Remember when I told you about my fun holiday inspired date night?! Well, I actually kicked off the evening with a cocktail in the cozy Off the Record at The Hay-Adams. Well, let me tell you – the hotel totally wowed me with its festive spirit and decor! Cheers!


I love this new furniture collection from AFR. Talk about a garden party! The couch even has a planter box on the top, which is the perfect nook for a flower arrangement.

Both the loveseat and ottoman are currently available, and the collection will be expanding soon to include additional pieces, so be on the lookout.
