Well, I am learning the ins and outs of WordPress the new format that my blog is on, so it has taken me awhile to start blogging again. But I have officially made the move and as of this week will be blogging from the new site. Bear with me as I am still learning all the features on WordPress! You my readers, need not do anything if you already subscribe to the Madly Stylish blog. If you do not, this might be the perfect time to do so. It ensures that you will not miss any post! So spread the word, tell your friends!<br />
<br />
While I am sad to leave my original blog, I'm excited by how far we have come and all the new adventures that await us in this new format. I must thank you all, my readers, for staying the course and look forward to seeing you on the new blog. Till then, I leave you with this!<br />

But I thought I'd brighten your day and take you back to the magical days of summer with an Under the Sea themed birthday party I did two weeks ago. Loved working on this sweet party for an even sweeter little girl who loves The Little Mermaid and thereby inspired the theme. I loved the colors...the white, sand, sea foam green and light turquoise created a magical, airy, beach feel without being too "kitchy". I made the starfish wands as party favors for the girls. The got to make "pearl" necklaces from pearlized bubble gum and princess bracelets which they also took home as favors.

Well, no worries, I am bringing you decor, games, and snacks that you can use for your class parties. Today's post will feature games the kids can play in class.<br />
Tomorrow will be fun and healthy snacks; Friday will be decor!<br />
<br />
Here are some ideas....<br />
<br />
<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Candy Corn Guessing Games</span></i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2vvzmqAIA0DxhVFPCnZzMl5l7XXNubBfr1xKhkbtspPkIdoW2_MfP3K_7SV79ehnmmpSe_vwQePsx1tTnowOkoNjYjnYg45G6mzIdaqZdadyYpMsRdYLyauIFh9ca8UY3F7pZT6dCjc/s1600/candy+corn+jars-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2vvzmqAIA0DxhVFPCnZzMl5l7XXNubBfr1xKhkbtspPkIdoW2_MfP3K_7SV79ehnmmpSe_vwQePsx1tTnowOkoNjYjnYg45G6mzIdaqZdadyYpMsRdYLyauIFh9ca8UY3F7pZT6dCjc/s400/candy+corn+jars-4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><br />
</span></i></b><br />
This is an all time favorite...how many candy corns are in the jar? Shake it, roll it around, and hope you guess right! This is super easy.........find a clear jar and fill it with candy corn. Empty the jar out into a bowl and count the candy corn., refill the jar with the counted candy corn. The child who guesses the closest number wins the jar and get to take it home. A plastic jar is best for little hands!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ghost Busters</span></i></b><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">I found this game a little while ago while surfing the net and can't remember where but I thought it would be a fun game. This is a relay race game that gets the kids moving! Make sure to check with your child's teacher to see if you can play this has you will need a little running room. </span></div></td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Unfold and lay out a single sheet of tissue on a table. Place the balloon in the center of the tissue wrapping paper.Create balloon ghosts. You'll need small balloons (like water balloons) and white tissue wrapping paper or large white paper napkins. Blow up an entire bag of balloons.</div>Gather the tissue around the balloon and tie a ribbon around the base of the balloon to create a head and body of a ghost.<br />
Line up two chairs so that the children can burst their ghosts. Place all the ghosts you created in a large box or tub about 30 feet from where the kids' chairs are. Then create a "dead ghost" box for each team. You can place them where you like, but make sure that the distance between this box and where the "live ghost" box is the same for each team.<br />
Divide the players into two teams. Each team lines up behind the respective chairs. Then you start the relay race.<br />
The first player runs to grab a ghost from the box. He or she must run back to the chair and burst the ghost by sitting on it.<br />
After the player has burst the ghost, the next player takes the ghost and puts it in the team's box, then runs to get his or her ghost. He or she brings it back to the chair and bursts it. This continues until all of the ghosts are burst.<br />
The team who bursts the most ghosts wins the race!<br />

