    I just about had a heart attack! It is like my dream suddenly appeared on the internet! Too bad I live in Oregon and do PR (althought I do have a marketing degree and totally willing to be stolen...hint hint). If you ever need to fill that type of roll on a non-intern basis keep me in mind :)

    P.S. I like your secretary. She looks like she has a good handle on screening anyone interested in entering the scantuary that is the SMP office.

  2. Christine says:

    This is cool. If I wouldn't be overseas I would apply for the Creative Intern...
    And Audrey is such a cutie! :-)

  3. Mo says:

    Good luck finding the perfect staff! Sounds like a lot more fun than this spreadsheet I'm looking at right now.

  4. What if you don't pay me, but I do the intern job from Birmingham? I'm serious! This is just what I've been looking for! I'd pay you if my husband would let me!

  5. Allyson says:

    What's does the "benefit package" consist of, Abby?

    Would the preferred candidate get their own Jolly-Jumper, just like little cutie, Audrey? :)

    You can't go wrong with a makeover from YHL *wink*

  6. Tracey says:

    Abby, you need to open a Los Gatos office so I can work for you! Get on that, will ya?
    PS: you have the cutest office staff!!

  7. JL says:

    For this job I could move! Abby I seem to be missing the email address where we are supposed to send our information. Could you please post it for us?

    Thanks!

  8. V says:

    Abby - I am SO very inerested - ad sales opportunity sounds like a dream! I live in Chicago! Where is the best place to email? Via "Contact" tab?

  9. dovely says:

    i'm starting my graduate degree studies this fall at SCAD and i'm bursting at the seems with excitement! I can't wait to apply :D

    thanks so much for the opportunity, Abby!

  10. I'm excited to see StyleMePretty get even better with all the new help. Good luck finding the right people!

  11. Anna says:

    Thanks, Abby!

  12. Leslie says:

    I am very excited about these opportunities :-) Can you please post the email address so that I may send my resume?!?

    Looking forward to hearing from you
    ~Leslie

  13. Callie says:

    Would flooding your inbox with emails begging you to take an out of state creative intern be at all persuasive? Because California girls could be perfect for the job, too! Just a thought.

  14. I'm seriously looking for a job. I'm in the Dallas area but have no problem with relocating. can you send me an email address or a direct message on twitter (i think we're both friends) so I can send my resume?

    Thank you so much!
    ~Clarissa

  15. Meret says:

    If I lived in Boston I would do the job for free! It's my dream.. so jealous ; )

  16. Angela says:

    OH MY GOODNESS! PAID to sit on Facebook and Twitter all day?! Sounds too good to be true. Too bad I already work at an law office 30 days a week. I probably spend more time reading this and many other blogs/commenting on blogs/hanging out on social networks than I do actually working though. If only there were some way to work that out!

  17. Vanessa says:

    If I didn't live in New Zealand, I would be applying for ALL these positions in a heartbeat because not only am I perfect, but I'm perfect for SMP. I also am looking for an at home position due to the recent arrival of my own little princess. Audrey is beyond adorable, but I have to say my beauty is the apple of my eye. I absolutely love your website and any and everything weddings. I wish you the best in finding the perfect fit - though keep in mind it won't be me! hehe.
    Keep up the great work, you make every day that bit sweeter. Thank you. x

  18. Kim Benham says:

    I am a wedding/event palnner here in Alpharetta Georia and own my own small company. I would love to be involved with your company. I live for this kind of stuff. I think outside the box and am very creative and organized. I love working with people and offering creative solutions for their events. I specialize in paper crafting and have many "happy client Comments" I can provide for you. More than just making a living, I dream, eat, sleep party planning. It's just in my blood. Iam currently in need of a at home job to continue to be a mom of 4 first and foremost. I can't wait to hear from you. Thanks
    Kim

  19. Julie K. says:

    Just wanted to say I have a baby girl named Audrey and a Maltese pup named Chloe! Looove your website! I come for pretty and creative birthday party ideas, plus love all of the eye candy. Now is your hubby's name "Paul" by any chance? *wink*

  20. Angela says:

    Also... you are TOO pretty!! AND you use Adobe Air? I see Twitter in one of those pics.

  21. Bonnie Bell says:

    There are three people out there who will be very fortunate to land these opportunities!

  25. Jaclyn says:

    lovely opportunities! congrats on your success!

  26. Karissa says:

    How soon do you need a marketing intern to start? I'm working a full time summer job right now, but I would be beyond excited to have a job, especially working for you (!) starting at the end of August. Please let me know if you're interested.

  27. Jenn says:

    This position sounds AMAZING! First off - love your little pad - Plus, adorable little daughter and dog! I am getting married next May and visit your site almost everyday for inspiration. Love how you keep it real! I am an currently an art director down in Atlanta but am originally from NY. So close but yet so far... Lots of luck to you in finding the right staff. Keep up the incredible work you are doing!

  28. Corinne says:

    I'd love to apply for this position but I feel that Style me pretty may feel that I am not experienced...and I live in MN

  29. Erin taylor says:

    I am appling right now!

