A little bit ago, we let you in on a fabulous little partnership between Dove Hair, SMP and the ever fabulous Mark Townsend. A partnership that combined product, pretty and pizzazz for all things hair. We kicked off the pretty hair parade with this...

We are big fans of Kari Herer over here at SMP, and one peek at this beyond stunning Boston Public Library wedding and you'll see why. It's as though each of her images tell the most lovely of stories, and when those stories are surrounding a Bride and Groom as gorgeous as these two? Pure wedding magic happens.

Baby Reed is one lucky little boy. Not only is he blessed with dashing good looks (I dare you to not want to squish those cheeks), he also gets to grow up in one of the loveliest nurseries I've ever come across.

I'm talking about an engagement session so gorgeous it could bring you to tears and give you goosebumps. It's that pretty. On a chilly winter's morning this couple set out for Sullivan's Island to sip hot cocoa on the beach with Kelly Sauer there to capture. The result? Something straight out of e-sesh...

As we part for yet another (hopefully) wedding-filled weekend, I wanted to take a minute to wet your whistle for tomorrow morning. In case you didn't know, Saturday mornings are one of our favorites here on the Little Black Book Blog. Not only do we get to sleep in a little and take in our morning dose of pretty with a side of pajamas, but that dose of pretty comes in the form of a fantastic wedding film. We've got the emotion, you bring the tears. And tomorrow, we're featuring the wedding which...

It has this certain desert je ne sais quoi that pulls lovers of poolside glamour and warm temperatures in by the droves. And Palm Springs also happens to be the most perfect destination for a wedding getaway with a little vacation time mixed in for good measure. From the luxe digs of The Viceroy, comes this gorgeous...

One of the most important things in my life is being able to create a warm, inviting home where delicious food, fresh flowers and total comfort reigns Queen. And yet I work full time, have two babies, try to squeeze in daily workouts, spend time with the hubs... you get the drift. So having super easy, super fast staples on hand is key for me, I'm not above taking little shortcuts that feel special and homemade. Enter...
