I am madly in love with Elsie Larson of a beautiful mess and red velvet shop. She is, hands down, the Martha Stewart of our generation. Her blog covers everything… DIY projects, recipes (provided by her and her sister Emma who is the baker in the family), decor ideas, hair tutorials…you name it, she does it. She owns quite an amazing vintage shop in Springfield, Missouri that I really want to visit someday. Until then, I will settle for her online shop.

Elsie is an incredible photographer, artist and blogger. You should most definitely checkout her blog… I promise you will find so many awesome tips, tricks and DIYs to have fun with this summer.

Below are some of my favorite things from each category on her blog ‘a beautiful mess’

Beauty


DIY


Outfits

Treats


Decor


By the way, she also provides e-courses of all kinds (baby on the way, blog love, small business and art journal courses just to name a few), for those of of you interested learning new things! I took her course on running a small creative business a few years ago, and it was super informative and worth the money spent!
