I am SO excited to collaborate with one of my favorite girls in Hollywood – Reese Witherspoon – and her brand, Draper James!! Even though I am from California, I have several friends from the South who tease me that I am secretly Southern because I am so “cheery and warm.” I am a Southern girl at heart! ;) This collaboration came naturally to me as entertaining and recipes are my favorite!! Reese’s brand is absolutely STUNNING – you’re going to love it! Hop on over to Reese’s blog to see more photos and a fun Q&A! And stay tuned, because we’re brewing up more ideas as we speak for 2018!

Minimalist Christmas tree with sparse branches, adorned with white and gold ornaments and topped with a blue checkered ribbon. Set against a plain white background, the tree has a simple, elegant appearance.

Adding gingham ribbon to the top of the Christmas tree was one of my favorite touches.
