I love this box that the new Roost catalog was wrapped up in. Very cool.
Some sweet Valentines from my co-wokers, plus a couple props that haven’t been put away yet, ended up becoming a cute vignette on my desk this morning.
The last few months Zack and I have been doing some pretty serious DIY in our little house. New wall colors, new dark wood floors, new color schemes…overall just going for something brighter an...
LOVE this iPhone camera app I just found called myFilm. I love the tilt-shift look; I think this does it better than the Tilt Shift Generator app.
I should have gotten 2 pairs of these because I know I’ll wear them out before I stop loving them. Great shoes + cuffed, dark skinny jeans is my favorite look.
Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of working with a lovely bride, Laura Ogard, and her equally lovely parents. Her style and my style were so compatible, so it was a snap to pull off a cupcake b...
Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend; I had a great one. The best! You know I love seeing amazing things that are of historical significance to our planet (AFAR magazine calls in Experiential ...
Where to begin? Have I bragged enough about the amazing girls I work with, who have become some of my most favorite and fabulous friends? Not to brag too much about them and make you jealous, but whe...
Sneak peak of my party dress and the amazing spread from my birthday party! The ever-amazing Kamin took some great pics; will post when I get them from her!
Birmingham has a new TexMex joint! Chuy’s is located at the Summit, next to the equally trendy Flip Burger Boutique, and it’s just as good. My lovely friends spent our lunch hour there to...
Jessica Stalnaker, this girl, what am I going to do with her? She so talented it’s scary. I was so happy to once again coordinate my cupcakes to her paperie, this time for her Nana’s (pro...
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good, solid mid-century post. Zack and I (mainly me) have been wanting to find an old Airstream trailer for a while now and outfit it in complete and utt...
Admission: I’m a serial crafter. I take arts and crafts very seriously, and you’ll have to pry the hot glue gun out of my cold, dead fingers before I stop. So on that lovely note, last Ch...
I’m so in love with my plastic toy camera. Love this photo I shot with it a couple months ago of the gorgeous Irish landscape! That sunlight reflecting off the water…oooh snap.
Wow, thanks so much everyone. I have had some of the sweetest emails, blog comments, facebook messages, and kind words the last few weeks that I’ve been on hiatus. Thank you everyone, friends a...
I really love Jen Gotch’s (my polaroid blog and co-creator of ban.do) reason of why she hasn’t blogged in a long time. So I’m going to steal her reason, as it is the same reason I h...
I made these cute little shortbread buttons and sandwiched them with chocolate buttercream for Zack to take to work today. I played very sly last night while I was baking them and told them that they...
Loren Wood is the best. She made us gals who had to do a shoot (for our summer issue no less) in the 32-degree weather a big batch of REAL hot chocolate. We’re talking melted milk chocolate, cream, c...
I can’t get enough of this. I want every piece. I just love and appreciate dinnerware that is tongue-and-cheek and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Memo Pad Dinnerware by Fishs Eddy, av...
Gooey cream cheese frosting sandwiches between two dense, fudgy chocolate chunk brownie cookies. Say what? Yeah, it’s for real. Get ‘em while they’re room temp! Available this week ...
It’s been below freezing for almost a solid week here in Birmingham. I love cold weather (mostly because I love cold weather apparel and accessories), but lately I’ve really just been dre...
This really fun invitation idea was made by my amazing friend and partner in crime style, Tiffany Robinson. It was for her husband’s 31st birthday party, and since the birthday boy happens to ...
Over these last couple days while I’ve been on my (desperately needed) vacation, I keep thinking about what was significant in my life in 2009. (From a market/trend standpoint of course; 4 of m...
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which came first? Me buying the BabycakesNYC bakebook because of the great photos and art direction, or me wanting to bake something yummy for my diabetic gr...
…with homemade marshmallows, of course! So much more delicious than the grossly over-processed stuff you get in a plastic bag. It’s so easy, and you can cut them into virtually any shape!...
When I decided to make some cinnamon cupcakes (with always-delish 7-minute frosting) for Katie’s Christmas party, I knew that my baking would have to take on an especially festive air. So I tur...
