Wedding Shoes To Die For

Happy Friday, my lovely readers!  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.

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.

these glittery gems are from Kate Spade...

these, of course,  are Christian Louboutin

Halloween: Martha Stewart Style

I'm just getting into the Halloween spirit and jut thought I'd share some fun decorating and treat ideas from the lovely Martha Stewart.  Her site is full of fun, mostly easy :), and super creative ideas for decorating and throwing a party.  Here are some my favorites but hope over to her site for lots more treats and details!

This super-cute tablecloth is made out of layered paper tablecloths and crepe paper!

I'm loving the stair decals and mice one are sure to spook!

Candy wreath....really simple to do!

I love the silver pumpkins with a touch of orange! Hum,  I wonder why:)?

what a cute and simple mini candy bar..perfect for a kids party!

Another great treat for a kids or grown-up party!

This is probably my favorite...love these colors together!

Your kids will have a ball decorating these balloons...it's also a great party activity!  These were mu girls' favorite...wonder if the donuts had anything to do with it!

Butterbeer for Halloween

Labor day makes the official end of summer....while I am sad to see summer go, I am excited by what the Fall will bring.  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.

This year, I thought I'd include this recipe for Butterbeer 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.

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.......

Color, lots of color......On The Chandeliers!

It's a rainy Tuesday here but I thought I'd brighten your day with some color.  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!

Wedding Wednesday: Nature's Inspiration

Sometimes nature's beauty is so simple and so eloquent that no words are needed.  It inspires and challenges us to be creative in a whole new way.  While this would not work for a real wedding, I am completely in awe of the beauty of this wedding shoot.

Flowering Preppy Totes

Genius! How cool is this?  If you're thinking of a preppy inspired party these totes are a great alternative to vases.    Nowadays, you can find these totes everywhere and they are relatively inexpensive which means they can also serve as great favors for your guests.  This was used for a rehearsal dinner featured on Sinppet and Ink.
