A Shabby Chic Baby Shower

If someone asked me to pick my favorite party theme 9 times out of 10 it would easily be something shabby chic. I’m not sure if it’s the mason jars, twine, baby’s breath or the fact that I grew up living in the country that sways my decision…but I absolutely love it!

Earlier this month we threw a shabby chic baby shower for my best friend who is having a little girl in August. There’s just something about pink and burlap that goes so well together…but I’ll let you be the judge of that 😉

Vera Bradley-Inspired Graduation Party

Hello Friends!

One of my favorite things about blogging is getting to work with companies that I absolutely adore. Last week I was honored to be featured on Vera Bradley’s blog, Inside the Stitch.

 Since it’s graduation time {and I’m all about planning and decorating for parties} they asked me to put together a little party that was inspired by one of their newest patterns for summer called Sierra.

Of course I couldn’t turn down the chance to throw another party…especially one that tends to be a little girly 🙂
