Good morning, everyone! To kick off the week I wanted to share a quick recap of my long weekend in New York City and a few highlights of our whirlwind trip. We had a 6AM flight on Thursday morning, which required setting my alarm for 3:30. I believe this redefines an “early start” to the …
When I saw Yolanda and Ben’s wedding on Polka Dot Bride yesterday I fell instantly in love. You know by now that I’ve been a little obsessed with tea parties lately and this couple actually arranged for a little tea party for their guests while they had photos taken following the ceremony.

I’m going to be traveling for the rest of the week on behalf of Smock so things might be a little quieter than usual around here. If you’re in New York City, stop by Judy Paulen Designs at Bloomingdale’s today between 4 and 8:30 for our one-day only trunk show event. I’ll also be at …

With Mardi Gras on the brain, I thought I’d share a few of these gorgeous masks from Lady In the Tower. These exquisite works of art are the definition of drama. They are elaborate, over the top and loaded with incredible attention to details from the sequins to the jewels to the abundance of feathers. …
When I saw this pretty spring garden party designed by the talented lady behind imprintables, I knew I had to share – it’s like a breath of fresh air in the midst of what is starting to feel like an impossibly long, cold winter. While this party was designed to celebrate a Christening, I think …
I’m going to switch things up a little bit this morning and share a few photos I found over the weekend while we were working on packing for the upcoming move to our new house. I took these photographs in 2000 on my first SLR, a little Fuji 35mm, and printed them in the darkroom …
I was delighted when Paloma’s Nest owner and designer Caroline Colóm Vásquez emailed me to share the exciting news about the beautifully redesigned Paloma’s Nest website launching today where you can browse through the full collection of handcrafted pieces, all of which are perfect for weddings, celebrations and gift-giving. The site offers streamlined ordering, special offers, and …
Good morning, friends! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a very happy Valentine’s Day. To kick the week off I thought I’d start the morning with something pretty and share some of the lovely pink details that have been catching my eye lately. Sure, pink is girly and feminine, but it can also …

We’re officially going to start the massive project of getting packed and organized as it appears we’ll be moving into our new home within …
