Inspired by Bunny Mellon

Desiree — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:24:53 +0000

For those of you who don’t know Bunny Mellon she is my inspiration and idol next to the one and only Jacqueline Kennedy (ironic because they were friends!). She is a philanthropist, art collector, and one of this countries most famous gardeners (she created the rose garden at the White House!). I also love that she spends time away from her 4,000 acre farm in Virginia, to be here on Cape Cod and Nantucket. That means I am holding out hope to meet her one day It’s inspiring people like this, that keep me striving to be better at my job, and a better person.

Desiree Spinner Events New Office!

Desiree — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 13:25:54 +0000

Hi Lovelies!

This week it was bitter sweet for all of us at Desiree Spinner Events. We packed up and moved out of 919 Main Street, where it all started 3 years ago. Although the space was super cute and in a great location, we simply grew out of it. Today, everything was packed up and we moved to a temp location until the new office is done being built. The new space is honestly my dream office and I cannot wait for it to be done in a few short weeks.

So for now I am saying goodbye to the old office, it’s been real, but we are off to greener pastures.

What Would Jackie Wear?

Desiree — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 15:19:47 +0000

By now I am sure you know my obsession with Jackie Kennedy, I mean seriously how amazing is she? I blogged about her here and here and sorry kids, I am going to do it again! Some of my friends are getting engaged this year (yay), and that means lot’s of engagement parties. I have to ask myself, what would Jackie wear? Maybe something like this?

Are you going to a lot of engagement parties this year? Tell me about it!! What are you wearing?
