I love a good holiday party- cocktails flowing, yummy food circulating and good friends all dressed up! When getting ready to go out, the first question is usually what to wear? The always flattering, always comfortable, always appropriate “little black dress” to the rescue. Every woman should probably have one LBD tucked away in her…
The holidays are right around the corner, so I will be posting gift guide after gift guide to help get you inspired. First up are the presents for your besties. For my group of friends, we usually do a gift swap at an annual lunch- each year a different theme to make it more fun…
My good friend Kristina is an excellent cook (think paella for a dinner party). She is my go-to when it comes to food prep questions, and I have many. To be honest, I was a little nervous to ask her to suggest an easy meal because nothing she cooks seems simple to me. While this…
When I find an author that I enjoy, I stick with them, going from one book to the next. If they write a series, even better. But, sometimes change is good. So I decided to try a few books by authors that I had never read before. Many of these were recommended to me and…
Ask any of my friends and they will tell you that I am Christmas tree ornament obsessed. They each have their own corresponding dog ornament, perhaps a fancy leopard ornament and definitely a small Santa ornament tied to a gift package (more on these tiny ornaments on a previous post Wrapping Resources).

Once Thanksgiving is over, I get right to decorating our house for the holidays. Each year I think the kids might get motivated and want to help me deck the halls. Nope. The decorating is left for me to do alone. But please, do not feel sorry for me– I blast Michael Bublé, pour a…
This post is the first in a series called Holiday Help. Between now and Christmas, I will publish weekly posts helping you prepare for the holidays ahead. Think gift guides, decor ideas, and party fashions! I am getting psyched for the holidays because I love to give gifts. I really like everything that goes into…
Meet Me
Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more. I post about trusted products I love, items I lust after, and treasures I give as gifts. Expect to hear about the latest thriller read, maxi dress, simple meal, and best new mascara-- and there will always be a touch of leopard print, and a monogram or two. I hope to connect with readers by offering inspiration and suggestions through content that is classic, chic, shoppable, and a bit whimsical.
