Start the New Year with a POP (4/4)



The guys bring beer, and now you can bring a four pack of mini Sofia Coppola Blanc de Blancs (yes, they’re pink cans, straws included, $16). If cans aren’t your style, try a festive bottle of Sofia Coppola Blanc de Blancs for $19 that comes wrapped in pink cellophane.

Cheers!

Martha Stewart Weddings: Start Spreading the News


Martha Stewart Weddings: Behind the Scenes

What do you picture when you think of Martha Stewart?  If you answered “perfection”… you are correct.

I had high expectations when I hopped off the plane in NYC, and after only a couple hours, every expectation was exceeded.

In between the styling and wardrobe changes, I was lucky enough to peek around the loft, including the prop room. Yes, that’s right… Martha Stewart’s prop room! I have never seen so many beautiful things in one place in my entire life, all hand picked by MSW pros. As I walked back to the sunny studio, I came across a cooler full of hundreds of roses, all color coded {in true Martha fashion} and ready for the picking. The rest of the day was spent laughing with {and gawking at} the amazing MSW crew… unbelievably stylish, talented and welcoming.

In short, it felt like a dream! And to all those who helped make it happen -my family, friends, clients, colleagues- thank you for making my biggest dream come true!

xoxo,
Kara

Girls Gone Galena

Just 3 hours outside Chicago, a quaint, historical town exists… Meet Galena, Illinois. It is the prefect retreat for wine, spa and shopping. Needless to say, we made it a girls trip!

Be sure to stop by my top favorites:

Galena Wine Cellars {1, the *tall* pour and  2, long list of wines to taste}

Jamie’s Wine Studio {3, sit at the bar for a sun-kissed view and small talk with the lovely owner, Jamie}

Embe
{great for a bloody mary in the a.m. or live music in the p.m.}

Otto’s Place {delicious breakfast}
