If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat , you'd have seen the fab lavender plant growing just outside my studio window. It really thrives in summer, and gathers all the bugs and butterflies around it, which is a pretty sight every time I go in here! Not to mention it smells heavenly, and can be used in sooo many ways around the home, including some popular recipes and cocktails.
Spring's in full bloom, true. But still can't avoid those April showers, so we might as well celebrate them. Because if nothing else, that's when we're more likely to see a pretty rainbow! ;) And who doesn't love rainbows?! The colors are an instant pick me up, and perfect for injecting a little cheer into our seasonal birthdays, baby showers or any other celebration this time of year!
Spring is synonymous with flowers, but also with the humble bumble bee. And it's so heartbreaking to read everywhere that bees are on the verge of extinction :( ( you can read more on this subject here ). But if it's up to us party lovers, bee themed parties and events are here to stay, right?! We ♥ the bumble bees 'round here and this sweet theme is perfect for Spring weddings, showers, luncheons and birthdays of any age!

Honeycomb balls are the new hot trend gracing the pages of the party blogs. You just can't miss them!

And here are my top favs to help inspire your next shindig!
In honor of shark week, we have gathered the funkiest, most JAWsome party ideas for you. Sorry, couldn't help myself ;p I'm all for pink, glitter and frilly 'round here on the blog, but I also have a nature-animal-lover little boy at home, who adores adventure and the wild. And sharks (or anything with sharp teeth for that matter...) are an integral part of that. So for our Bird's Party Magazine Summer Issue , we selected a few sharp-toothed ideas that you can re-create at home! ;) Here are some more:
Emoji rock my world. You could say they make me Emojinal ;p I'm pretty sure they rock yours too, no? Since we did out Emoji fest back in April , I'm seeing more and more FUN party posts and super cool ideas, recipes, crafts and decor popping up EVERYWHERE ( so many, that I had to start a themed Emoji Party Ideas PIN board ). Here are some of my faves.

After all, no self-respecting party bar is complete without pretty libations?! Here are some of my faves, handpicked for their awesome taste but also good look s, 'cause we all know we eat (or drink) with our eyes first. I'm particularly digging all the recipes that contain some sort of herb: thyme, mint, lavender, rosemary ...to make use of my garden bounty this summer! Looks super funky too!!

And we're still making the most of our sunny days by eating and drinking al fresco as much as possible. So bar styling has become a necessity really.

Okay, so some of us are still feeling the chill, but what better way to escape to sunnier climes than with a little Nautical inspired party eye candy ?! I've been nursing a cold since last week (boooo), and am determined to lift my spirits anyway I can, so visualization of all things "summery and hot" totally gets my vote! Besides, I know for a fact, that our Aussie, Brazilian and southern hemisphere party friends will also appreciate the post! ;)
