Holiday Party Tips - Chinoiserie Chic


Pour yourself a cocktail (or a cup of coffee) and enjoy some tips on holiday party entertaining from my next stylish guest Beth of CHINOISERIE CHIC.


Best Source For Holiday Party Inspiration


Nobody decks the halls for the holidays better than Martha and her team at MARTHA STEWART. There is always great inspiration for holiday parties and holiday decorating. 

Favorite Holiday Cocktail for Serving Guests


A Blood Orange Champagne Cocktail RECIPE

Favorite Party You Attend Every Holiday Season


A masked cocktail party - Beth is searching for a black lace mask like Audrey Hepburn's in How to Steal a Million. Last year Beth wore a Venetian mask. How fabulous!

Best Hostess Gift for Under the Tree


A beautiful orchid is always a welcome gift. To make it even more special, present it in a blue and white Chinese porcelain cachepot. 



Find one HERE.

Best Holiday Tunes For Entertaining


The new Christmas CD by MICHAEL BUBLE joins the ranks of Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis for truly wonderful holiday music.

Favorite Holiday Tradition



High tea at an elegant hotel that is all decorated for the holidays!
