We recently co-hosted a fabulous evening of cocktails and conversation on Chicago’s North Shore, to offer tips and tricks on welcoming family and friends into your home for a seasonal soiree.

Together with Tiffany Erickson of TE Style, hair stylist Erin Ahern, and makeup artist Rachel Reiman, we hosted a group of local women to discuss all things attire, hair, and makeup at our recent Spritzy Social — a Meet the Pros event focused on intentionality in personal style for high-profile events.

What a thrill it was to be part of the planning of the launch party for The Scout Guide North Shore! Designed to showcase excellent independently owned businesses in a variety of categories, The Scout Guide connects users to local businesses through a beautifully printed guide, curated by tastemakers.

What better way to get ready for a Homecoming dance than dinner at dusk with your closest friends?! As their parents enjoyed Blackberry-Rosemary Spritzers, this very special group of sophomores sipped a specialty mocktail (the “Ramblin’ Rizzler”!!) out of cups adorned with their school’s iconic logo.
