Montana Honeymoon & Homemade Wreaths

“Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures.” ― H. Jackson Browne, Jr.

As we all prepare for the holidays, we’re trying to focus on the big picture, while giving thanks for how fortunate we are.

This weekend, we’re dreaming big, and appreciating all the little things that add up to a beautiful life.

This week we watched Angelina Jolie’s big speech honoring her late mother. Extraordinary.

We loved this little picture of cozy love.

We’re dreaming of big sky country. Not everyone goes to the beach or leaves the country for their honeymoon. And when we stumbled upon this article (where we got that epic featured image above), we began thinking that honeymooning in Montana would be so amazingly romantic. Bison in the wild. Glamping. Skiing and hot springs. What is not to love?

A little style inspiration from a chic lady.

Big parties ahead! We enjoyed this, and just in time for the holidays. NY fashion designer and consummate hostess Lela Rose shares her entertaining tips.

Incorporating a little color for beginners, and how to do it well.

And some big pops of color worthy of a major celebration.

Big day hairstyles. And big deal hairstyles on a little girl.

Big hearts.

And a little housewarming gesture we love.

The Best Camera Apps & Champagne Quotes

“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.”― Oscar Wilde 

This week, it’s all about the best, funniest, most inspiring things the internet had to offer this week.

Here’s our best news: There’s going to be a wedding in the Jeff Cooper family this weekend, and our Hyacinth Wedding Band was featured on fashion website Refinery 29, as one of their picks for unique platinum rings. We’re loving that!

And while we’re on Refinery 29, check out this little trip down memory lane: celebrity couples edition. (This was the best waste of three minutes. We totally forgot almost all of these!)

And the best snapshots of major fashion icons as trick-or-treaters. Adorable!

Do you love phone photography as much as we do? Here are some of the best camera apps. 

The best thing we’re cooking this weekend.

The best ways to have fun hair in a couple of seconds: accessories!

The best Halloween-y engagement shoot. 

And the best champagne quote ever.

We wish you all the best, this lovely weekend.

African Wedding Inspiration and How to make the best chocolate chip cookies

Bargain shoppers, this is our weekend. H&M just launched their online store and it’s cool. This lace dress is adorable, and 100% cotton dresses are hard to come by in fast fashion.

Want some wardrobe inspiration? We were skeptical, but styled like this, Birkenstocks actually look sleek and sophisticated. Navy and white is so crisp  and classic, we love it.

Want to check out some celebrity hairstyles for weddings? Sure you do. Stephanie de Lannoy’s chic twist when she married Luxembourg’s Prince Guillaume incorporated her silver floral silk and tulle veil and a delicate platinum and diamond family tiara. And it was amazing.

We love anything “rings,” and this breakdown of engagement ring trends by city is actually really fun.

We need this cake in our life.

We love Joanna Goddard so darn much. Here’s her guide on “How to do anything.” 

We especially love “How to plan a fun vacation.”

And “How to talk to strangers at parties.”

And, of course, “How to make the best chocolate chip cookies. (And guacamole.)”

African wedding inspiration! Gorgeous, and really unique.S

And finally, a great looking vineyard wedding in New Zealand. Which is where our featured photo comes from, by Andrea Seymour Photography.

Have a delicious, fashionable, romantic weekend!

Jimmy Kimmel Married Molly McNearny

Jimmy Kimmel married Molly McNearny in a star-studded wedding on Saturday at the Ojai Valley Inn in Ojai, California.

How cool is this guest list? Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Matt Damon, Ellen DeGeneres & Portia De Rossi, Howard Stern, Kelly Ripa, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski and Stanley Tucci.

The wedding was planned by prominent wedding planner Mindy Weiss. Have you ever been to her website? It’s fun.

The bride looked amazing with loose waves in her hair and a strapless lace wedding dress. Is Pre-Raphaelite hair back for weddings making a comeback? It looks so lovely the way Ms. McNearny wore it.

And we couldn’t help but notice that Jimmy looked pretty dapper as well.

Best wishes to the happy and stylish couple!

We Love: Solstice 2013 & Summer Style

Yesterday was the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere.) And summer starts today! We’re loving this time of year and we’re excited to make the most of it.

We blogged about Midsummer Night’s Dream Wedding Style, and we’re still interested in everything that captures that magical, dreamy, summery feeling.

We’re feeling braids and ethereal makeup – for weddings and for whenever. Here’s a slideshow of “Midsummer” hair and makeup looks.

This dress from Free People embodies the aesthetic. So does this one, more demurely.

This bridal party is rocking the “Midsummer” style.

Mint-pea pesto has got to be the summery-est pasta you can get. Bonus points for being simple and beautiful.

You may already know our own David Cooper is a cycling fiend. Homemade Chocolate Almond Cherry Energy Bites sound like the ideal pre- or post-gym snack. Not to mention ridiculously easy to make. We love raw food recipes for summer.

A designer’s dream cabin in Japan. That’s what we mean when we say Refined Simplicity!

And the dinner party topic of the weekend is… The 12 tendencies of highly creative people.

Have an elegant, creative, delicious summer weekend!

We Love: Simple Wedding Rings & Simple Living

Zen. The economy. Saving time. Saving the environment. Quality over quantity. Teaching our kids to value relationships and experiences over the material things in life.

There are so many reasons why less is more. This interesting article on the topic has us thinking of ways to scale back and simplify.

On that note, here’s our list of links to make life simpler, better and more fun.

Why buy a wear-once dress? Shabby Apple is such a great resource for bridesmaids dresses they’ll love to wear again.

A cool way to sell your wedding dress, so someone else can enjoy it!

A chic braid. The best hair for a summer wedding with lots of dancing, and eco-friendlier than a headpiece.

White dresses with cutouts and sheer details for the daring summer bride. You could wear every single one of these again.

Or what about a skirt? Options for the bold bride, from ‘The Bold Bride.’

And speaking of simple, here’s how you make the classic Mai Tai, which is actually fresher and more sophisticated than we realized.

Go forth and be simple, whatever that means to you, and have a lovely weekend!
