So, I just did something life-changing. I got a new mattress. And not just any mattress. I got a Cocoon by Sealy . This mattress has transformed my life. I've never been so impressed by a shippable mattress ( and with the way I travel/relocate and compulsively shop online, I've tried many ). The box it is shipped in is super chic, and the unpacking process couldn't have been easier. Head over to my Instagram Story " Home " Hightlights to see a BTS peak at me setting the Cocoon up. Since I started using it, I've been sleeping like a rock! It's awesome. No more tossing and turning. No more aches and pains in the a.m.. The mattress's high-quality memory foam adapts to your body size, shape and sleep position to ensure a great sleep. And the support layers are engineered from heavier, more robust foam to be highly durable and resilient. And what truly made me fall in love: the chill factor . The mattress's premium stretch-knit cover i...

From rooftop to backyard, but still sipping rosé in the summer. What’s more fun than an impromptu, summer dinner al fresco and unwinding with a sweet glass of rosé (or Chardonnay). Decoy Wine is one of the finest American wine producers, and a personal favorite! Cheers!  Serving in our dinner: barbecue chicken, sweet cornbread bites, and berry salad. As a snack while dinner is being prepared, in place of nuts or chips, serve fresh cherries. And freezing berries and fresh lemon juice in your squared ice cubes, adds a bit of sweetness and charm to water - served in mason jars with pink, paper straws for extra charm. Just add friends.   Photos by  Daniel Murillo Follow  @decoywine  to see more amazing wine + summer bash inspo!

I'm definitely not a decorator or designer ( despite taking a few interior design classes in college - just for fun ) but I do really enjoy decorating a space . And I definitely love furniture shopping. I think I just enjoy style - all definitions of style - whether it be clothing, accessories, or decor. Until now,  I've never really shared a look into my personal home decor, but being in the middle of a new move gives me the perfect opportunity to chat decorating.  Home decor is an extension of your personal style. What you hang on your walls, and what you wear on your body, both express who you are equally. Just like my personal style each day - eclectic and created with themes or characters in mind - each room has a different theme. There's a story, a creation and an idea developed. But in a subtle, smart and obtainable (or wearable) way. Starting with -  "Stage 1 " of our bedroom, which still needs a few finishing touches , was built out wit...

If you know me well, you know how special Halloween is to me. It's always been my favorite time of the year. The reason may be a bit deeper than you think it is. Sure, my manifesto consists of candy, ghost stories, horror films, dressing up in costumes, and a touch of decadence and debauchery; So it's only natural that I gravitate towards this crazy holiday. Growing up in New Orleans, the city of voodoo, cemeteries, haunted houses, (real) vampires and ghosts galore. It seems fitting that creepy settings and darker aesthetics make me feel at home, but it's also having an incredible party-planner/hostess as a mother who throws epic Halloween parties that makes this holiday so special. "It's the day my whole life changed," my mom, Donna, said when asked why Halloween was such an important holiday for her. Back in 1985, Halloween night, my parents met for the first time... Soon they were married, had me, later Bella joined our clan, and the rest is history a...
