I made these last year for the first time but I am making them again today so I want to share this video with you. Meet the Stuffed Crescent Roll Carrots! 😉 These are not just any appetizers; they’re the perfect addition to your spring gatherings, from potlucks to picnics and, of course, Easter. If you omit the parlsey tail they exit from the realm of cuteness but they enter into the realm of elegance! It’s all about making them chic and suitable for any spring affair.
Here’s your shopping list for these refined little delights:
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel (optional, for a touch of zest)
1/4 teaspoon salt (just a sprinkle)
16 petite sprigs of fresh parsley for garnish
And here’s how we bring these beauties to life:
Preheat your oven to a warm 400°F. Roll out your crescent dough and cut it into 8 strips using a pizza cutter or knife.
Here’s a little tip: with lightly oiled hands, caress the cannoli molds before wrapping a dough strip around each to craft your carrot shape.
Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, allowing them to breathe with about an inch of space between.
Bake until they’re golden and radiant (7 to 9 minutes should do).
Let them cool on a rack.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese, parsley, and if you choose, the lemon peel, with salt until the mixture is smooth and tempting.
Delicately pipe this filling into each crescent carrot, topping them with a parsley sprig to dazzle. Try these out for your next spring event and watch as they become the star of the show. I’d absolutely love to hear about the rave reviews you’ll inevitably get!

Incorporating spring’s essence into your home not only rejuvenates your space but also celebrates the season’s symbols of renewal and life. Here’s a refined five-point guide to bring spring’s vitality indoors, including the charm of egg decorations:

**Embrace Floral Elegance: Elevate your interior with an array of spring blooms—think tulips, daffodils, and cherry blossoms. Place them in sunlit spots around your home in vases to add a splash of color and a breath of fresh air. Incorporate potted plants like peace lilies or ferns for a continuous green backdrop.

**Lighten Up with Pastels: Transition your home’s palette to reflect spring’s soft hues. Replace heavy fabrics with lighter materials and add touches paste, colors such as lavender, peach, soft yellow, and baby blue. These colors mimic the serene sky and blooming gardens, bringing a peaceful harmony to your living space.

**Celebrate with Tasteful Seasonal Decor : Create a playful yet sophisticated vibe by introducing seasonal decorations. Paint wooden or ceramic eggs in pastel colors and metallic finishes, or wrap them with patterned fabric for a textured look. Add cute bunnies around the house too! Arrange them in nests of moss or amidst your table centerpiece for a whimsical touch that’s distinctly spring.

**Let There Be Light: Pull back the curtains and let the natural light pour in, magnifying the freshness of your spring decor. Sheer drapes can offer privacy without sacrificing sunlight, illuminating your space and highlighting the vibrant colors and textures of your spring decorations.

**Aromatic Ambiance: Infuse your home with the fresh scents of spring using floral or citrus-scented candles, diffusers, or room sprays. Consider scents like lavender, lemon, or rainwater to mimic the crisp, clean essence of the season, enhancing the overall sensory experience of your space.

I stumbled upon this absolutely adorable basket at Marshall’s (yes, Marshall’s!), but really, any chic basket will do. Think of it as the perfect canvas for a springtime surprise that’ll knock her socks off—or, better yet, replace them with something way cuter.
First up, lay down a plush red carpet of clear packaging and quilt batting at the bottom of this basket and then swathe it all in pink chiffon fabric. It’s like setting the stage for the main event!
Now, let’s get to the good part: the filling! Start with a pink, Palm Beach-vibe towel that screams ‘vacay mode’. Then, slide in those ridiculously pretty slippers that are basically a hug for your feet. Add a dash of elegance with some top-notch girly soap, toss in Sugarfina jellies and Easter truffles (because, hello, who doesn’t love a sweet treat?), and don’t forget a botanical tea paired with rose shortbread cookies for that ultimate spring feel.
But wait, there’s more! To top off this masterpiece, I tied a gorgeously curled pink and lilac bow, popped in some jeweled eggs (because we’re fancy like that), and finished with a sprig of lavender for that ‘stepped into a garden’ vibe.
And guess what? It was so cute that my youngest already swiped it from my studio! Talk about love at first sight. This basket? Low effort, low budget, but high on the wow factor. It’s my fave way to gift a bunch of mini experiences all wrapped up in one. It’s not just a gift; it’s a whole mood.
If you’re eyeing this basket and thinking, “I need those links ASAP,” just drop a “GIFT” in the comments, and voilà, you’ll get them instantly. It’s like magic, but better because it’s real and it’s all for you.
So there you have it, the ultimate guide to crafting a spring surprise that’s bound to dazzle and delight. Remember, it’s all about spreading joy, one chic, curated basket at a time. Stay Sparkly ✨

