Do you remember the mini Nutella pies we had a couple of lengthy conversations about during the holidays? (Those conversations, in review, basically went on and on about how amazing they are.) With Valentine’s Day coming up, I wanted to put a little twist on that tried and true favorite. So I started thinking about …
There’s a good chance that you’ve noticed it, but shades of teal, turquoise and aquamarine are absolutely my favorite colors in the world. Sometimes I feel like every week I could bring you some new version of blue-green paired with green-blue and to me that would be completely fun. (Although perhaps a touch boring for …
At the time you are reading this, I want you to picture me doing cartwheels. As in literal cartwheels. Probably in a circle around the house. Most likely in excess, pretty much all day long. Today I am so excited to bring you the long overdue redesign of The Sweetest Occasion! As these projects tend …
Happiest Friday, everyone! I hope you’ve all had a spectacular week. As per the usual, I’m not sure where my week went. This weekend is going to be another whirlwind, wrapping up last minute design details and coding for that all-new site design I’ve hinted at a few times over the last month or two. It’s …
It’s Friday, friends, which means we get to talk about pretty things for no good reason other than we want to. Or at least I want to! I swear my online window shopping tendencies seem to know no bounds these days. And I definitely think I’m starting to get the spring itch, because it’s all …
Here’s the thing. As a blogger, I have totally failed you. I went to Alt bound and determined to take no fewer than 1037 photos for you. (No clue where that number came from, it just sounded good.) But see, then I got there and, like usual, the abundance of friends with whom to hug …
Friends, I have hearts on the brain big time this week. You’ve heard me say before that I don’t love the super commercialized version of Valentines Day that I think mention of the holiday brings to mind for most of us. However, I totally love sweet, homemade Valentines Day gestures to show a bit of …
Have you guys heard about Vine? If you haven’t, you absolutely need to check it out. Think of it like Instagram but with short 6 second video clips. You can make stop motion videos or just show off little snippets of your day. Yesterday I posted a video showcasing some of my favorite beauty products and …
This post was sponsored by Party Supplies Now. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that so generously help keep The Sweetest Occasion rockin’! Can we talk about party decor for a minute? Obviously you know I love me some awesome party decorations. The more colorful and festive the better in my book! So today I …
Today’s DIY is one of the simplest things I’ve ever done, but I’m completely in love with these sweet little pipe cleaner heart toppers! I picked up a package of these glittery pipe cleaners at the dollar store while scrounging up extra stocking stuffers over the holidays. They were too cute to not come home. …
While at Alt last week I got to spend time with some pretty awesome roommates. I’m going to be name dropping them a lot in the coming days and telling you how amazing each of them are, you can count on that. In the meantime, I will say simply that I loved getting to meet …
I have to be honest, guys, and admit that I’m really tired this week. Mentally, I’m all kinds of inspired and fired up following Alt Summit last week, but physically I am running pretty close to empty. Long days of work and excitement combined with too little sleep are definitely catching up with me. With …
