Haute Off The Rack

Comment “SHOP” & I’ll send you all the details to shop this exact look from @WHBM!

My mom made the most delicious Kentucky Derby Pie on Thanksgiving and it was so good that we decided to make it again for little holiday party. It’s honestly so easy and tastes like a big chocolate chip cookie pie. We’re both wearing holiday looks from @WHBM— I absolutely love this matching velvet pants and blazer set that you can also wear as separates and heels and lace tank are also from WHBM too. My mom is wearing a super cute wrap sweater in the espresso color and we styled it with some metallic shorts and a pair of beautiful Merlot heels.

Kentucky Derby Pie Recipe:
Ingredients 1 pie crust 9 inch (we used a premade pie crust)
For the Filling 1 cup butter melted  ½ cup granulated sugar ½ cup light brown sugar
2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
* Preheat oven to 350°F.
* In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter & sugar
* Add eggs, vanilla, bourbon, and flour, and whisk until combined.
* Fold in chocolate chips & walnuts.
* Pour filling into prepared pie crust.
* Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes until golden brown (it’s best if it’s a little doughy)

If you’ve been looking for a cute pair of low rise jeans that you can feel good in, you’re going to love these Selena jeans by @kutfromthekloth. They’re so stretchy and comfy and while also cute and on trend. I love how this style looks so effortlessly chic on the body and they can easily be dressed up with heels or wear them casually with sneakers. This fabric is so insanely soft and stretchy that I highly suggest you size down—talk about jeans that make you feel really good about yourself!

Top 6 Tips for Hosting Holiday Dinner Parties🎄🍷🍾:

1. Before creating your dinner menu, ask your guests if they have any food allergies.
For appetizers, we offered a refreshing hummus dip and a festive herb goat cheese log. For the main course, we served shorts ribs over garlic mashed potatoes with broccolini. We finished off the dinner with a delicious cinnamon apple pie and ooey gooey cake topped with vanilla ice cream.
Fun fact: Brandi used the same red Thompson wine that we served our guests to drink to also make the short ribs with. So we knew the dish would pair perfectly with the wine.

2. Create a bar & drink station.
You can’t host a party and play bartender all night so make it easy for your guests up refill their drinks by setting up a designated station with everything they need from glassware, ice, napkins, mixers, garnishes you name it! It’s also nice to offer two types of wine. We served both red & white wine by @thompson31fiftywines. It’s also nice to offer one signature batched cocktail.

3. Restock the bathroom!
Make sure the bathroom is clean and stocked with toilet paper, towels and other products guests may need.

4. Create the perfect tablescape & food display.
Use a combination of florals, candles, decor and dinnerware that will make your guests feel extra special. If you want to take it a step further, you can even create custom place cards with each guest’s name. Speaking of decor, I always suggest giving your guests suggested attire so no one feels underdressed or out place upon arrival.

5. Turn the lights down!
Turn off all the overly bright lights and set the mood with soft warm lighting that feels glowy and welcoming. I also recommend lighting some candles too.

6. Create the perfect vibey playlist.
When it comes to hosting you don’t have time to also be the DJ so create and playlist or choose one you know all of your guests will enjoy and let Spotify handle the rest!

Bonus tip:
Always make sure to greet your guests and introduce them to other guests before leaving them to greet a new guest.
As your guests leave, try your best to walk each person to the door and offer them any leftover food or wine to take home.

We played a game where you couldn’t say “holiday, Christmas, husband, kids, drink or cocktail” during the party, which ended in a plank contest for the final round!😂 Highly recommend this game!

Comfortable Travel Clothes

In fact, I would travel in my pajamas and Ugg Boots if I could, but unfortunately traveling in PJs just isn't acceptable in the real world. Thankfully, I found some extremely comfortable jeans from Punch Boutique and the cutest ankle boots by Yosi Samra for traveling.…
