This has to be one of my favorite covers to date, and I’m head over heels for this amazing shoot. I want to have this party.
There’s way more where this came from. Go check the new issue!

How adorable are Essie’s color names? My fav is turquoise & caicos (because I got married in Turks & Caicos!).

to buy or not to buy // peach daiquiri // orange, it’s obvious!

The groom hired a photographer to capture the moment he proposed and kept it a secret. He then gave the bride the framed photo on their wedding day. Now that’s planning ahead.

Check out their gorgeous wedding here.

I went with white cake and used raspberry whipped cream (delish!). Here’s how I did it.

1. Get your cans ready by removing the label, washing them out and buttering and flouring the inside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and make cake according to recipe on box, put cans on cookie sheet and bake. I baked mine for 35 minutes.
3. Let cakes cool and remove them from the cans. Mine slipped right out.
4. Cut off the ugly top (and eat!). Then slice the good part into 1/2-inch slices.
5. Make your frosting. I used heavy 1 1/2 cup whipping cream , 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 tablespoon sugar, whipped it together and folded in real crushed raspberries.
6. Make two cakes by layering cake, then whip, then, cake, then whip. Top with more whip and raspberries.

I love the versatility of these little cakes. I might try chocolate cake next time!

What a perfect gift for…anyone, really. A fashionista, a foodie, a new mom. You can even get a custom bookshelf made with all of your personal favs.

And for good reason. Luckily it’s live just in time for Valentine’s Day!
A few weekends ago we headed to this adorable cottage in Pennsylvania (you can rent it!) and did two photo shoots with two amazing couples.
We definitely had a perfect combo of great ideas, great execution and great people for this too-cute-for-words breakfast in bed proposal shoot.
Aren’t they just the most adorable couple you’ve ever seen?!

Now head over to maché and check out the entire issue!

The best thing about it? (Aside from the shiny, blingy, awesomeness.) It’s super versatile. So versatile in fact that it makes a perfect Valentine’s Day card!

These cards come in three shiny colors: pink, red and GOLD. Perfect for your L-O-V-E.
You can buy them in our etsy shop!
