Elegant Black and White Color Board

I love how a black and white color palette can be both modern and retro, as well as minimalist and dynamic. Here are a few of my black and white faves, but check out more on our Pinterest page. There we have things sorted out by color so that you can find your own inspiration!

It’s Friday, So Why Not Look at Delicious Cakes?

Is it a little self-sabotaging to start off the weekend looking at cakes? Perhaps. But just like my newfound and shameful addiction to the teenage soap opera Pretty Little Liars, sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants.

Easter Sweet Table Inspiration

An Easter wedding is the perfect excuse to have a sweet table full of sugary deliciousness! Take advantage of the season’s candy bounty and come up with a playful favor for them to take home. You could use little jars or even small baskets! Although, save yourself (and the cleaning staff) some grief and leave that annoying green plastic grass at home. Especially if you are having kiddies at the wedding, this table will be a hit!

And speaking of the kids, why not fill the gap between the ceremony and the reception with an Easter egg hunt?

Happy First Day of Spring Inspiration Board

I have a love/hate relationship with spring. On one hand, the days are getting longer and flowers are starting to pop up and you just know summer is right around the corner. But then. Then it rains. For three weeks straight. For this gal, who loves to plan, spring is just a bit unpredictable for my taste. Therefore, I have to remind myself what is freaking superb about spring: cute light layers, pastels flooding everyone’s wardrobe, and filling my house with tulips.

Oscars Party: Breakfast for Dinner

I love the Oscars. Really, really love them. So much so that I even watch the award for sound editing. And while most people host Oscar parties filled with fancy popcorn and movie candies and sophisticated small bites, I prefer simpler cuisine. And breakfast for dinner is always a crowd pleaser. Here are some fun recipes for a relaxed night in with friends, filled with teary acceptance speeches and tasty comfort food.
