Celebrating

Inspiration Boards : Superhero Party

Check out these powerful, comic strip style fashions.  They’re sure to give your wardrobe the kick in the ass it needs to rescue it out of its doldrums.

It seems everyone from Phillip Lim to Forever 21 are jumping on the superhero trend which has inspired me to create this themed inspiration board for a superhero Halloween or birthday party.

For a truly super time, invite all the guests to show up as their favorite superhero or comic strip character!

Set up a photo booth and encourage guests to zap a photo of themselves in power poses.  Provide props like capes, eye masks and lightning bolts.   If you want to serve more than desserts, your menu could include things like,  “power pasta,” “strengthening steak,” “flying fajitas” etc.  For more ideas and for all the printable items featured in the collage above, check out wants and wishes!

Fab Kids : Best Bibs

I guess being a mommy does change everything.  My obsessions have turned from necklaces to baby bibs.  Shopping for baby is so much fun – even more fun than shopping for yourself, dare I say!  Everything is so darn cute and in my moms words, “irresistible” which explains why grandma can’t seem to pass by a children’s department without coming home with another present for my little Juliet.

Once you start shopping for a little girl like I have though, you quickly start to bore of the generic styles that are offered in most baby departments.  You know, the pink this, pink that… same is true for baby bib shopping.  Most bibs are colored in your typical boy blue, or girly pink and have cute but overused sayings on them like “I love mommy” or “daddy’s girl.”  They’re fine but being the fashionista that I am, I was looking for something a little more special.  After scouring the world over in search of the best baby bibs, I’ve come up with these fab finds from Etsy.com where I like to shop for unique one-of-a-kind pieces.  Here are some vintage styled ones from Jan and Rachael that I recently bought.  Check out their shop for more handmade goodies.

My little doll seems to love the pink one the most.

The pink, personalized bib shown above, can have your sweetie’s name featured next to the necklace for just $12 by Too Cool For Drool.   That is especially nice if your baby has a unique not-often-found name.  (Apple, or North West for example)  And The Posh Pea Boutique has tons of fab patterns for your little lady to choose from (sample bibs on right).

And if you’re into black and white and/or modern patterns, look no further than these shops. (from left to right, Babiese The Posh Pea Boutique and Coral Tree)

Drool-worthy, huh?
