We've long admired Lindsay Longacre and Heather Hoesch for their insane sense of style and approach to design, though it has usually been focused on their incredible weddings. Thus, when we heard that Heather had thrown a baby shower for Lindsay, we only assumed that it would be bananas. But we had no idea just how bananas it would be...basically beginning and ending with the prettiest pink chairs you've ever seen, details that...
I don't think that I really fell in love with Halloween until I started entertaining. While costumes and candy are always fun (I mean, duh), I never realized what a cool design statement an otherwise kind of silly holiday could invoke. Chic black and whites. Clean modern lines. It's kind of a design junkie's dream come true. Which is exactly why I fell so hard for this little celebration crafted to perfection by...
Every November, our family makes a huge batch of cinnamon rolls and delivers them to neighbors to freeze for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning. But this year, we're shaking things up a bit. Because these DIY Cinnamon Roll Kits are TOO much goodness, lovely for holiday gifts, back to school gifts, hostess gifts alike. With easy to print labels to boot! PS...more hostess and holiday kit ideas below.
The best thing about having the opportunity to run SMP Living for the second time around is that I get to spend my days searching for beautiful homes. The deep network of incredible bloggers and designers who are graciously opening their doors to the world is never-ending and I get lost in homes like this one each and every day. And lucky for us, most of them are super sweet and are totally game to share those very homes with us...like the beautiful Andrea Denes over at...

As an interior stylist with two little ones (and one on the way!) Lauren Elizabeth - stylist and face behind House of Hire - is who I want to be when I grow up. She approaches design with such a relaxed and meaningful style that every room in her home feels intentional and totally authentic to her family.

If you've spent any time on Instagram at all, you've probably seen her stunning face glowing back at you with a sense of happiness and health rooted in everything she does. Her name is Hannah Polites and while she's one of Instagram's most beloved stars, she also happens to be a mother to a beautiful little girl and a now wife to a dashing husband. And today - with incredibly imagery by Jess Fontaine and a jaw-dropping design...
While I miss living in Texas more than you can imagine, I will say that a New England holiday season is something special. The cold air, the twinkle lights, the cups of cocoa that are meant to actually warm you from the inside out. It's a little bit of magic. And the crazy talented (and adorably pregnant) Jackie Hempel of Finding Lovely has managed to capture that very magic and transform her own New England home into a...
Hey guys! Justine Celina here! To kick off December, I had the pleasure of attending a wreath making workshop with the lovely and talented Rebecca Dawn Design!

Give me a blue and white color china pattern (at a wedding!?) and I'll give you a happy blogger ANY.DAY. Aside from the gorgeous Malibu backdrop and the fact that the couple chose my favorite tablescape palette ever, you also get a hearty dose of pure, gorgeous, sun-kissed love.

So you're 2 months into planning your wedding and...you kind of hate it. Maybe it's the money. Maybe it's the stress. Maybe it's the fact that you never really wanted a big wedding anyway. Well, today, we're giving you permission to fully play with the idea of eloping. And we're teasing you with the most beautiful San Francisco elopement ever, photographed at City Hall by Anna Jones.

You can feel their undeniable love in these photos...

Throw in some gorgeous florals by The Loved Co. and a stunning design by...
The first teeny tiny wedding we featured was WAY back in 2008. It was famed photographer Elizabeth Messina's own nuptials and in my world it was GAME.CHANGING. Because it illustrated so beautifully just how luxurious and decadent a small wedding could be. That by trimming the guest list, you not only create an intimate, unbelievably special...
