It’s pretty possible that I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a candy fan. Chocolate, yes. Baked goods, yes. Ice cream, absolutely. But candy? Meh. Not so much. The exception to that rule are Cadbury mini eggs. Good grief, what is it with those things? They’re like absolute candy crack. I can’t even have them in …

You wouldn’t know it by the dark as coal skies this morning or the fresh dusting of snow we got overnight, but it’s Easter week! Coincidentally, it’s also my birthday week. As a kid I loved it when Easter fell near my birthday, it was just so much celebration and so much spring all in …
Hi, friends! Happy Sunday! This is the part where I shake my head ruefully and admit that I completely went off the rails in the whole blogging department the last part of the week. I was in Charleston hosting a workshop with my girl Erika which was kind of a whirlwind, and happened to come …
While big Easter dinners were typically how we celebrated as a family when I was a kid, I have to admit that I’ve become a bigger fan of Easter brunch as an adult. Maybe because I’m just a sucker for brunch in general? And the fact that a holiday brunch makes day drinking (you know, …
Happy Monday, everyone! It’s the first Monday of spring, so I’m pretty sure that calls for the brightest, happiest spring-inspired color palette that one ever did see. I think this one fits the bill. I posted this image of these tulips, which was a part of this DIY centerpiece post, on Instagram yesterday, and I …
Hi, friends! Happy Sunday morning to you. I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend! Today I wanted to do something a little different and make a rare weekend appearance to pop in with a little bonus post for you. I’m thinking I might start doing this on Sunday mornings, if it’s something you enjoy. Just …
I feel like St. Patrick’s Day was literally three seconds ago (which I suppose it kind of was) and already it’s time to shift gears and start thinking about Easter. You know what, though? I’m totally ok with that because nothing says spring like Easter! And after the winter so many of us have had, …
This post was sponsored by Valspar. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that so generously help The Sweetest Occasion keep on keepin’ on! My eleventh grade AP American history teacher was hands down one of the coolest teachers I ever had. He was a wildly smart guy, eccentric in the best possible way. He used …
Guys, I’m taking it old school today and sharing a big fat exciting sales alert with you, PSA-style. I am such a huge fan of Kate Spade Saturday, which is why I was totally bummed to hear that the colorful, peppy line would be closing this spring. Currently everything on the site is 50% off …
I’m going to be that annoying person who waxes poetic along the lines of, “I can’t believe March is already half over!” this morning, because seriously. I can’t believe March is already half over. How on earth is it St. Patrick’s Day already tomorrow? While I know most of the big celebrations and parties happened …
Good morning, friends, and happy Friday! Today I am coming at you live from The James hotel in New York where I’ve taken up residence for the next couple of days. I’m here along with a bunch of awesome blogger ladies for a brand summit with Skinnygirl Cocktails, whom I’ll be partnering with throughout the …
An alternate title for this post could be, “Isn’t My Best Friend Super Pretty?” or “That Time I Finally Made a Sequin Shamrock Shirt.” In all seriousness, this is a project I had on my list of things to do last year before St. Patrick’s Day, but then we moved at the beginning of March …
