Fit for a Princess

You only turn one once!  

December 2012 saw a party fit for my 'royal red Princess of Hearts'!

Family and friends joined us in this most special occasion which had my house transformed into a castle complete with red carpet entrance, royal red draping, gold tassels, red carnations and hearts!

After lunch guests feasted upon royal jelly, macaroons, lollies and many, many cupcakes!  

As you may be getting to know DIY is so much fun for me and I had a royal ball making and decorating almost everything on the sweets buffet, from the royal jelly to the birthday cake!  (Although I can't take credit for the macaroons - I haven't quite mastered them yet!)

I also organised for the kiddies to get involved and had them stick coloured jewels onto their own gold cardboard crowns which saw little princes and princesses dancing around the castle.

Guest were treated to their very own goodie bags which included personalised 'thank you' chocolate bars and personalised 'princess' water bottles made by Memorable Sweets Candy Buffet.  They also made the gorgeous bunting which hung above the buffet and were able to match the graphics to the invitations... I love things to match! 

The Princess wore: Dress by Babycake Vintage and handmade french lace crown custom made by Carnival Designs.
Queen Mummy wore: Zara lace top, Sportsgirl lace skirt, Belle Noel gold and swarovski earrings. Lovisa head piece.

Here's to the first of many birthdays!

Silk Notion

Silk is one of my favourtite fabrics to wear.  

Although it can be expensive to purchase and maintain (i.e. dryclean only), you can be sure it will stay in your wardrobe for years to come.  It is timeless with an understated elegance and makes me feel feminine and sexy.

This stunning dress by Chalice is simply beautiful and one of my favourite silk pieces.  

The soft blush colour means it can be worn day to night whether it's to a garden party, cocktail party or wedding! 

I chose to accessorize with a few luxe jewellery pieces.  

Gold necklace, earrings and bangles by Belle Noel.  Pearl and diamond ring by Bvglari.

Shoes from Zara - a simple point with metal heel detail - love.

Angel Baby

June 2012, and my little angel is christened.

Along with overwhelming emotions of pride, happiness and love came the opportunity to decorate for an event worthy of an angel!

So I popped on my Martha Stewart hat and away I went!  

It was a little crazy how excited I got making tissue paper pom poms, a candy buffet of pink and white lollies, photo display, glass milk bottles with personalised striped straws, together with roses, bubbles, candles and many, many cupcakes!  Let's not forget how I made hubby drape white fabric out on our alfresco to create a marquee with a bird cage centre piece!  

I even made my own pink bath salt favours in glass bottles!  I had way too much fun!

Pink, pink, pink please!  Cliche all the way!

I wore Asos pink sequin dress.  Hubby wore pink Jack London shirt and the angel wore a handmade, vintage style christening dress of cotton and lace from Minoa Boutique complete with bonnet and booties.  In true fashion baby style she then changed into a white Pure Baby dress, handmade knit cardi and handmade lace headband from Carnival Designs.

Full of pink. Full of love.

30 and fabulous!

No not me!... Yet! 

When one of my closest girlfriends announced her '30 and fabulous' party I was a teency bit excited!

Ok, so I don't get out as much as I used to and and a chance to dress up and have a night out with hubby (sans baby) is just what we need now and then.  

Dressed in a black sequin Keepsake dress, Zara shoes and clutch, together with strawberry daiquiri in hand = one happy mamma!

So I stil have 2 years up my sleeve until I hit 30, but I sure felt fabulous, had a fabulous night and partied in a fabulous manner!

Dress available in black or gold from Emma & Eve - Add some sparkle to your life!

NB: When having a night out, try not to think about having to get up early the next morning if you have bubba's. Hehe
