Summer is upon us, and apart from drinking sangria all day, I'm dreaming about crafting all sorts of fun, colorful and seasonal party accessories, like these custom summer sun hats! Wouldn't they be so cool for a pool or beach party?! I made these for a summer party shoot I styled a few weeks ago (as you probably saw in my Instagram stories ?) and they looked so fab and were so easy to make, that I had to share the DIY tutorial here with you guys!

Much like pineapples , Flamingos have been trending on the party scene for a couple of years now. And I for one, have been totally itching to style a pink flamingo party FOR EVER! Well, last weekend, we got to do just that. I say “we”, because my little girl and I got to plan it together! :) If you follow my snaps (username BirdsParty) you'll have seen all the party prep and sneak peeks of the party itself!

Styling a tented stand has been on my party bucket list since ever! You know, the super cute stands complete with the mandatory awning , that you can use for SO many party themes in summer and beyond?! Like lemonade stands, ice cream stations, drinks stations , circus carnival concession stand... (You name it, and chances are; you can put an awning on it!) So for my latest Coca-Cola partnership , I decided to tick it off my list.

For me, summer is not complete without a fun pool party .  So for our third shoot with  Coca-Cola® , we couldn't pass up the chance get our toes wet! The weather here's been extremely hot, and I also decided to set up a Coke Float station  to also help keep things cool. Literally! ;)

Earlier in the year I created two summer recipes for Yum Food and Fun for Kids Magazine , one of them was this super fun and 'cool' Snow Cone Recipe ! Who doesn't love a bit of flavored ice in a hot summer's day?! It's healthier than ice cream, and you can vary the flavors an colors to suit your party theme - which is just perfect for memorial day coming up!! ;) Recipe below + link to download your FREE party printables to adorn and embellish your snow cone or drinks station!

Hi there, it's me Hani from Haniela's . I'm sorry I've been absent for couple of months, I know I promised I'll be here every month sharing my contributor's posts and  I truly hope you can forgive me for slacking. What I'm really hoping for is that with ice cream I can win you over. What do you say?

For the   Pool Party  I styled last weekend, I wanted to serve some ice cream without the bother of worrying about them melting in the heat etc. So I scoured Pinterest and the web for ideas, and came across loads of interesting  faux ice cream desserts, so I decided to make that instead. Another thing I did NOT want to do was spend my entire day in the kitchen , so I cheated a little and used shop bought chocolate brownie bites! ;)

I styled this really relaxed, impromptu Pool Party last weekend with my kids to celebrate the beginning of our summer! Had soooo much FUN styling, splashing and basically chillaxing with them!! Today I'm sharing the party detail, but I also have a really fun (and rather yummy) tutorial coming your way soon!