  30. Danielle says:

    These positions sound wonderful. I'm excited for the lucky folks that get them! I still have a year of school left, in addition to planning my June 2010 wedding, otherwise I'd apply! Will there be new positions next year perhaps?

  31. krissy says:

    Yeah! I applied =)

  32. S. Stiles says:

    As a recent bride who has come to adore everything SMP (Pre- and post-nuptials I might add,...what can I say, I have a healthy obsession with all things bridal *wink*), I would love the opportunity to devote my "stilish" personality and knowledge of all things social media to the growth and success of the SMP brand. I will be sending my resume via email immediately following this post. I look forward to discussing the Marketing Intern position with you soon!!!

  33. You'll be getting my resume soon:)

  34. Christina Vallin Patry says:

    I SO DO!

    I have been a SMP fan ever since my wedding photographer mentioned your fabulous site a year and a half ago! I am truly excited to hear that SMP is growing beautifully, and I would love to be a part of it!

    I would like to tell you about myself and talk to you about these wonderful opportunities.

    Thank you for posting this fabulous news!

    -Christina

  35. I dont need a job but these photos are SOOOOOOO cute! Your family is just adorable. That photo of your dog on the pillow is just an instant smile! Shih Tsu? A good friend of mine used to raise them.

    Anyway, best of luck finding some fantastic employees! I am a one woman shop and cant wait for the day when I am able to hire some help ;-)

  36. Nicole says:

    I just applied !! I live in Boston.... but have no experience =(. However, I hope I get considered for this awesome opportunity =D.

  37. That is too funny. Burger sits on the tops of pillows just like Chloe! In fact, before we take pics or video of our place we have to refluff all the chair backs because they have a little Burger-sized dent in them. Too funny. They're destined to be best friends!

    xo,
    Sherry (& Burger too)

  38. Congrats! This is a great step forward for you and the blog! I would totally apply if I didn't have a full time job and my own blog to worry about, heh :) I do have a few people in mind that might be good fits who are in Providence and graduated from RISD with me... I'm definitely going to forward it on :)

  39. Sarah says:

    can't wait to see the young house love makeover!

  40. Maya says:

    I love your desk! Mind sharing where you found it? I'm in the process of redecorating my office as well.
    Best of luck with finding the right candidates for the positions. Keep up the awesome work!

  41. chenin says:

    lol. this looks like my workday... Max in his jumper, me with the laptop, Murray (our mutt) looking on... The plight of the working mom, I guess :)

    delightfully,
    Chenin

  42. Abby Larson says:

    Hey guys! Thanks for the sweet words. For those of you that are wondering about the desks, they are AWESOME. Crate and Barrel, of course! Here is the link...

  43. I'm in the Greater Grand Rapids (MI) area and would love this opportunity. Is there an email address I can send my resume to? I'm very computer literate and can be accessible at your convenience.

    Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you!

  44. Lisa says:

    Totally unrelated question - but where did you get your shirt? :)

  45. Amy says:

    OK, you've had 44 (now 45) comments in absolutely no time! This has got to be the most exciting thing ever for you!! Seeing that you're hiring almost made me fall out of my chair! I had to read it a couple times before it sunk in! Too bad I live in Nashville, TN as a graphic designer! While planning my wedding last April (which you'll be receiving photos from), I've become more than slightly obsessed with weddings! This would be a dream job for any girl!

    Good luck with all of the applicants!

  46. Kelly says:

    What a great opportunity with a great website! I am excited to apply.

  47. Kim says:

    We love Chloe!!!!!!!!

  48. sarah jo says:

    Too bad I have a psychology degree! The best I could offer is an analytical analysis of your constituents behavior. :) I can just hear the yawning now! hehe.

  49. Stephanie says:

    Abby, where is your desk chair from? I love it.

  50. nelz says:

    Wow! What a great opportunity! Too bad i'm not in Boston :( I would have loved to be a Creative Intern. I guess keep me in mind if you need a virtual one to fill in at any time :)

  51. Tiffany says:

    Abby- you have lots of great followers! I would love to see some of you live the dream; there are no better potential employees than those who are passionate about what they do :) Good luck to all of you! I would love to have the opp- but I live in Canada! Hopefully somewhere down the road at another time!

    Audrey is simply precious!!!! Adorable!

  52. Raychelle says:

    What excellent opportunities! Your office is amazing btw :)

  53. Jannine Johnson says:

    I love Angela's comment about spending more time on social media site than doing office work....I do the same. It's sad, but oh so true!

  54. Anhelina says:

    What a lovely office, I love how the orange tulips just bring so much color into the room!
    You have the cutest baby girl :)

    Keep up the great site!

  62. Alex Rodriguez says:

    Hi!! I am a big follower of SMP is so trendy. I love weddings, actually I published two local magazines related with weddings, one is a social magazine that feature events, the other one is more about wedding style. As you do, I work from home while I take care of my babies.

    Hello

    Do you know the Australian Film Murials Wedding? I'm so far from having a wedding on my radar but a marketing student (about to graduate) and a dreamer!
    love the site
