Soiree :: Fashion Show Themed Baby Shower

I'll be sharing the baby shower we hosted for our adorable friend Payal tomorrow, but first, the fabulous invites.  As the fashionista in our group of friends, we decided to throw her a fashion/brand launch themed shower.  The brand, the nickname she gave her adorable bump.  Inspired by a Chanel invite for fashion week, we created these invites complete with VIP passes, social media hash tags, and a request for books in leiu of cards.  We created these invites using A7 half moon enclosures  and envelopes from Paper-Source.

Transparent Clutch

Inspired by Paris Fashion Week, this clutch is a stunner!  The best part making one for yourself is insanely easy!  I can't wait to try this DIY clutch makeover from Honestly WTF.

You'll need: a clear rectangular hinged box from The Container Store, a pretty knob from Anthropologie, a pair of pliers or a wrench, a heavy duty wire cutter, a drill & a pointed drill bit.

Directions: You’ll start by drilling a hole at the top of the plastic box. Use a drill bit that is one size larger than the diameter of the bolt on the knob, otherwise the plastic might crack. Open the lid and slowly drill a hole in the center of the box with very light pressure. Please wear protective eyewear and use caution! Once the hole is drilled, use wire cutters to trim about an inch off the bolt. You’ll notice that your knob comes with two sets of nuts and washers. Remove one set with your wrench or pliers. Push the knob through the hole of the box and replace the washer and nut. Tighten & voila you're done!

Kate Spade Fall/Winter 2012

Loving these looks from Kate Spade fall/winter 2012. The frilly tutu and Pardon My French shirt has my name written all over it.  Loving the bright and vibrant colors with neon touches.

And a quick shout-out to Ashly from Lil Blue Boo.  I read her story,  watched her shave off those beautiful locks, and I was beyond inspired.  She is amazing, fighting a hard battle but still choosing to find the joy in everything.  Today I will find the joy in everything, and I hope you do to.  To contribute to Ashley's cause visit Team Ashley Auction.
