early february here and there

geez, it's monday again! and it is february! 

are you ready for a new week? i hope you all recovered from last night's super bowl game. can't lie, i cued in just for the half time concert and awesome commercials. it did not disappoint! 

i've got lots to share from last week. i quietly turned older last month. i refused to celebrate but was treated to a fun lunch with girlfriends last thursday. thanks so much to friends who greeted on my birthday and for all the generous gifts. can't thank you all enough! 

we also celebrated chinese new year last friday. all week, my husband got our home ready for 2014, the year of the wooden horse. i don't know the rhyme and reason of feng shui but trust me, it never hurts to follow directions and remedies.

over the weekend, instagram exploded with a new app #waterlogue that got us all obssessed. it turns plain images to watercolor art sketches that really looks like real paintings. your plain images turn into these beautiful paintings and i can't get enough of it!

and also, i'm inviting you all to join KELLY LYDEN, of THE PARTY DRESS and WH HOSTESS and author of the latest STYLISH KIDS' PARTIES book and some of the most talented party stylists and bloggers whom i'll be joining in a PINTEREST and BOOK LAUNCH PARTY this coming Thursday, Feb 6th 8-9 PM CST.

we will be pinning and sharing creative kids party ideas to this PINTEREST BOARD so make sure to follow this board. i will see you there thursday for sure!

about pinterest

i just had to end an already awesome week with a high note. earlier this week, pinterest rolled out their new ABOUT page design and i was thrilled to be a part of it. a few months ago, they contacted me on submitting a few pictures relating to my superhero/star wars board i created to collate all my party inspiration for aston's birthday party last year. they mentioned that they will be revamping their site's design and would love to include real people utilizing pinterest in their daily lives (uhm yeah, i definitely use it everyday!). they will be choosing a few so it wasn't a confirmed deal. 

so, i ended up submitting a couple of pictures my niece ailynne took at the party and it was indeed a pleasant surprise to finally receive an email from them a few weeks ago. then just the other day, i saw the completed amazing page redesign. can't contain myself i just had to share it! 

thanks pinterest! 

if you are planning a superhero or star wars - themed party anytime soon, stop by my board, browse around and re-pin tons of party inspiration!

friday pinning!

this is still a party blog, by the way, in case you're wondering. just needed to interrupt our usual programming to share some of my favorite fall looks especially when we had really nice cool fall weather (finally!) since monday. well, it still gets warm later in the day but i'm just thrilled to bust out my sweaters and scarves when i leave the house early in the morning! 

my style board in pinterest is packed with inspiration and here are a few fall looks i adore. i am loving the tomboy-look with fashion essentials of a luxurious fitted leather jacket, a pair of old worn boyfriend jeans, a well-made all-around coat, great plaid shirts, a sequined top (to add a tiny sparkle), black boots and the perfect oversized tote!
