Life is a Story. Make yours a fairytale with Designer Lauren Elaine.
I love a great resort. It’s probably the first thing I consider when planning a vacation or getaway- even more so than the destination.

The first rule of Palate Club, is you MUST talk about Palate Club! An ever-growing wine enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share and talk all about my favorite new wine club with you – Palate Club! It’s an amazing online wine subscription service that acts like your own personal sommelier and wine concierge through an interactive
Rosé all day. Cliché? Maybe. Summertime motto? Most definitely. Originally the wine of choice for aristocrats and royalty, blushing Rosé pairs perfectly with summer parties, summer weddings, and even wedding gowns( it’s color and namesake flower inspired our newest “Rosabelle” gown!) So this year, in the effort to narrow down some of my favorite Rosés out
Hot of the heels of our amazing Houston, Texas trunk show, and dreaming of another getaway to my favorite home away from home, I’m sharing a look at our recent stay at the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn.

If Monte Carlo and Capri had a baby, it would be St. Barts. It’s a first class,
Somewhere along the North Shore of the US Virgin Island of Saint John, is one of the most beautiful beaches you’ve probably never heard of. Since tying the knot in 2013, an ‘annual honeymoon’ is something my husband and I try to plan each year, to treat ourselves and celebrate our marriage. Call it a
I’m a coffee person. My days don’t start without it…and my afternoons (and sometimes even evenings) end with it. I may be addicted, but it’s my drug of choice. That being said, I’ve always shied away from the idea of Afternoon Tea service. But a few years ago, I realized the error of my ways.
I’ll admit, I’ve never actually watched a full episode of the Andy Griffith Show. But– the idea of “Mayberry” – the iconic fictional location of the series, an idyllic American small town – immediately comes to mind when visiting Los Olivos, CA– and for all the best reasons. Now, that’s not without warrant (it actually WAS
A wedding represents so much more than one day. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of this with all of the planning and preparation that goes into the event itself. From huge affairs, to intimate elopements, and even courthouse nuptials — a wedding represents the start of a new life chapter. A new road to
I’ve had a lifelong love affair with Sedona. My love for this magical desert playground never wanes… so much so that even rides on Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland (supposedly inspired by Walt’s love of Sedona’s iconic landscapes) have me dreaming up return trips. So, when planning a quick little R&R retreat with my husband,
