Hi, friends! How’s everyone today? My apologies for being unexpectedly MIA since last week. Behind the scenes over here I’m gearing up for a lot of new things designed to help really make 2015 awesome. I realize that sounds annoying vague, but in reality these first few weeks of the New Year have largely been …
I’ve been working with my girl Erika (you guys have heard me mention her a zillion times) to start the daunting process of rebranding and redesigning The Sweetest Occasion. I mentioned that last week in my 50 Random Things About Me post, but it’s notable because it’s going to be the biggest overhaul I’ve taken on …
It only seems appropriate for the first color palette of the year to center on Marsala, the Pantone Color of the Year 2015. There’s already been a lot of buzz and debate about this color, and I’m sitting firmly on the side of the fence that’s completely confused over this one. For those of you …
If ever there were a seasonal color palette that I absolutely loved, I think this would be that one. I’m outright obsessed with this rich, gorgeous shade of juniper at the moment and when paired with mulberry and midnight blue, it’s just stunning. Plus it feels really festive and merry, don’t you think? Also, I …
With just a week to go until Thanksgiving, it’s time for a classic and traditional Thanksgiving color palette! At least it is in my world, because that’s just how my brain is hard wired. Do normal people think like this? Probably not. But I’m totally ok with that! Today we’re talking deep, rich autumnal shades …
Happy Monday, sweet friends! I hope you had a great weekend and that your week is off to a nice start. I have a seriously busy week coming up, but it’s an exciting one, too! I had some last minute project requests come in last week and I’m so happy about the additional holiday content …
Happy November, friends! You know what’s about to happen here, right? We’re diving head first into the holiday season! As far as I’m concerned, it’s just about time to bust out my Christmas playlists and start decking the halls. Before we get all crazy with all of that, Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away …
As a rule I don’t gravitate toward orange and red colors. The exception to that rule would be in my accessories. Like this awesome black sweater cape paired with a red clutch. Now that, that, I can do. So with today’s color palette I’m embracing rich, saturated autumn-inspired shades of cabernet, pumpkin and cardinal red. …
Hello hello and happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? We spent time at B’s parents’ house in the Adirondacks this weekend helping them get a few things squared away before winter rears her fierce face. While we were there we went to see Gone Girl. I hadn’t read the book, so the movie was …
Mark my words, friends. I have a feeling that chartreuse is about to make a major comeback. I’ve been seeing it pop up here and there in fashion and home decor, but I think it’s about to have a big presence in the world of color. So today I’m here to banish all thoughts of …
Obviously I am loving the fall colors at the moment. Kind of predictable, no? And also. Does anyone know how it got to essentially be October already? It’s almost time for us to start talking about all things Halloween and holidays! Before we get carried away with all that though, I’ve got this week’s color …
You already heard me wax poetic about all things coffee last week, so at the risk of being redundant I just have to say that this week I’m living for my morning cup of coffee. Fall is definitely settling in all around us at the moment. The mornings are increasingly crisp and dark, the sun …
