charm, the Besotted Brand aesthetic suits me perfectly, and encourages us all to correspond in the most beautiful of ways. I cannot possibly describe it as well as she, so here is an excerpt from her website…please pay her a visit, and maybe leave a note of applause on her blog as well! Bravo Miss B!

"Sitting atop the tidy shelves at Besotted Brand are the accouterments of fine living. Single note parfums await a mademoiselle (or madam) with a discerning décolleté. Members of letter writing societies, both real and imagined, appreciate the catalouges of courtly correspondence, bespoke or otherwise. Prints are waiting patiently to adorn your walls and steal your hearts. And, of course, it goes without saying that everyone the world over enjoys the satisfying thwap of a perfectly weighted wood-handled stamp."