I crafted this absolutely striking centerpiece in a snap—seriously, 5 minutes, and bam, magic happened. We’re talking a spring wreath that not only sings “spring is here!” but does so with a flair that’s undeniably chic. And then, because we do like our dose of glam, I added a gold footed plate right at the heart of it all.
The real trick up my sleeve? That clear packaging material I always keep around. It’s not just filler; it’s my secret ingredient for that “floating on air” elegance. Eco-smart meets style-smart.
Now, for the crowning glory: my collection of jeweled eggs. These beauties are far from ordinary; they’re like little treasures you’d expect in an enchanted palace, each one perched elegantly on that gold plate.
This setup isn’t just a centerpiece; it’s the queen of conversation starters, turning my kitchen table into the place to be. Feeling inspired? Hit up the comments with a “SHOP”, and I’ll send those links your way.
Keep shining, darlings!✨💫

Dive into the chic world of “Bon Ton Bites,” your quick sip of sophistication in the everyday hustle. Where wisdom meets whimsy, and manners get a modern makeover. Ready for your first bite?

**Baggage Claim**: A lady or gentleman’s bag has its place, and it’s not the table. Unless it’s a Birkin; then, it gets a chair of its own. 😉😂

At the dinner table, your dazzling bag should complement, not compete. Tabletops? Off-limits. They’re for culinary delights and sparkling conversation, not for your fashion statement. A petite clutch? Let it grace your lap, quietly whispering elegance. A larger affair? Gently place it by your feet, a silent guardian of your essentials. Lucky enough to spot a spare chair or stumble upon a dedicated bag stool or hook? That’s the red carpet treatment for your beloved accessory. Remember, it’s all about striking that perfect balance between flair and function, ensuring your bag’s placement is as sophisticated as its design.

Hey everyone! Today, I’m all about showing you how to jazz up your next egg hunt. Even though we’re all adults here, there’s no denying the fun in a good old-fashioned egg hunt. This year’s got me extra excited because I’ve got the whole of Noblewood’s park and our gardens to set up an unforgettable hunt.
I stumbled upon some really cute decorations and put together an Easter basket that’s far from the usual. I opted for a “bone”-shaped basket that’s not only perfect for the hunt but will also look great storing pet stuff afterwards. I layered the bottom with two risers, placed the largest bunny in the center, and its smaller companions on the sides. Then, I filled it up with gorgeous lavender that made every corner pop. A few special eggs were the cherry on top.
Taking it outside, I placed it on a picnic table, added a simple runner, a few more eggs, and a bunny for that final touch. And just like that – we’ve got a setup that’s as effortless as it is elegant, ready to make our egg hunt both fun and stylish.
And if you’re feeling inspired to create this chic egg hunt scene for yourself, just comment SHOP below to get the links to all these fabulous finds. Stay sparkly! ✨