It does mean however, that something has to take a back seat and in this case, it's my blog. But today I had to bring you this baby shower worth writing about. I love the newsprint, vintage theme and how nicely it was carried throughout, the dessert table, and, of course, the various shades of grey that were used. You know I love grey!<br />
<br />
This shower was thrown for the co-owner of <a href="http://www.laylagrayce.com/">Layla Grayce</a>, which is filled with beautiful items for your home, great gifts, and lots more! If you're looking for something unique, be sure to check them out. Here are some pics from the shower. Styled by <a href="http://sarawestbrookdesigns.com/">Sara Westbrook Designs, </a>you'll find lots of inspiration if you're looking to throw a baby shower, whether it's a boy or girl!!<br />

Things are a little out of sync here as I am busy working on my new website. Did I tell you I'm getting a new website :) ??? Yes, I am getting a new website and beyond thrilled!!! This process has given me a new appreciation for the sites that I love. It is hard work!!!...and I'm not even doing the technical or design part. I'm just providing text and pictures. But still, I must approve the logo, the design, the color palette, the fonts used, etc. Anyway, I digress...I will have a separate post on the process of creating a new website. <br />
<br />
Right now, I'm taking a break to bring you some fabulous shoes that you can rock on your wedding day. Take a look, and I think you'll agree!! Which would you wear? Although, I don't think you need to be a bride to wear these.<br />

I've got a new website in the works, lots of parties to work on, and Halloween is around the corner. I have to say that I was never a fan of Halloween until I met my husband. I had no notion of the holiday until I was 10, when we moved to the United States. My poor parents had no idea what all this celebration was about and could not understand why you'd dress in scary costumes and go around begging for candy! So needless to say, there was not much Halloween partying going on in our house. My husband was the opposite! Halloween was an all out celebration at his house. His mom made costumes for him and his three brothers. I mean all out handmade, super creative costumes...you should see the pictures. What's more even his parents dressed up too. So when we had kids my husband was super excited for Halloween and I was well, not really. Fast forward 12 years later, and I get it. My girls are all trying to decide what they want to be, what kind of candy we'll give and they'll get. Whose house to avoid because "they don't give the good stuff out"! We've got a lot to do! We also have a circle dinner with our neighbors before taking the kids out to trick or treat. <br />
<br />
This year, I thought I'd include this recipe for <a href="http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/heather_bailey/2009/07/butterbeer_recipe.html">Butterbeer</a> that I found while perusing Pinterest. What else is knew:)? Such a simple recipe and how cute does that look! Those "little brooms" fit right in with your Halloween decor. <br />
<br />
If you like ginger beer, cream soda, and butterscotch ice cream you're in for a treat. If not, perfect time to try something new. Let me know what you think.......<br />

I am so crushing on these colorful chandeliers. If you've got an old chandelier that you are a little tired of, then this is a great way to dress it up. I would love one of these in my girls' bathroom. So I am on the hunt at my local Goodwill and Thrift shops to see if I can find just the right chandelier to go paint happy on!<br />

I'm so fighting the end of summer......I can't believe the girls start school in less than two weeks. We have had such a fun summer, although I'd be telling a lie if I didn't say there is a part of me (ok a big part) that is so looking forward to dropping them off to school!! But still, there are a few more lazy days of summer and I'm determined to enjoy every last bit of it. <br />
<br />
So to keep me in my summer state of mind, I'm sharing with you a popsicle made for the grown-ups and perfect for a summer evening or day!!<br />
<br />
You can find the recipe <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1ntDrG/www.endlesssimmer.com/2011/08/03/endless-poptails-white-sangria-poptail/">here</a>.<br />

I apologize for the silence on the blog. But as summer winds down, we squeezed in a family vacation to the Berkshires and VT. Not too mention a website redesign (yes, we are getting a make-over but that's for another post) and several events have been keeping me busy. Since I missed yesterday's post, I decided to give you a Bat Mitzvah feature today. <br />
<br />
When I stumbled o this equestrian themed Bat Mitzvah on <a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/2011/05/attending-a-bat-mitzvah-to-remember.html">The Martha Blog</a> I was truly impressed. It is truly a reflection of the young lady who wanted green glitter and took an active roll in planning it with her mother. I love the fresh take on white and green. This is definitely a high-end mitzvah celebration, but I do think there are lots of element here that you can use that won't break the bank. Read on and I'll tell you how!<br />

