My fiancé loves peaches. Really, really loves them. Not alone, oddly, but inside of things. Like, inside of my peach and blueberry pie, for instance. I don’t blame him… the pie is delicious. I would go on about the pie and how much he loves it, but I risk getting mired in an unsavory realm [...]

I love it when I randomly take a look at one of the many lovely shops I’ve “Favorited” on Etsy, and find – always to my surprise, for some reason – new and outstanding product ready for purchase. Say it with me, folks – new product. Ahh, just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it. In [...]
Okay, you all know how much I love the little details that go into creating the ins and outs of your wedding decor. And it’s no secret that I love me some craftaliscious gift packaging. Well, one big component of those obsessions is twine. And for a long time, it didn’t matter what kind. You [...]

Her paper perfection was the featured [...]

Somehow, this is really, really exciting to me. The weddings featured on Style Me Pretty almost always make me swoon, but I think it’s the fact that I’ve totally been to the Larchmont Yacht Club (I say with an upturned nose and jutting chin), and the place looks quite unbelievably exquisite in these photographs. I [...]