Let’s take a glamorous stroll down memory lane, shall we? Fabergé eggs,are not merely collectibles; they are my passport to a world of intrigue and unparalleled craftsmanship. Each miniature I’ve lovingly chosen from Russia, and the necklace that dangles Fabergé charms around my neck, whisper stories of tsars and opulence, of artistry that dances under the lamplight.
So, imagine the flutter in my heart when I happened upon these jeweled Fabergé-inspired Easter egg decorations. It wasn’t just an “Oh, how lovely” moment—it was a full-blown, “These beauties are coming home with me” affair. And come home they did!
Now, picture this: they’re the crown jewels of an utterly exquisite tablescape that screams glamour with a capital G. It all starts with a pink linen tablecloth. Atop this vision in pink, a clear charger with a gold rim plays its part, accompanied by the most darling light pink plates you’ve ever laid eyes on. The cutlery? Yes, it’s as modern and eclectic as it gets, each piece telling its own little story.
And the napkins—ruffled linen, cinched with the simplest, chicest circlet napkin rings—add just the right amount of “Oh, you shouldn’t have” to the mix.
But what’s a party without a personal touch? Easter-inspired menus and place cards sit prettily at each setting, not just as guides to gastronomic delights but as keepsakes. And then, the pièce de résistance: a jeweled egg for each guest.
At the heart, a floral centerpiece that defies the ordinary, curving and bending in an S shape acrylic vase. I used two but you can combine more for a dramatic effect.
So, if you’re feeling the vibe, if you’re ready to dive headfirst into a world where Easter meets extravaganza, comment “EASTER”. I’m all about sharing the love, the glam, and, of course, the secrets to making your Easter sparkle with a dash of sass and a whole lot of style.

Hey lovelies! Just got back from a fab weekend in London, and trust me, I’ve got loads to share. Stepping back into London is like snuggling into my favorite cashmere wrap, especially since I called it home during my student days. It’s always like catching up with an old friend who never runs out of surprises.
This trip was super special, not just for the usual London allure, but because I got to hang out with my daughter, Ginevra.
So, what went down in London? It was a splendid mix of the charmingly new and the dearly familiar. I simply couldn’t resist the call of the boutiques – London’s shopping scene is unrivaled. But the crown jewel? The Coco Chanel exhibit. Absolutely breathtaking. Each piece, every detail, was a lesson in elegance and innovation. It was so impactful that I’ve decided it deserves its own vlog spotlight – so, watch this space.
I also wandered through the “Diva” exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It was all about the evolution of iconic women through time. Really fascinating, but honestly, it was Chanel’s enchanting world that stole the show for me.
Naturally, no London jaunt is complete without diving into the best eats and indulging in the quintessential afternoon tea. It’s these little moments that really let you soak up the city’s unique vibe.
My wanderlust took me through Notting Hill, where I stumbled upon some Victorian prints that just seemed to whisper my name, promising to add a dash of history and elegance to my space. And, of course, I made my rounds at Fortnum & Mason, Harrods, Liberty, and Neiman Marcus – each visit adding a piece to my collection of delightful memories.
Kensington was my sanctuary – its serene elegance and prime location are unbeatable. It’s just the perfect blend of tranquility and access to all the excitement.
Reflecting on this trip, my bond with London just keeps growing stronger, filled with new discoveries and cherished moments. Catch you on the next adventure, and remember, always stay sparkly! ✨

Spring’s just around the corner, and I’m all about embracing its arrival with open arms and an open heart, decorating my home with little snapshots of the season that breathe life and joy into every corner. This time, I’ve whipped up something that’s effortlessly chic yet infused with a playful spirit that sings of spring.
At the heart of my latest setup is a chic rattan vase, its earthy texture a nod to those carefree, sunny days in the countryside. But, the true scene-stealers are these utterly adorable rattan bunnies, perched alongside the vase like they’re whispering secrets of spring’s magic. They bring a dash of whimsy and heart to the vignette, making everything feel just right. And let’s not overlook the artificial hydrangeas – so lifelike, you might catch yourself giving them a little water, just in case.
This ensemble is my little tribute to the season—country chic meets modern ease, with a playful twist that can’t help but make you smile.
If you are ready to invite spring into your home, just say the word—or rather, comment ‘SHOP’ below. I’ll point you in the right direction to make these charming pieces yours.
