Ever wonder what to bring as a hostess gift? Try this idea: wrap a bottle of wine in a new dish cloth and tie with a bow. Very cute and useful at the same time!

So honored to write for the The Daily Muse. Here’s a sneak peak - read more here: http://www.thedailymuse.com/style/your-dress-code-decoder-what-to-wear-to-a-work-event/

Making sure your guests can easily eat hors d’oeuvres is crucial for them enjoying the food. If they have to juggle large pieces with multiple bites it will add an awkwardness to the flow of your party.

Pardon the blurry iPhone pictures, but I wanted to demonstrate how easily you can throw a cocktail party, even without matching or nice platters. Grab a couple bottles of wine, some hors d’oeuvres, flowers and invite a few friends over. This even works for a tiny one-bedroom NYC apartment!
