Pretty Little Cakes

I decided to bake a cake for a bridal shower last weekend. White was the main color and I did not want to fall into the typical vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. Thus, I found this absolutely delicious recipe for a banana cake! Instead of using the cream cheese frosting, I went for vanilla and sprinkled on white chocolate shavings that I made. I ventured to good ol' Martha Stewart for inspiration on something decorative to put on top and came across pine needles and pine cones. Brilliant for winter! Thanks Martha!

Something Sweet

Readers, I must share something amazing with you. Apple Cheddar Scones. Yep, they are delicious. I came across this recipe as I was loyally skimming through Smitten Kitchen's long list of tasty foods. As soon as I saw this recipe I jumped on it, and I've been hooked ever since. I encourage you to take a Sunday morning to relax, bake some warm scones, and snuggle in. After all, winter is the season for baking!

Theodora Vintage

I would like to introduce Theodora Vintage to you those of you who have yet to encounter this collection of adorable vintage clothes. My two darling friends, Sasha of Black n' Gold a la Mode, and Taryn of Style Phenomenon, have teamed up to create their own online vintage clothing store. They have such creative taste, and do an amazing job of adding modern flare to vintage pieces. Check out their shop on Etsy, stat. You will not be disappointed!

Internship: DIY

Summer, over at Grey Likes Weddings, is such an inspiration! And I have been so pleased to intern for her. It's great! Lauren and I put together another DIY for the site...Feather Christmas Trees. So fun! Check out the post here. And while you're at it, you should sneak over to her other amazing sites, Baby and Nesting. You will not be disappointed.

Wedding: Chloe & Mark

I discovered a lovely photographer by the name of Emily Johnston Anderson the other day. She recently posted this gorgeous wedding. I absolutely love the entire wedding shoot, but the very first photo of the bride has become my favorite. Way to go, EJA Photography! Check out her blog to see the rest!

Let me introduce you...

If you are unfamiliar with the store Oeuf, let me take a moment to enlighten you. They carry some of the most adorable and sweet children's furniture, clothing, goodies, etc. And, as if their goods aren't cute all on their own, Oeuf throws in a darling child in a fantastic surrounding, that just takes the cake. Why couldn't I have things like this growing up??

Internship

So, I have been interning with Summer over at GreyLikesWeddings and she literally does everything! You should also check out her Nesting and Baby sites...she's amazing! Anyway, Lauren, the other intern, and I have taken on the task of Grey's DIY projects. Super fun, I know. We created and shot this project. Go take a look, we hope to inspire you!