</tbody></table><div>So what elements of this party can you do on a budget you're asking??? Well, here are some ideas. The fabric is an excellent one. Fabric can cost as little or as much as you'd like. A place like <a href="http://www.joann.com/joann/home/home.jsp?topnavlink=true">Jo-Ann Fabrics</a> offers lots of choices at a reasonable price. The candy centerpieces are a great DIY project. <a href="http://www.michaels.com/">Michaels</a> or <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/">Hobby Lobby</a> are great places to get vases, flower foam, ribbon, glitter, etc at a great price. The candy for the centerpieces and for the candy bar can be bought online at places like the <a href="http://www.candywarehouse.com/">Candy Warehouse</a>. Lastly, those feed bags are an easy DIY project, enlist the help of a friend or family member who can sew and see what you come up with! <br />

<br />
<br />
Over the past two months I have had more and more request for Bar and Bat Mitzvah ideas and features. In response to this, I have decided to dedicate Fridays to Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. But you've got to do some work to do too! I'm trying to decide on the name for these posts: Bar Friday or Raising the Bar. I'll let you, my readers, decide!<br />
<br />
The male Bar Mitzvah and the female Bat Mitzvah are both coming of age rituals in the Jewish faith. In the Jewish religion, when children reach the age of thirteen, they are responsible for their actions. Once someone has completed the Bar or Bat Mitzvah, they gain the responsibilities of an adult Jew under Jewish law. Of course, they are prepared for this by going to Temple, Hebrew school and studying the Torah. <br />
<br />
So these Friday posts will be dedicated to the fabulous party that takes place after the religious ceremony. Here you'll find the latest trends like pre-Mitzvah photo shoots and kicking it up a notch with GOBOs, color and decor themes, and entertainment pizzazz. We'll also feature lots of eye candy with real stylish Bar and Bat Mitzvahs features. So sit back, relax and grab yourself a drink, Fridays will never be the same. Even if you are not planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, these details can transfer to other celebrations.....Sweet Sixteens, Quincenaras, 21st Birthday Party, etc.<br />
<br />
So today I'm kicking it off with a very cool lacrosse club inspired Bar Mitzvah by Party Perfect. It's always harder to design a really cool boy's party but I think this one hit the jackpot. The lacrosse theme was nicely woven into the modern lounge feel without being overwhelming or cheesy. Take a look! If you've got a lax fanatic, this might do it.<br />

The bride and groom can relax, the guests are ready to mingle and everyone is just ready to party. <br />
<br />
Cocktail hour brings lots of tasty treats and often, a signature drink. I love these min fish tacos and mini tequila shots.....the presentation is to die for! The straws go through the cork which help prevent spilling and looks fabulous at the same time. The little fish tacos sit atop a lime, infusing a little lime flavor. For a wedding or any event, remember, it's these little details that make all the difference! <br />

I have been itching to see this since I learned of Dylan Lauren engagement! Why???!!!<br />
<br />
Well, my readers, Dylan Lauren is Ralph Lauren's daughter. Yes, THE Ralph Lauren! So, of course, I was just waiting with baited breath to see what he designed for his daughter to wear on one of the most important occasions of her life. Well, here is a look at the dress. You'll have to wait for the August issue of VOGUE for more.<br />

The American ceremony was held the next day with the bride wearing a traditional wedding dress and the groom in a tux. The reception food was a great mix of fusion cuisine and those amazing florals were created by <a href="http://branchingoutevents.com/">Branching Out Floral & Event Design</a>. I love how the separate wedding cakes reflected the style and colors of the traditional Nigerian ceremony and American one. You can tell that this was truly a wedding that appreciated and respected each culture; an essential ingredient when planning a wedding with cultural and ethnic traditions.<br />
