Perfect New Year's Party with My Notting Hill


Having lived in London, the title of Michele's blog grabbed my attention when I found it a few years ago. MY NOTTING HILL quickly became one of my daily reads. I encourage you hop over and check it out - you will love her style! 


Michele was kind enough to join us over the holidays and share some entertaining tips just in time for New Year's! 


Favorite Cocktail for Ringing in the New Year
A bourbon and gingerale with cherries, made from Baby Bourbon Whiskey from New York's Tuthilltown. The bottles are adorable too!
