It’s still warm here in Texas, but the temperatures have lowered closer to 90 than 110. I wore one of my favorite new Amazon finds on a cooler, rainy day last week – a turtleneck drawstring waist pullover. I love everything about this top, especially the...
I am excited about an upcoming trip to Mexico in May with my girlfriends. I’ve already started packing, and I wanted to share what I am taking in case you need inspiration for a bathing suit. It’s been a while since I’ve bought myself a new bathing...
I’ve pulled together my fall-style faves to help you get your wardrobe ready for pumpkin picking, wine tasting, and football games. Did you happen to read my Closet Class post from last week or watch my class on Instagram? Be sure to check out the important...
I’m headed back to Maine on April 1 for season two as #MelissaINNMaine. I can’t wait to get back to Ogunquit! For the next two weeks, I am working on packing my bags to prepare for my seven-month stint managing The Blue Shutters Inn. Over my break at...

Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.
She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print. Share my fondness of blending Mother’s mid-century style with a modern spin.
You know those pins your mother gave you - WEAR THEM! I took one of my mother`s vintage starburst pins and created a cinched waist with my velvet jacket. It definitely elevates your look!
You can add pins to your handbag, a jean jacket, a scarf around your wrist, and like my friend Jen @stylewithnoregret, she decorated a tinsel tree with vintage brooches.
You will definitely make a statement at the party!
Comment CAKE and I`ll send you my recipe for Cranberry Christmas Cake, or visit my website www.homewithatwist.com.
I like to pour the batter into small 8x8 pans for easy gifting. Add a dusting of powdered sugar, a ribbon, and a tag, and you`ll deliver the perfect Christmas morning treat.
