Friends, this wedding is one you want to sit down and really get to know. It's layered in the richest shades of blue (those bridesmaids!) as a nod to the oceanside Bacara Resort & Spa setting, and sprinkled with steal-worthy ideas like the mosaic tile place cards.

It never fails, whenever I start to put together a Behind the Blog feature, I instantly feel like I made a new best friend. And that is definitely the case with the gorgeous McKenna Bleu.

Favorite...
You wouldn't be able to tell from the 90-degree weather we're having here in New York, but fall is right around the corner, and to me that means crunchy leaves under my feet, a crispness in the air, and eating delicious apples everyday (not just to keep the doctor away). I've always loved hot apple cider and baked apples, but it's quite possible that one of these...

I had the pleasure of passing through "Big Sky Country" this past spring and it is every bit as spectacular as Tamara Gruner's imagery of this darling day portray it to be. An ideal setting for a dash of rustic, a sprinkle of romance and so much love—Erin and Sean said their I Do's with personal touches sewn in every corner, from the Missoula Mayor officiant to a local microbrew bar. See it all...
I'm of the mindset that summer should be 365 days a year, but unfortunately Mother Nature and I aren't on the same page. Which is why whenever I need a boost of sunshine I turn to Vicki Grafton and her captures from the season. A spontaneous swim paired with sun-kissed scenery, it's a sweet e-sesh that has me believing in an everlasting sunny season - see it all in...

Scroll down to see the ultimate list of cleaning hacks. The Kitchen...

My Friday night ritual involves yoga pants, my couch and TLC's "Say Yes to The Dress." And though I've been a loyal fan since it started (I've seen every episode multiple times—Atlanta, too), I still can get confused about the difference between a Fit & Flare, Trumpet and Mermaid silhouettes. So to make things easier on...
