Even since my daughter and I watched the Disney Pixar film Coco , I've been dying to style a Dia de Los Muertos or Day of The Dead dinner party! Inspired by the film, I set off to create a colorful and vibrant tablescape, and to design some themed Dia de Los Muertos party   printable invitations and matching printable decor kit for the occasion!

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.

This sophisticated and very grown-up  Spellbinding   Halloween Cocktail Party was styled by our fabulously talented contributor, Dorangela from Two Prince Bakery Theater. The whole New Orleans, Cajun-inspired colors and party details really add a touch of mystery to this party, and with the addition of glitzy skulls, ornate desserts, spirits and potion bottles; it also injects a bit of sparkle and glam to the festivities - perfect for a spooky but super fun All Hallows' Eve bash! ;)

Holiday is a time to get the family around and enjoy the company of our loved ones. At some point during the Holiday season, you're bound to sit down for a meal and find little kids among you. So, how to keep them entertained and amused during the meal without breaking a sweat? And no, your fabulous carving skills may not do the trick here... The answer is to create a special table just for them! Check out the first of three Kids' Holiday Table ideas I styled for the winter issue of  ' Yum Food and Fun for Kids ' magazine - inspired by candy off course! ;)

When I was 10 I asked my mum for a Magical   Princess Party , and dreamed of having one of those cakes where the princess is dressed with a huuuuge gown and her skirt is actually a cake? Anyone over 30 must know what I'm talking about...

Champagne New Year Cake Hey party lovers, are you excited for 2018? I sure am!!  Even though I have high expectations for 2018 and am hoping for a year of prosperity, joy and blessing...I'm not one to really go to town with parties on New Year's Eve, I have to admit.  I think by the time New Year Eve comes 'round, I'm all partied out! 😋 Having said that, we always have nibbles and drinks at our house on the last day of the year. Whether we have company or not. 

This is our first party feature of the year, and what better way to debut then with this stunning winter, Penguin Birthday Party styled by my sweet and mega talented friend Dorangela, from Two Prince Bakery Theater?!  Dorangela used our Cool Igloo Party printables to style her little boy's birthday party, which we also featured in Bird's Party Magazine Holiday Issue .   Below are the amazing details as told by Dorangela, and links of all the fabulous, dedicated and hugely talented vendors involved!

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.

With Mardi Gras 'round the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to share this gorgeous glitzy and glam Masquerade Party with you! It was styled by my dear friend S arah from Sarah Sofia Productions for a Murder Mystery Party , but I think many of the ideas can be used for a Mardi Gras party too. Sarah asked me to design the printable decor and backdrop banners, and I love how everything turned out! Check out the stunning details below as told by Sarah, to inspire your celebrations, whatever they may be!
