The Real Chow Baby

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

When Caren West calls (or emails), I listen. As one of Atlanta’s premiere PR mavericks, her clients are all incredibly fab.

Then she asked me to review The Real Chow Baby. What? Isn’t that like a fast food place? Really, Caren?

Really?

Sweet Seersucker

Good Morning Darlings!

Everyone in the south knows the only fabric that will keep you looking cool and fresh in this terrible heat is seersucker. It looks wonderful on both men and women and the season for it is now.

What else would you wear to that garden party with your precious hat?

Keeping fresh after the fold…

Postcards from NYC

Good Morning Darlings!

You know Eric and I had the best time visiting New York. Our sweet friend, Johnny P., lent us his Brooklyn Heights apartment and upon arrival, saw the most breathtaking view of the Statue of Liberty. Amazing.

I though you all would like to see some photos.

Enjoy!

Visit NYC with me!

For The Love of Ginger

Good Morning Darlings!

I love ginger. I love ginger so much that I am now officially a redhead.

But today I am talking about a very exotic ginger….

Cue the Gilligan’s Island theme music!

Cinco feliz de Mayo

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

It’s Cinco de Mayo! Hooray! It’s that fabulous holiday where we celebrate Mexican Independence Day! Time to grind the masa for tamales and make some luscious tequila beverages.

Setting the table with a gorgeous pinata centerpiece would really set the mood. Don’t worry about filling it, this one is just for show. Cover the table with your brightest yellow cloth and place napkins of red and blue out for your guests. That should make everyone feel festive.

I like this guy!

And how about those drinks? Lets see what we can whip up, shall we?

Come on in for some tasty libations!

Everyday is a Hootenanny with Melanie!

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

The weather is getting warmer, and you know what that means – more parties!

Our darling friend and neighbor, Melanie threw the first hootenanny of the season. Don’t you love that word, hootenanny? Me, too.

Melanie is good at it, too! With the cutest handmade signs and every type of chip and jello shot known to Western civilization, it was time to party! And party we did!

Take a peek into what’s going on in my world today
