Shaken or Stirred

February 24, 2025 by styledbykdg

“Dry martini,Jigger of gin,Oh, what a spell you’ve got me in,Oh my, do I feel high…” Scotch & Soda by the Kingston Trio Years ago we wanted to host a Christmas party but the chance of wedging ourselves into everyone’s holiday schedule was slim. So we decided to hold the party in February when pretty much no one is having a big shindig but everyone could really use one. Thus, Frosty Cocktails was born. THE SET UP*: We have now […]

Friday Five

February 5, 2021 by styledbykdg

The first weekend of February can have a bit of Poe-like dreariness to it. I don’t necessarily mean weatherwise. January, while bleak, is a bit of a respite from the holidays. But February. February is just January on repeat with still the soggy miasma of March ahead of us. So! Let’s find some things to bring us joy this weekend! Go outside and get fresh air they keep saying. Well, depending on where you are in the country, the weather […]

If I Were…

April 16, 2020 by styledbykdg

Meeting my sister for dinner tonight. My sister and I try to have fairly regular “sister bonding nights”. We hunker down in a delightful restaurant and talk for hours. And hours. It’s something I look forward to the most in my daily life. As you can imagine, while we live 15 minutes apart, we cannot see each other right now.. The hardest thing I did was look at my calendar at the beginning of March and saw our scheduled sister […]

An Ode to Will Shortz

April 15, 2020 by styledbykdg

A little known fact about me is my fondness for NPR’s Sunday Puzzle. I get so excited when I know (er, think I know) the answers, that I shout them out, startling my daughter and the dog, and miss hearing the actual answer, then I frantically ask my husband “what did they say? what did they say??”. You can guess how much fun it is for the whole family. 🙂 While we are currently living in the most puzzling of […]

Magic Words

May 15, 2019 by styledbykdg

I find I do far more online shopping than actually going to a store. Not great I know. I should be trying harder to patronize brick and mortar stores and I am working on that. But when those two magic words pop up, well, I do get a flutter. Free shipping. And today only TJ Maxx has free shipping. TJ Maxx is one of my guilty pleasures. I can go to a store and just wander for an hour or […]

Lust Because

March 24, 2015 by styledbykdg

Sometimes finding a ball gown for spring formal events can be difficult. But this stunner nails it. Oscar de la Renta Sleeveless Floral Embroidered Gown in Navy – Neiman Marcus $13,990 However, any dress that costs the equivalent of year’s college tuition – minus books, lodging, meals – should be able to sing, dance, clean the house, do the grocery shopping and give out lollipops.

While the Party People Sing Hey!*

January 29, 2015 by styledbykdg

The Superbowl is coming and you know what that means? Budweiser puppy commercials!!!! I always cry watching them. Every time. It also means hosting and cooking and snacking and just one of those great opportunities to hang out. Mid Century Bowls – West elm $5-$39 [These are just beyond stunning.] Whip up these easy peasy popcorn recipes and scatter bowls around the room. From oregano to paprika, these snacks will add a little pep to the game watching if your team […]
