Well. You already know that I’m pretty convinced you should skip fancy Valentine’s Day gifts and go right to the heart of the matter with something sweet and simple. That said, if your Valentine’s Day traditions dictate otherwise, I really couldn’t resist sharing a few gift ideas for dudes. Because, let’s face it. Dudes are …

I have to be honest. All I can think about this week is packing. The lease here on my current digs is up at the end of the month and that means it’s time to move! Again. (If you’re keeping track, this is my eleventh move in six years. Yes. Eleventh.) Of course, I can’t …
Raise your hand if you’re a Pinterest junkie! Yup, I thought so. Personally, I use Pinterest to catalog inspiration for everything from my home to my dinner table to holidays like Valentine’s Day. That said, sometimes I feel like the things I am loving get a bit buried so starting today I am going to be sharing more of the things I …
Well, I’ll be danged. Can you even believe that Valentine’s Day is next week? As in, a week from tomorrow. Wow. Why, hello, mid-February, where did you come from? Naturally I couldn’t let the occasion pass us by without talking about a little Valentine’s Day appropriate fashion. Date night fashion, naturally. This look is super …
This post was sponsored by Minted. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that so generously help keep The Sweetest Occasion rockin’! So here’s a random Tuesday afternoon confession.

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 …
