{ Featured Party } A Spa Soiree

Are you familiar with the talented ladies from Anders Ruff? They are uber creative, have a super fabulous blog, and an amazing etsy shop . This Spa Soiree was created and styled by Adria Ruff for her daughter Brynne's 9th birthday. What a lucky birthday girl!! This soiree is down right adorable and full of inSPAration ;). I love how Adria removed the labels from store bought items and added her own customized labels and that many of the items were from $1 aisles! Check out the full post including details from Adria here.

Colored Layer Cake

Have you seen the new trend of coordinating the cake to match your events color palette? These cakes are popping up everywhere from weddings to kids birthday parties, and I think they are simply fantastic! . Here are a few I have seen over the last week. Martha Stewart offers up a quick and easy layer cake recipe and frosting instructions here.

Surfing Party Ideas

I know summer is winding down and it's time to start thinking about going back to school, fall parties, and even Halloween { my favorite holiday! } But, I have been collecting ideas for a surfing themed party for some time now and wanted to share them with you. The colors are fantastic and I love the fun in the sun carefree vibe that comes from a surf party.

{ Featured Party } Ballerina Bakery Party

Get ready for a treat! Now that I have a little girl ( yay! ) I have been paying closer attention to all the sweet little girl parties out there. So when I came across this Ballerina Bakeshop party from the creative girls at Icing Designs, I definitely took some notes! My favorite details are the pink ruffle garland, the handmade bakery case, the adorable pink bakery boxes for the girls to take treats home in, and the peppy toppers on the marshmallows from Potter and Butler . You can create your own Ballerina Bakery party with invites and accessories from Icing Designs on Etsy. You can also see more photos and details here and here. Just LOVE it!
