As a self-admitted jewelry addict, I'm pretty much in LOVE with JewelMint. The free-to-join members-only jewelry club makes luxury accessories totally accessible-and totally affordable! It all starts with a fun style quiz (think, which designer duds would you rock off the runway?!) and once they've pegged your fashion personality...

I'm just going to start out by telling you that I am 100%, totally head over heels in love with this elegant Perth soiree, but you should know... that's a total understatement. Because the way I am feeling for this gorgeous wedding is seriously beyond words, because, well. It's just that amazing. A black-tie affair set against a stunning Caversham House backdrop with beautiful blooms by...
Hot.air.balloons. They must be the absolute most magnificent and beautiful way of air travel and when their bright colors are the backdrop to two darling lovebirds as they celebrate their engagement, the photos from Sequins and Candy Photography are utterly irresistible. Speaking of irresistible things, take a gander at those...
I'm pretty sure I could go on-and-on all day about how much I LOVE this Victoria wedding, like how insanely cute the bride + groom are and how every detail was personal and perfect...but I'll let you see it all yourself! After finding Starling Lane Winery and it's amazing old wooden buildings, the rustic and elegant undertone for the day was set and the rest of the sweet details began to fall into place. Family + friends crafted...
It is one of the greatest gifts for bloggers like me to open up a wedding so filled with the fun-loving-goodness and happiness as this beauty from Victoria Sprung Photography. I found myself giggling out loud at some of the great images of these guests as they got their groove on to the sounds of Emily of Toast & Jam at the wonderfully colorful...
It's bound to be a beautiful Monday when the amazingly talented Wendy Laurel is involved and this family-centered Maui wedding simply couldn't be any prettier. Keeping things low-key and intimate, this bride + groom (along with their four children) said "I Do" on a private estate with a traditional Hawaiian ceremony. Stunning florals from Dellables and an (almost) too-pretty-to-eat...
When it comes to serious crushes, it doesn't get much bigger than the one I have for these two adorable lovebirds and their sweet-as-can-be Houston e-session. And, trust me, one look at their fun-filled day captured by Carlea J Photography and you will most surely agree. Set against the crazy cool backdrop that is The Orange Show Monument, it's a...
Anything that's themed "Southern Chic" and I'm already skipping like a school girl giddy with excitement. Then I saw this A Big To Do Event with its gorgeous Tulip flowers and a menu featuring my favorite mac 'n' cheese by Affairs to Remember and it's official: I'm Sold! Feel the full effect in the full gallery by...
The bride's radiant smile is ear to ear, and that's exactly how I feel about this wedding at Pond Pavilion at Equinox Resort & Spa. I get choked up when the father of the bride sees his daughter for the first time; I am obsessed with the furry four-legged ceremony participant, and I love, love, LOVE the tablescape combinations! Who'd ever think that rocks in water could be so romantic? Many thanks to ...
The groom pronounced his wife "a planner" and we (the girls of SMP) found a kindred spirit. We love a well planned wedding, especially one SO beautiful you could curl up with it for days and days, so when the planner bride teamed up with Cedarwood Weddings to create a vintage, romantic soiree, well let's just say there have been a few days of wedding cuddling on this side of the computer screen, all made possible by...
A Groom that literally sweeps his ballet-slipper wearing Bride off her feet for their first walk as Mr. & Mrs. is a good egg in my book. A really good egg. Romantic comedy worthy, if I may say. So worthy that it's just one little example of many in this gorgeous wedding captured by Stacy Jacobsen Photography of how this couple's love for each other shines through all the gorgeous details - and they are gorgeous. Lights...
Fact. Engagement sessions are awesome. Beyond awesome. Especially when that engagement session is a seriously stunning Palm Coast shoot with two adorable lovebirds and a sweet picnic in a wooded wonderland... that's awesome times one million. Add in the fab stylings and images of Hey, I love you Photography and a gallery literally overflowing with one heartwarming moment after another and, well. Say hello to an...
There's nothing like waking up to beautiful wedding inspiration to really get you in a good mood. And with the beauty that this wedding is bringing, I'm pretty sure you're just about guaranteed to have a fabulous day! Each and every detail flows together so seamlessly, it's no wonder we have Ang Weddings and Events to thank for all this pretty.
Did I save the best for last? A girl never kisses and tells. But what I can say is that this just might be the icing on the FABULOUS cake that was today. And our first ever Fall Recipe Contest. From Rosie Alyea of Sweetapolita and submitted by Rebecca Hollis, this next and final recipe is chocolate, it's marshmallow and it's toweringly high which means that for...
There's this little pizza place in Charlestown, MA that makes what I consider to be one of the world's best pizza. Complete with roasted figs, balsamic jam, gorgonzola, prosciutto, and oh my yum. I've moved away from that lovely restaurant though so while I can't get my hands on that pizza plate of goodness, I do think that this next little gem is going to fit the bill...and then some. A beautiful (and simple)...
If a recipe has Butternut Squash in the title, you can pretty much bank on me cooking it, eating it & licking my plate embarassingly clean. And this one from Kathryn of Dramatic Pancake just happens to layer in pancetta and fontina cheese, so you KNOW I've already made it. Eaten it. And licked my plate embarassingly clean. Now it's your turn. Run, don't walk. Butternut Squash, Broccolini and Pancetta Crostata with Fontina...
If you need a little something sweet to go with your Pumpkin Latte, this next Fall Inspired Recipe is definitely going to win your heart. Crafted by the blogger behind this deliciously gorgeous blog (who I am now officially captain of her fan club), this is easy, yummy, perfectly Fall goodness. From Tutti Dolce...This Pumpkin-Chocolate Swirl Bundt Cake is a fabulous fall dessert! I added a rich devil's food chocolate swirl to my...
This is me being totally honest. If you've ever wondered how we at SMP pump out so much swoon worthy content each week, look no further. Coffee, my friends. Lattes in particular. I'm partial to a skinny vanilla though I know Erin likes hers stronger with a double shot or two of something akin to speed. So when these Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Liz & Ryan came through our inbox, well, we knew it would sky rocket to the top of our recipe...
I am a soup and sandwich junkie. Grilled Cheese and Tomato being at the very top of my list. But after I saw this next little number, I thought that my childhood fave just might be getting a run for its money. Plus, it's insanely simple which means that you can actually make this with easy to find ingredients and enjoy it on a daily (and I mean daily) basis.
CRANBERRY HAM SANDWICHES with SPICED PUMPKIN SOUP

I have this newfound romance that you should all know about. Kale. The leafy green goodness that although I was scared of for nearly three decades, has turned out to be one of the great loves of my life. So when Kristi from Saucy Pants sent this little number in, well, I knew heaven was sent. From Kristi...There is nothing that makes me think of fall more than a bowl of hot stew! Once the leaves start falling off, the cravings...
