Last Event in August

I am soooooo excited to share with you all the fun projects that I have been working on to fulfill a successful event this weekend! My really good friend trusted me with planning her daughter's FIRST birthday party. I am so honored and happy to have been given this opportunity and I know everything is going to come out great.

Here's a little sneak peek of what I have been working on!

Stay tuned for the full blog post on this event!

Haul: Loft, H&M, Forever 21

It had been a while since I last went shopping for myself. I honestly cannot remember the last time I shopped for so many fashion items. Anywho, last weekend I went on a mini getaway to Napa, CA and had the best time relaxing and enjoying the scenery. On my way back home, I stopped by the premium outlets that they had there in Napa and then proceeded to go to the mall afterwards. Below are details and photos of everything I picked up!

LOFT:

These two shirts below were "BOGO" so I picked up the coral color and the plum color. I thought it was perfect for the fall.

I also picked up this white sheer tank top because it is perfect for the Summer and would look really cute with a sweater or cardigan over it in the Fall.

H&M:

As you all previously saw on my blog, it was my little cousin's birthday (Lego Party), so I picked up this cute little outfit from H&M for him.

While waiting in the checkout line, I fell into the store's marketing scheme!! I picked up this pack of socks because...well you can never have too many!

I LOVEEE loafers and since my current black ones are getting worn out, I picked these cute ones up. Black goes with everything, so I'm glad I was able to find them in my size!

Forever 21:

One of my favorite shirts that I picked up was this "boxed" style top. The pattern/style is sooo cute and it is perfect to dress up or dress down. 

The last stripped shirt that I bought (I promise! lol). I was eye-ing this top while I was shopping and decided I should just get it. I am trying to break out of my "comfort zone" in clothing styles and although this is a simple black & white stripped long sleeve, it will guide me towards purchasing colored pants to pair it with! 

I own 1 pair of purple jeans since I was in high school and have never ONCE worn them!!! I want to but never had a top for them lol now I do!

How would I ever be able to leave this shirt behind? I am currently in the hunt for a burgundy cardigan to pair it with this top for the Fall/Winter. 

Thumbs up for Frenchiesss!

 

Lastly, I picked up a few pair of jeans. I love the feel of these jeans, even though they only last me about 6-12 mo.! (Top Secret: They're only $7!)

Lets Build a Lego Party

At last, I get to share with you all the latest party that I had been working on!

Below is the cake table, decorated with colorful balloons and a detailed banner. Oh! and let's not forget about the Lego ninja pinata.

Now on to the details:

The utensils were placed in this cube created by using various sized legos. Cute touch to the simplicity of displaying utensils!

The centerpieces were created by using the same technique as the utensil holder, except we added a number 6 (for the age) and these cute cutouts of lego heads!

Cake table details:

We purchased these gift bags from our local craft store (lucky for us, they all came in one pack). We cut out 6 circles to place on each bag to mimic a lego piece. Lastly, we added a small tag that said "Thanks!" onto the handle of the bag.

We found these cute tins at our local craft store and decided we would fill them with lego candy and draw expressive faces on them!

They turned out to be a hit!

Lastly, the cake!

It was designed with no specific theme, just general lego. White cake with strawberry custard filling inside (if I may add)!

Sneak Peek: Lego's are Cool

I am super excited for the next couple of events that I will be preping for! Here's a sneak peek of the purchases made for the lego themed birthday party! I seriously cannot wait to show you all the cute ideas that I am coming up with (because it is REALLY difficult to find Lego party supplies).

Please stay tuned and share any ideas you may have!

Here He, Here He!

You are invited to the pinkest party of your life!

Finally, I am able to showcase all of the hard work that has gone into this Pink Princess party for my beautiful niece, Andrea!

Below is an image of a princess piggy bank that I purchased at TJ Maxx. I thought it was so cute and perfect for the theme given that it is wearing a crown AND pink bow!

This next centerpiece, I created myself. I picked up the letter "A", glitter glue, ribbon, styrofoam, and flowers at a local craft store. 

As long as it sparkled and was pink, it was perfect for this event!

Lastly, for the centerpieces, I picked up this castle at Michaels and painted it myself. Of course I had to add some glitter to it as well (:

Moving on to the dessert/cake table:

The chandelier I purchased on clearance at Michaels. It was really easy to make and fit the princess theme perfectly!

Also, the candy jars were purchase miscellaneously throughout the years, but filling them with pink treats add the right touch!

 

Pinata Time!!!!!

How adorable is this castle pinata???

The final touch to this party was this adorable banner (made by me!), hanging over the lunch buffet!

I seriously had the most amazing time putting this event together for my little princess! I cannot wait to continue sharing with you all my next event!

Welcome August

 

August is finally here and for me, it is filled with plenty of events and fun adventures with family and friends! I have really enjoyed sharing with you all the events that I have taken place in helping decorate and host throughout the month of July. 

Lucky for me, it does not end there! On Sunday is the highly anticipated PRINCESS PARTY for my beautiful niece. Followed by an Owl themed 1st birthday party/Baptism and a Lego theme 6th Birthday party for my cousin!!! So many fun, crafty events ahead and I cannot wait to share them with you. 

Lastly, I am working on getting a Youtube channel up to make these tutorials much easier to understand, as you all will be able to watch each step closely.

Thanks for all the support and Happy Birthday to all of the August babies!!
