SMP Loves…Twitter!

February 11th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 1 comment

For someone that runs a blog, technology is not my strong suit. I am one of those girls that just joined Facebook a month ago and gets a little nervous when her iPhone rings because she isn’t totally sure how to answer it. BUT, I am proud to say that SMP is now on Twitter and we’d love for you to join us! It’s so easy, even the most technically challenged can feel like they are...

Although Thread has been around a while, I actually fell in love with them after seeing a story on the creative director, Beth Blake, in Domino Magazine. Her newest designs are so effortlessly beautiful. Chic without being stuffy or cliche. They are simply beautiful, no other way to put it!

Bridesmaid Dress Picks: Vineyard

February 10th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 11 comments

I was totally blow away by Priscilla of Boston’s Vineyard collection. The 2009 Fall collection is great, but the Spring line is, well…FABulous. Totally fresh, smart styles that exude a sense of elegance and wonderful femininity. For the bride that prides herself on simple, clean lines and a beautiful, timeless sense of style.

Bridesmaid Dress Picks: Watters

February 10th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 10 comments

It’s hard for me to talk about bridesmaids dresses because I feel like there are SO many places to look…many of which don’t include the standard bridesmaids lines. I love Nordstrom and Bluefly, Banana Republic and some of the smaller national stores. With that said, there is something incredibly easy about ordering from a collection that was tailored for bridesmaids. Take Watters for example…

Bridesmaid Dress Picks: Jenny Yoo

February 10th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 10 comments

I really love Jenny’s wedding gowns, but what she completely excels at is bridesmaids. Her maids dresses are so unbelievably chic, one part flirty and fun, one part style and sophistication. Another one of those designers that really think about the girls that are wearing them, designing dresses that can be worn to parties, weddings and so much more!

Yesterday was all about wedding dresses and today is about that oftentimes harder decision…the bridesmaid dress.

First up…bridesmaids’ newest heavy hitter, J. Crew!

The upside of J. Crew…fabulous colors, chic styles and...
