swanky soirees and more

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! happy monday to you all! 

i am still busy preparing for the superhero birthday party for our little guy and it's taking so much of my time. we are also travelling at the end of the week so i hope to get everything almost done and just take some time off away and enjoy with the family. 

so today, i'd like to start the week featuring some of the most amazing soirees i spied lately either in facebook, pinterest or in my blog roll. all unique and beautifully presented, they are just inspiring and i'm bookmarking each for future references.

and so much goodness, loveliness, adorable-ness (is that even a word?) here.......

• a sweet darling lilly pulitzer-inspired birthday soiree
• a match made in heaven ~ the southern living magazine collection for ballard designs
• don't miss this cascading beauty of poms and a tutorial
• who does not like bubbles? a homemade recipe and special blowers
• neon's all the rage now and why not a neon wedding photoshoot? 

i hope your monday is off to a great start. i am off to celebrate a special mother's day tea at my son's school today and i'm excited to spend this memorable moment with him!

custom tote

i'm sure you've seen and heard about longchamp's le pliage tote that comes in all delicious colors. made of  nylon canvas with PVC interior lining, it is water-resistant. it's also collapsible making it the perfect travel tote. the le pliage tote for me i think is a must-have in your handbag wardrobe. it has served me well for my travels and certainly not short in style. it has the classic non-fuss shape and that's what i love about it. oh by the way, want to add a monogram or name and customize it with your favorite colors? you can customize your own!

this is what i ordered almost 5 years ago when our son was born. meant to be a diaper bag, i picked the biggest size with the longest handles (to easy carry over the shoulder) and chose the light and dark blue combo with our son's name on it. after all these years and miles of travelling, i am happy to report that it still holds up pretty well. a very durable tote, perfect for travelling!
