GREAT Find- Chic Digital Invitations!!
August 4th, 2009FINALLY!! For so long our only option was the nerdy, sometimes tacky, Evite. Now, thanks to the Hirschfeld sibs we have Paperless Post! Providing elegant designs befitting classic stationers such as Smythson and Mrs. John L. Strong (who sadly closed its doors recently), the service is also loaded with modern conveniences such as an online address book and RSVP tracker. All in all, it’s a great asset to any savvy party planner. I invite you to become a member now. Click here to check it out!

Bob and Maxine’s 40th Wedding Anniversary!
July 24th, 2009Bob and Maxine are parents of our good friend Marissa. They hosted a fabulously fun anniversary party at their home in Alpine, NJ complete with a Saturday Night Fever cake and rockin’ oldies band. 

Guests mingled, and later danced by the pool.


With great friends they made while on their Honeymoon!

As always, so heartwarming to see long-lasting love.

A Life In Pictures
June 25th, 2009A photograph is a physical representation of a fleeting moment, and often shapes our memory of that time. For someone like Michael Jackson, a superstar, his every move- the good, bad and the ugly, were photographed and documented. It has been years and years since the world viewed him in a positive light. Now that he is gone, I want to remember him at his best- before all the allegations, odd behavior, and plastic surgery. I want to remember him as the incredibly talented entertainer that we was.

Want to be a better cook?
June 4th, 2009After reading this concise guide, I already am! I am so excited to share Notes on Cooking, A Short Guide to an Essential Craft with you, written by my sister Lauren Braun Costello and Russell Reich. Filled with advice you can’t and won’t find in any cookbook, it gives the foundation for joyous and delicious cooking. It’ll make a great hostess gift this summer! Tonight is the launch party at The French Culinary Institute. And for the first time, I’m not covering the event!
