If you are a regular reader, I don’t need to tell you that I live/breathe/decorate by a #1 rule: WWKWD…as in, “What Would Kelly Wearstler Do?” So you know I had some fun putting together my ideal Mother’s Day brunch setting using placemats from Stone Textile with this in mind. Add in my grandmother’s gold-rimmed china with budget-friendly finds, throw in some color with supermarket flowers, and voilà, we’ve got ourselves a KW-inspired “modern glam” tabletop…
Just returned from a whirlwind trip to Napa Valley with my daughter, and wanted to be sure to share a fave spot of mine I’m so happy I got to visit again in my brief time there. I’ve mentioned before that my dad works in the wine industry, so I’m very fortunate that he introduces me to new and perhaps lesser known wineries every time I come up. Elizabeth Spencer may be small in size, but believe me, big in flavor and ambiance! The unassuming brick facade across from Rutherford Grill hides an intimate, vineyard-side outdoor courtyard that you’ll never want to leave. I highly recommend you make a reservation the next time you’re in town…
Spring is officially here! You know I’m all about a bargain, so what better way to spruce up your decor for the change of seasons than with a budget buy, I say! I personally love what Target’s been up to lately — always so on trend. A few fun, frugal finds from their latest Threshold collection…
Apologies for my absence! Big deadlines and still catching up from my daughter’s illness. It’s been awhile since I’ve done The E List, so I’m back today with a few gift ideas that made my list this year…
We’ve been talking about it for months, and it’s finally here! TOMORROW, the designer collaboration between Neiman Marcus and Target launches in store and online, just in time for the holidays! In addition to donating $1 million to the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in support of the American fashion design community, the two companies have recruited 24 CFDA designers to create limited-edition gift items, with most priced under $60. We’re talking real leather and silk, hand beading, hand-blown glass and 18K gold. Some of my faves:
I’m off up to my parents’ house in Napa, and couldn’t be happier for the break! We don’t get up there often enough, but when we do, my dad (who works in the wine industry) always makes sure we have a good time. A few simple things I’ve learned through the years that I thought I’d share…
Really excited to welcome such an inspirational woman here today! Megan and her blog are a delight, and her D.I.Y. Projects and Organization Tips are so doable you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of them before! On top of it all, she recently launched a second blog Honey We’re Healthy. Read on!
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of another fun project! Merely Sweets is a family-owned bakery here in Orange County, and they came to me after being open for a few months with just a logo…
Three cheers for colorful chic on the cheap! As if we in the O.C. aren’t spoiled enough with beautiful weather and beaches, now we have our very own C. Wonder store…
So you’ve been seeing me blog and Instagram about this shower for my sis-in-law forever, I know! But I got the pics that photographer Melissa Stewardson captured so beautifully, and had to share!
First let me say it is downright difficult to find party supplies aren’t too pastel (= baby) or too bright (= birthday). Sheesh. I had such a tough time sticking to my original color scheme, but I think we were able to pull it off all the same…
