BUT WHAT SHOULD I WEAR???

How many times have you asked yourself or your friends that question when getting ready to go to the party...ugh!! I was admiring my BFF the other day (as I often do)...she hosts a morning TV show and always looks so perfectly put together with the right necklace, the right earrings and the right bracelet and I always wear the same old jewelry so I decided "NO MORE!" I may not be on TV but there is no reason I can't look like I am!! I discovered Stella & Dot and I must confess I have fallen in LOVE; they have the most stylish jewelry at incredible prices and since I have started wearing it people stop me all the time to ask me where I got it...you can turn the simplest of outfits into something chic!! I can honestly say that it makes me feel so put together when I wear it with such a minimal effort. Who doesn't love that?!?!?

They are the perfect pieces for that baby shower, bridal shower or just grabbing dinner with the girls.

Raw Bars are the NEW Rage!

Hey Brides or Party Planners - Check out this new, healthy idea for your wedding.  Event planners, Josh Tierney,Co-Director of Style and Design at Great Performances says, "this cocktail hour staple doesn’t have to be messy melting blocks of ice, stringy seaweed, and thoughtless piles of seafood.  “The raw bar can be a clean, elegant, cocktail-hour friendly presentation. Instead of piles of shrimp and oysters, we’ve created a ‘grab n’ go’ seafood presentation, featuring small plates of oysters on a bed of sea salt and individual shrimp cocktail shooters in clear glass votive holders,” he says.

“Accent the menu with a condiment bar: Cocktail, mignonette, lemons, and horseradish presented in martini, highball, and rocks glasses. Miniature bottles of Tabasco sauce will complete the look,” adds Tierney.

Have floral arrangements peppered across the raw bar, with colors complimenting the seafood, to help enhance the overall statement and specialty rental furniture to “push the look from ho-hum catering hall, to one-of-a-kind, urban sophistication.”.

Toasty Baked Brie

What party would be complete without a cheese plate, and what could be better than a warm, baked brie!!!  It definitely makes a comforting cold-weather addition to your next soiree. While some recipes serve up the gooey goodness in puff pastry, this version takes an even simpler approach, with just four ingredients to spread atop accompanying crackers or crostini...come on who doesn't love easy?!?!

I don't know if I am just really hungry but the maple-pecan-topped wedge just looks so incredibly yummy that I think I am going to have to make this appie for my hubby's bday celebration tomorrow evening

Ok so here's how to make it straight from Everyday Food...(thanks for sharing)
