Fantastic look for Nicole Richie!

I don't know where this photo of Nicole Richie was taken, but what a great look for her! So Jackie O., or Audrey Hepburn. She looks lovely, I am glad to see her evolve away from some of the looks that she used to go for. Gorgeous and grown up, well done...keep it up Nicole!

Breakfast at Tiffany's Bash!.....From Modern Marie!!

Modern Marie's blog has been one of my favorites for months now! She loves all things French, and vintage, and fun! Her blog is full of D.I.Y. projects, french things, fashion, and my favorite part....parties!! Here is a Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired bash that she had for her 18th birthday! Have a look at the adorable details!

The invitations were small boxes painted with Tiffany blue paint (that she customized at Home Depot) and filled with breakfast cereal. (I just love fun and kitchy little details like that) Underneath the cereal was all the party information! All tied up in a neat little bow!

Even the chandelier was dressed for the party!

Tiffany's boxes were stacked down the middle of the table. Fine china and pearl covered candle holders completed the look.

This is one of my favorite parts...she used an old photo frame and filled it with Tiffany's ads to use as a table top. How creative!

Tiffany-tinis! (or pineapple sherbert dyed blue)

Several clear pitchers were filled with all sorts of breakfast cereals!

Let your guests sleep in style like Holly Golightly in their own adorable sleep masks.

The party favors were mix CDs made to look like records. Here are the songs that she included in the mix!

2. Downtown - Petula Clark

3. Moon River - Randy Spendlove

4. Breakfast at Tiffany's - Henry Mancini

5. Bittersweet Faith - Bitter:Sweet

Just Jenn's Virtual Baby Shower!

Check out this idea for a "virtual baby shower" created by Just Jenn, a creative graphic designer with great entertaining ideas and an amazing blog!She had a friend who lived far away and on bed-rest, and her friends were also scattered all over the country. A virtual baby shower was the perfect idea! She had her friend give her a list of 10 friends. She then sent them each a favor box, and then all the "virtual" party guests had to do was send mom-to-be a gift. I love her theory "Nothing is better than free crap in the mail!" The favor boxes had a pink and brown color scheme (she designed the swaddled baby graphic), and each included three cards that were kind of like the "shower games" , as well as a stamped and addressed envelope for the mommy, so that they could send their completed shower games. One card was a fill in the blank "when I'm pregnant I look forward to...." card, the second was a traditional "make all the baby names you can out of the parents' names" card, and finally a regular " advice" card  ( she wrote "get the epidural" as her bit of advice). What a great idea for a baby shower, bridal shower, or even a birthday party! justtjennrants.blogspot.com is FULL of amazing ideas of all kinds....take a look!
