Outfit deets:
* Spense dress (from Ricki's and no longer available).
* Bamboo wedges (old) that are like real sized Barbie shoes and I've worn with a pink skirt in a pretty (tulip) garden post a couple years ago.
* Ardène hat (above) & Giant Tiger stripe hat (below, similar).
* Accessories: J.Crew Bubble necklace & Joe Fresh bangle.
We held my sister's bridal shower at the end of July on one of the hottest days of the summer. A party that was planned for outdoors was quickly moved inside prior to the bride's arrival as we were sweating just setting up some chairs and a tent.
The theme was garden tea party meets Kentucky derby and we asked all the women to wear, 'Elaborate hats,' which was a total hit. I picked up my sister's white sun hat from Ardène and it was eventually decorated with ribbons and bows from all the gifts she opened.
The food consistent of an amazing watermelon tea pot filled with melon balls, finger sandwiches, chic veggies & dip, cheese, crackers, meat and spinach dip. The lemon cupcakes with blueberry icing were a big hit and served on a cake stand I made specifically for the event. To drink, we served a mix of rosé wine, mimosa's, flavoured waters and non-alcoholic punch.
We played many games, including one where I asked the bride trivia questions about her husband-to-be (I already had the answers from him) and when she got the answer wrong, she had to eat three gumballs. She had quite the wad by the time the game was over! I'd love to share some pictures of our afternoon:

I feel like I have some serious writer's block right now. What to talk about... what to talk about...
On Friday I went out for lunch with friends for a birthday celebration.
Breakfast for lunch is always a winner.

Saturday night my girlfriends and I headed to a club where they were having, 'Grind', a once monthly party featuring hip-hop and reggaeton. They had four DJ's mixing and my goal was to dance... so I wore my skate shoes... (ha!)... and dance we did!

There are two days in every week about which we
should not worry.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes
and cares,
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is
tomorrow.
With its possible adversities, Its burdens,
Its large promise and poor performance.
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow’s Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds,
but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This just leaves only one day . . . Today.
Any person
can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity’s -
yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad.
It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday
and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore live but one day at a time.
