We first heard of the idea of keeping a “dinner party diary” after one of our favorite newsletters, The Snoozeletter, pointed out an article from Quartzy in which the writer became inspired to jot down memories from dinner parties they’d hosted. Considering Darby and I have started creating our own holiday meals and memories together, we were also inspired by the idea of keeping a journal to recall details about the day’s events — in a much more personal, heartfelt way than I

We're a few days into the New Year now, and our first Christmas in New York is in the books. We never imagined that BOTH of us would be living in New York City come Christmastime, but life has a funny way of working out. 2018 taught us that a lot can happen in a year, and ever since we found ourselves in the same city, we feel like we've been playing catch-up.

Kris Jenner goes all out every year to make her house truly look like a winter wonderland. And we just want to be a part of it. All the girls look like they have so much fun. Plus John Legend was there singing Christmas carols- it doesn't get any better than that. However, we were able to get an inside look by watching all of the family's snapchats. Christmas m

If you love quality makeup at an affordable price point and unexpected product releases, then this is the makeup brand for you. Naturally, when ColourPop decided to go and drop a Top Secret Mystery bag, the Labels and Lacquer girls couldn’t resist a purchase. The bag sold out in just four minutes, so the fact that we were able to get our hands on it was pretty incred
