SMP Welcomes Our Advertisers + A GIVEAWAY!

April is getting close to being over, which means that spring should be in full swing any day now. To put a little extra spring in your step this weekend, SMP would like to announce our newest advertisers for the month and share a little bit about each of them. We even have a few giveaways stashed away down below. The more the merrier, right? So welcome to the SMP Family, Advertisers! We’re excited to have you on board!



First up is Ann Taylor, who has a whole-lotta prettiness to showcase in their Summer 2011 collections. With Wedding Gowns, Bridesmaid Dresses, Party Dresses, Shoes, and a new Petites line, our biggest dilemma is where to look first! Which is a good dilemma to have.  Wedding dresses are a much bigger focus for them this summer, and each of their new gowns are totally different in styling, neckline and fabric, so there is pretty much something for everyone! And since they are all under $1000, they are a fashion-steal!!

Ann Taylor’s selection of bridesmaid dresses are also quite darling and have a large range of fabrics as well as some bright new colors for those summer weddings. And aren’t you just obsessed with that lace party dress? Love. So make sure to check out Ann Taylor’s wedding lineup and see all the greatness they have to offer!
