Recently, I've found that I finally have a little time to start my blog - sadly, thanks to the economy - but, luckily I will have more time to devote to Martha Stewart inspired projects, reading blogs of farm dwellers in Idaho and catching up on all my celebrity beauty secrets. While I do have less "real work" I am committed to making my blog NESTPARTY | Guide to a Stylish Life an awesome distraction from reality one fantastic idea at a time.

{INSPIRATION} Golden Hollywood Glam | Jeremiah Goodman

Wednesday, August 5, 2009
I'm so falling in love with the 1940's watercolor rooms of Jeremiah Goodman. He painted the parlors and boudoirs of some of the most golden goddesses (and gods) of the silver scene, including the ever-svelte Greta Garbo.

It is silly to want to decorate a room based on a dream-like, watercolor rendering of Old Hollywood?

These are just a few of my favorites. But, there are plenty to chose from with a simple Google search.

{COCKTAILS} Low Calorie Cocktail Recipes

Sunday, August 2, 2009
Throughout college I drank Sugar-Free Red Bull & vodka - it has become my signature cocktail over time - in fact, at my wedding we served Sugar-Free Red Bull & raspberry vodka at our cocktail hour. Most of our guests had never had a high-caffeine, energy drink before our wedding. So, needless to say, EVERYONE danced all night long!

Yesterday, I was reading this week's issue of US Magazine and came across a few recipes for LOW CALORIE COCKTAILS that I was just dying to share. Just a few of my favorites include Tory Burch's Tory-Tiki-Tini and Fergie's Bikini-e-tini. As soon as my finger is out of this ridiculously unflattering splint I'm totally hitting up my neighborhood bar for my beloved bartender to whip up Reese Witherspoon's Blackberry Chill. Bottoms up!

{OBSESSION} Tori Spelling Goes Green

Friday, July 31, 2009
Two nights ago ... I BROKE my index finger on my right hand. Yep, after 26 years, I finally accomplished what most 7 years old boys have been doing since the Earth started turning: breaking bones. I was merely playing fetch with a neighborhood dog when he decided why chew on a rawhide bone when he could chew on something a little more flavorful - my finger.

At first I screamed, "Ugh ... I'm a journalist ... this is the worst possible thing that could happen to me! I'll never type again!" But, strangely, as I sat in the emergency room I started to see a light at the end of the tunnel. The ER's waiting room television was tuned to
Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood. I had never actually watched the show (our cable provider doesn't subscribe to Oxygen) and now I was sitting there with my hazel-green retinas glued to the television. Sooo ... since I've been stuck at home the past couple of days I've downloaded ALL the past episodes of Home Sweet Hollywood.

The show is surprisingly entertaining, especially, when you're on the lookout for all of Tori's emerald
green wardrobe selections. Kelly green is by far my favorite color, and I've never really thought of it as a color that would look especially stunning on a platinum blond girl (Tori Spelling and myself, of course) since it's such a saturated jewel tone. Here's just a FEW of Tori's recent (this season of Home Sweet Hollywood's) going green moments.
