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.

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...
Cupcakes + Sweet Mascarpone Frosting + Caramelized Figs!?!? Umm. Yep. Count me in. These are not only photographed beautiful (go Natalie) but they also look so absurdly delicious, I'm literally holding my hands down so that I don't rush into the kitchen and make them right now! From Natalie...One of my favorite things about fall is using seasonal ingredients in new ways. These cupcakes are sweetened with...
Next up, one of my personal faves as I have a forever weekspot for anything risotto. So when you add a dash of pumpkin to it, well, entirely new level of yum. Sent to us by Cynthia - reader, talented home cook and fabulous blogger - I am itching to get in the kitchen and whip this one up for my family. From Cynthia ... Risotto is a canvas so versatile and ready to absorbs the flavors of whatever season bounty that's...
First up, a gorgeous Pear and Cranberry Tart that two of our readers (who also happen to be amazing Little Black Book photographers otherwise known as The Youngrens) crafted on a lazy Sunday morning. This is the perfect ending to a simple Fall meal and one that I will most certainly be making in the coming weeks. From, The Youngrens...This sweet and sassy pie is just the right balance of sugar and tart, with the creamy pears mellowing out the lip-smacking cranberries. It's the perfect...

I'm a backyard wedding kind of girl. I think Father of the Bride probably started it all, but since writing this blog for the last nearly 6 years, it's those simple, sweet, all together lovely backyard affairs that always leave the longest lasting smile. And this one, while not a backyard in the traditional sense, is as pretty as pretty comes and just reminds me so much of those intimate, warm, filled with love homegrown affairs that I love so very much. And with photographs by...
Ryan Ray and I are about to have our one year anniversary. We met at Jose's photography workshop nearly a year ago and since then, we've had the sheer pleasure of falling head over heels for his work here on SMP. He's also a pretty cool guy which makes the relationship that much sweeter. So when he sent us this Texas beauty, we did the usual swoon, smile, happy dance...
I love this wedding. I love it. Everything about it. I love the pretty pinks paired with the strong, sort of boy-ish/cool backdrop of the Marvimon. I love the bride's effortless grace. I love the peonies and the handcrafted details and the subtlest of chevron prints sprinkled in here and there, all captured so beautifully by Britt Rene. And I sort of love/hate that it took me twice as...
Whenever I'm hosting a party, it's really important to me that I figure out ways to bring in what is seasonally appropriate. Whether it's sprigs of holly for the Christmas holidays or pumpkins for a Fall celebration, incorporating moments of authenticity in a new way is just really cool. Which is why I love these trick or treat leaves - with fun little games written on the back based on tricks or treats. Supplies: artificial leaves black spray paint dropcloth to paint on scissors...
Ever thought a hollowed out pumpkin could be used for something so lovely? We simply added a dose of white pant to a cleaned up pumpkin, filled it with ice and placed a bottle of sparkling wine inside and we had an insta-centerpiece that made our guests smile from ear to ear. Read on for all of the how-to details! Supplies: large pumpkin clear cylinder vase (slightly shorter and no wider than the pumpkin — large enough to fit ice and a champagne bottle inside) white spray paint...
I had the hardest time putting this wedding together for you today. Why? Because it's TOO beautiful. The soft pretty colors paired with pops of gorgeous. The photographs by KT Merry that are subtle and yet heartbreakingly sweet and lovely. So beautiful that I secretly want to order a few for myself despite the fact that I've never met the bride or groom. And the details. Oh the details. Just so pretty, so organically beautiful. I simply couldn't...
There are few spaces that I love as much as The Foundry on Long Island. It's modern but soulful. It's city but a touch country. It's girl, but boy too. It's all together perfect and I've yet to see a single wedding there that I didn't fall head over heals for. BUT. When you add in a touch of Isabelle Selby Photography, florals by...
Some people don't know that scattered around the country are little groups of wedding vendors that, when brought together to work on the same celebration, magic happens. The kind of magic that can only occur when you have a perfect combination of artistry, thoughtfulness and a total passion for design. True love doesn't hurt either. As is the case with this next beauty. Photographed to heartbreaking perfection by Aaron Delesie...
Here in New England, it's peak apple picking season. In fact, this is the year's busiest day for all of those apple farms that have spent months growing their perfect red beauties. At least according to my friend Kristen. Our family has no less than six big bags of apples sitting on our counter as we speak and aside from making apple butter and pies galore, we thought it might be fun to have an apple picking party. Not in the fields, but in the comfort of our own backyard where we can put all of...
A wedding at Frankies 457 in Brooklyn is always a wedding we can get behind. Good food, easy elegance, wildly gorgeous florals by Poppies & Posies. It's like a dinner party with friends and family only there happens to be a few "I Do's" and a kiss the Bride folded into the mix. Thanks to ...

Features packed with so much inspiration, so much pretty you just want to favorite and pin and kiss each and every image.

This do-it-yourself project that Jess, our resident craft genius came up, with is totally IT. Like the coolest DIY project we've ever seen and one that we've currently got proudly displayed in our home, a perfect space for that morning coffee and a few vintage books. It's a chic herringbone tray complete with a pop of fabulous. And while it may look intimidating, we've sketched it all out for you so that you can see it's actually quite simple. And quite gorgeous.
