Well, not only did this beautiful bride get to live my little girl dream, she got to meet her prince at the same exact time. I guess fairy tales really do exist and thank goodness, CLY BY MATTHEW was on hand to provide the perfect photographic proof. And...

I'm all for a grand ballroom affair in the heart of NYC, but drive me 10 miles outside the city to the beauty that is The Catskill Mountain House and that, my friends, is where you'll find my happy place.

Tonight is tree decorating and hot chocolate in the Larson household but after having cup after cup of diluted, bland only semi-chocolatey drinks in hand - we're kicking up the packets of powder with a little bit of wow.

Every other perfect detail? Just the icing...

As a lover of all things neutral, you won't find much red and green in our home during the holidays. Aside from the Christmas tree and garland, my festive approach is a bit more inline with my laid back, coastal casual vibe. So when Palm Beach Lately and The Event Group Design & Decor sent over this chic holiday inspiration—full of fresh eucalyptus, blush and gold—I knew I'd be having a...

When my husband and I found out we were expecting half way through 2016, we immediately had a name brainstorming session. Of course, we had thrown out most-loved names over the years... but most of those ideas definitely changed once I was actually pregnant. Our main goal? To give our baby a unique name that stood out among the rest. 2016 definitely brought on a plethora of creative naming inspiration. Just take it from Nameberry, they're letting us in on...
