A BRUNCH, LIFESTYLE & ENTERTAINING DESTINATION WITH ON-AIR CORRESPONDENT BRIELLE GALEKOVIC
A Los Angeles-based brunch and cocktail blog by Brielle Galekovic.
I can’t believe I didn’t post this back in August! Blame it on the quarantine-era brain… I hosted this segment on KTLA at the end of the summer highlighting the tie dye fashion trend that has emerged over the span of 2020 including two of my favorite brands: Onzie and Lulus. One of the segments I am most proud of!
Take a look… enjoy :)
Thank you so much to everyone who tuned into Wake Up with The CW Las Vegas this morning!!! Full segment is linked above. We are officially in TOTAL Super Bowl mode!!!
Whether you enjoy watching football or not, we all know that on Super Bowl Sunday we show our guys support by watching the game. But instead of the expected beer, pizza, and lounging on the couch for hours, these are tips for what the wives and girlfriends can bring to the party to put their own spin on celebrating football together.
Sweet Reason is a leading CBD-infused sparkling water brand that offers four refreshing flavors: Strawberry Lavender, Cucumber + Mint, Grapefruit, and Lemon Rhubarb. As an elevated CBD-infused sparkling beverage, this light sipper is a great non-alcoholic option that will keep you calm during the stressful moments of the game.
The gals still want to keep up with the game, and this makes everyone more invested and interested. Write questions on cards and whoever has the most accurate answers once the game is over wins a prize.
Sip on champagne or your favorite wine in a Brumate Wine Tumbler or Champagne Flute .

It’s the best time of the year again – the debut of The Gilded Bellini’s annual Holiday Gift Guide! I couldn’t be more excited to share with you all some of my favorite things this holiday season that make for such fabulous gifts.
What makes half the fun of the gift guide each year? The decorating! This year’s colors are hot pink and gold. Does it get any more “gilded” than that? Of course, I owe most of the glitz and glam of the tree decorations to my favorite store for all sparkly home decorating accessories, Z Gallerie! Everything from the tree skirt to the gold ornaments to the garland all came from Z Gallerie. I love how each piece is timeless and can be used each year countless times to create a magazine-worthy set up. I’ve linked all the items I decorated with at the bottom of this post!
Such a festive bottle! Chandon harvests under the stars each year because the cool California night protects the quality of the grapes. The acidity and aromatic finesse of the fruits are preserved when gathered in the evening, and now Chandon is bringing that magic to gatherings all season long.

Using our specially designed facial FaSha tool and massage, we release blockages in the skin, muscle and fascia that prevent optimal blood and lymph circulation, and help

A stylish and bright budget bubbly that is under $15 - because wine-ing down for the holiday season doesn't always have to break the bank. Campo Viejo Cava is fruit filled with a bright, exuberant mouthful and a crisp freshness on the palate. Campo Cava is made in what is recognized as the most high-quality sparkling wine process. This creates greater complexity within the wine as well as a finer, more effervescent bubble structure. The Limited Edition bottle is available on Drinks & Co for $14.

Because rosé should be enjoyed all year round! The premium rosé label, created by award-winning music icon, Jon Bon Jovi, son Jesse Bongiovi, and acclaimed French WinemakerGérard Bertrand, launched in early 2018. In its inaugural year, Hampton Water received a 90-point rating from Wine Spectator. The esteemed organization also named Hampton Water the top-ranked rosé in the world in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2018. In 2019, Hampton Water received the award for Market Watch’sBest New Wine Product and won Wine Enthusiast’s 2019 Wine Star - Wine and Culture Award.
The idea to create a wine, emblematic of a bon vivant lifestyle, emerged during time spent in the Hamptons, between father and son. Hampton Water is described as a fresh and lively rosé, with distinctive minerality. The wine is made up of the perfect blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvèdre grape varieties distinctive of the French Mediterranean region of Languedoc.
