For those planning a wedding, the Brooklyn Based Wedding Crashers fair is an AWESOME event. It brings together great vendors in a bar. Yes a bar. So already you get the picture that it is cool and different.
This was seriously my favorite wedding fair last year. It is relaxed, very male friendly so definitely bring your fiances, and brings together a great group of people. Including us! We'll be decking out the entry way to the Bell House, where Wedding Crashers will be held, so you can't miss our work. We'll also be doing a talk and generally hanging out all day so come by and say hello! For more information, including details on the after party, click here.
See you there!
Hi all! We were so proud to sponsor "Good Rotations" for a great cause this past weekend, the Cycle for Survival Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Fundraiser. Check out their cute t's below:
The Cycle for Survival is an energetic, fantastic fundraiser done in Equinox gyms with riders raising money by cycling on stationery bikes.

I was thrilled last week when I got a call from my friend Mindy, from Mindy's Meals on Heels. She was asked to be on Good Morning America Health and asked if I would like to help her style her segment? OF COURSE!
It was a simple set-up, and the concept was an at-home spa. We kept it realistic and I brought in items literally from my home. We punched it up with colored tissue paper, ribbon, and some cheery roses for a look that anyone can achieve. It was such a good lesson about how things look on tv, and how you really have NO time on set for set-up. Now that I have the luxury of time to look at this picture, I can see that I should have added more color to that bottom left corner to balance out the right side. In person I swear that this side held it's own bulk, but because it was on a glass pedastool, the camera really doesn't pick it up. Live and learn!
Mindy gives some wonderful, and EASY, suggestions for at-home spa treatments in the segment and also on her blog, so definitely check it out for some simple pampering. To watch the segment, click here!
Have you been looking for the coolest whimsical custom invitations? Well here you go! Swiss Cottage Designs does just that. Check out some of their awesome work:
Freaking adorable, right? I love her clever text copy along with the whimsical, fun design.
Cheeky, playful text, plus a great layout and inspired design? Does it get any better? And the pictures on her website are so well styled. You know I love that. So of course I loved her designs, and I told her so and asked her what her price point was, expecting of course that something this fabulous and custom would probably cost about a million dollars. Each order is custom made for you, so there is no set price, but I was very pleasantly surprised that based on an average price, one could get such great custom design for substantially less than a million dollars. To see more of her fabulous work and to get her number so that you can call her ASAP to do your invitations (or social stationary or corporate stationary), go to Swiss Cottage Designs. By the way, this is not a sponsored post. I just like to connect you to cool vendors who do fabulous things and speak about them enthusiastically :)
