Some outtakes from our latest photoshoot for the spring issue of Sweet Paul magazine. Abby Stolfo baked that beautiful rainbow cake (and the rest of the spread, yum!) while I dabbled with egg dying and other fun tutorials. Meg Smith created magic with her beautiful images…. I love working with these talented ladies. All in all, a really egg-cellent day!

Love branding firm Anagrama’s approach of using the color white as the canvas to accentuate Theurel & Thomas patisserie’s colorful macarons…

I’ll admit I’m not much of a camper, but glamping, that is a whole different story. The options at Canopy and Stars are addictive. Give me a yurt that looks like this (pictured above) or this boathouse, and I say, my bags are packed!

These are some outrageous shoe designs. Love the whimsy (especially the Olive Oyl one!), but to actually wear them… hmm… yay or nay?
