Macaroons have almost become a wedding party staple these days and we are certainly better for it! These adorable little cookies are cuteness bombs that elevate the celebratory vibe for every setting they find themselves in. A dessert bar favorite for their ability to pack flavor and color into one package, they are just about perfect on their own, but check out the playful ways designers are using them to accessorize moments. Just when you thought they couldn’t get any cuter…they do. This is one trend that continues to inspire!

This may be my favorite with bold and beautiful graphics! What an adorably creative way to incorporate a sweet message and/or your party branding into the sweet.

I’m a big proponent of going as long as possible between shampoos but usually when I’m nearing day 3, and sometimes even day 4, I’ve got to get creative so that everything still looks “day 1″. For most, the battle between dirty hair and good ole’ shampoo is won by grease. When your roots begin to look like they’ve been pomaded, it’s probably time to suds up. But before you throw in the towel, a cute scarf conceals the grease and is oh-so-adorable in the summer with some cut-offs or a maxi!
