Old-Young Hollywood Party Invitations

October 12, 2011

(invites made using this printable disguise kit, Urban Scarlet Tape, and glitter paper confetti)

When my husband and I were in college we loved going to theme parties. Gabe would manage to come up with the craziest get ups and it earned major points for him, because I thought his sense of humor was awesome. He still is able to make me laugh harder than anyone I know:)

Now that we have more space in our new home, we aren’t wasting any time with hosting a theme party! Some of our close friends and neighbors are coming dressed as Hollywood characters of past or present:)

Here’s a preview of the invites. Will make sure and share more details soon!

Lookbook: Comfy Cardis and Statement Necklaces

October 10, 2011

When the leaves turn, you know its time to pull out the comfy sweaters and boots:) I have no problem putting on a few cardi’s and pairing it with a snazzy statement necklace (I have a weak spot for statement necklaces). It just makes a fun combo.

How was your weekend? (Btw, Happy Thanksgiving to the Canadian Readers!!) My hubs has the day off for Columbus day (why thank you Christopher), so I won’t be getting much done today;) I’d much rather waste time with him and the kids anyways. Nothing is more delicious than snuggles with this cuddly little one above. Squishy cheeks!

Happy Monday!

Take 3: Handmade Scarves

October 5, 2011

(Scout and Catalogue, Didbug, Bluebirds Fly Boutique)

Scarves are my favorite way to accessorize this fall.

I must confess I have bought 5 scarves in the last few weeks….(!!!) but don’t worry, some are for gifts! 😉

I realized that each of them were either printed, bold colors, or striped. Its what I gravitate to I guess. What colors and prints make a regular appearance in your closet??

Also, little heads up! If you have a small business, I have some fun holiday gift guide news coming up so stay tuned!

Lookbook: Stripes, Polka Dots, and Bold Red Pants

If you saw my last few color or style boards, you might have seen this look coming;)

How was your weekend?

We got to hit up a Greek Festival in Atlanta yesterday. The food alone made for quite a great experience:) Found some gorgeous handmade gifts as well for some fam and friends. Have you ever seen Greek dancers perform in real life (outside of My Big Fat Greek Wedding;))? Well it was a first for me and I loved it! The little ones were the cutest.

P.S. You have until October 8th now to take advantage of the 30% off a regular priced item at Francescas! Just enter code “IHOD” at checkout!

Last week I showed you my love for red and beige, and this week I had to throw polka dots in the mix. When polka dots are an added element to a piece it just makes it complete fun.

Happy Fall Weekend!!
