When it come to Holiday entertaining, it's always a great idea to serve a big-batch punch or signature cocktail that your guests can get stuck into straight away. Something that involves little effort, and maximum satisfaction is my motto. So for my Silver & Blue Cocktail and Appetizers party I shared earlier in the week, I did just that. Serving up a batch cocktail like this means you can prep it in advance and just forget about it, which in turn leaves you free to mingle and enjoy the party! Something we tend to forget sometimes at parties we host ourselves (sound familiar?) 😉
There's nothing I love more during the Christmas Holidays than to entertain family and friends! But if you dread at the thought of hosting a Holiday Party, fear not! We have put together some easy but stylish tips, tricks and recipes for a Christmas Holidays Cocktail & Appetizers Party that will help you look like the hostess with the mostess, without breaking a sweat! 😉

Tiramisu is one of my all time favorite desserts. I come from an Italian background, so there's no surprise there ;) But because autumn rhymes with pumpkin and cinnamon errything , I decided to add a little twist to my classic recipe. I say classic, but really it's far from it, 'cause for my usual Tiramisu I use cinnamon cookies instead of the traditional ladyfingers. I adore cinnamon just a much as pumpkins. And coffee. So it was a no-brainer, really!

Man, I love a good party photo booth, don't you?! Especially if it's easy to put together ;) Don't get me wrong, I totally adore those beautifully crafted DIY photo booths full of intricate paper flowers or balloon backdrops we see all over Pinterest . But in reality, for my own party photo booths, I tend to go less OTT and opt for a more low-key version.
As promised, we've added another cool party recipe video to our YouTube channel this week, and it's a FANG-tastic Halloween Vampire Chocolate Bark !!

So today we're sharing some quick & easy Halloween party table & decor ideas that anyone can pull off, and a super fab FLASH SALE to help you style a spooktacular bash!!
Confession time: Despite my love of parties, I never go OTT on costumes for Halloween. And I hate those shop-bought "monstrosities" costumes that you only wear once. But I DO like dressing the part for any party or celebration. So I tend to opt for some funky tee-shirts, crazy tights, makeup or a little black dress ( like in this post ). And almost every time, I reach our for animal ear headbands to complete the look (the mean girls "I'm a mouse, duh!" phrase comes to mind...).
Happy Friday, party lovers! This week has been intense with thunderstorms and internet issues for us...but at least we're not in the path of tornado Matthew, so we're counting our blessings and sparing thoughts and prayers for those touched by the freak weather.
Okay, so black electrical tape has become one of my fav go-to crafty materials lately. You may have seen the striped boxes I create for my office here ? Well, I was so inspired, that I decided to spook-up my Halloween party balloons using black electrical tape! They are perfect as party decorations, but also make fun photo booths or even as part of a funky costume.
Happy Friday, party lovers! :) Today we're bringing you the final part of our Woodland Birthday Party series on our YouTube channel ! We're showing you some quick and easy DIY ideas for styling the kids table and making it that much more special for your little ones! :)
Fall is the perfect season for a woodland themed birthday party, full of cute little forest animals and tasty autumnal treats. So, for our NEW woodland themed printables collection we decided to style a cookies & milk party to celebrate. AND, we're sharing it all on a video below to help give you some cool party ideas and inspiration to re-create the look at home!
Toffee apples take me right back to childhood. I remember walking past the sweet stands selling them at carnivals and country fairs, and I always pestered my mom to buy them. I totally favored these over cotton candy every time! And autumn is the perfect time to make these delicious, crunchy toffee apples at home. Forget bobbing for apples, toffee apples is where it's at! ;) Oh, and did I mention it's super easy too? I love them even more now!
Usually I hate it when summer ends, but this year summer has been so intense, that I really welcomed Fall with open arms! Plus, it's another great opportunity to get back in the kitchen and bake some treats, without fear of putting the oven on.
Balloons have always had a special place in my heart, even before they were "trendy". I can't imagine a party without them. They're inexpensive and add instant color and a structural element to any party scene, what's not to love?! Nowadays, you see the most exquisite creations and arrangement for weddings, birthdays, photo booths...
Sometimes a girl just can't find the right outfit, am I right? Be it for a birthday party, dinner date or Halloween costume...finding that one piece you had in mind to complete your outfit, can sometimes be challenging. This is where knowing how to whip up a quick and easy elasticated party skirt can save the day! And for those of you who are "allergic" to sewing (like me, at times...), fear not! It's a reeeeeally simple tutorial, pinky promise ;)
Sometimes less is more. This sentence springs to mind with today's post from my little nephew Miguel's 1st birthday! Miguel lives in Brazil with my brother and sister in law, and although I wasn't present for the festivities, I helped to design the jungle birthday printables for his 1st birthday party, which is a huge honor for me! :) Here are the fabulous party photos styled and taken by Miguel's mom , who is not a professional party planner nor party blogger!
I always love starting my week sharing gorgeous parties from our customers and friends, so I'm super excited to share this Cat in The Hat inspired birthday party with you! Not only it's an AMAZING party with tons of DIY and handmade decorations (totally my cup of tea), but it has some incredible must-see details like clever food ideas to serve at the party, themed games, activities and tons of party fun for you to get inspired by! Oh, and the inspired printable we designed for this party are coming to the shop this week. Double celebrations!! ;)
We're all immersed in back to school and experiencing major organisation vibes, so I thought it would be a great time to share with you my DIY home office makeover update! I've been sharing peeks here and there on Instagram and Snapchat since last summer (!) and although it's far from finished (I'm a perfectionist, what can I say...), there have been some major DIYs, painting and decorating going on, that really are helping me enjoy my work space tons more!
