Danielle Rollins is the ultimate party girl. The Dallas-born author of Soireé: Entertaining with Style plays hostess for a living, teaching others how to dazzle while throwing garden parties, black tie dinners, and girls’ nights in. Each 75-degree day that sneaks into the cold week makes me absolutely desperate to gather some friends and pour all the cocktails that pop up on my Pinterest feed. Luckily, Danielle gladly gave us some further inspiration for throwing a couple weekend soirees. On her list: “Bloodies & Brunch” and “Mexican, Margaritas, and Mamacitas” with outfits to match. Take a look at her favorite party accoutrements.
