1 item styled various ways , Style

Here is the Forever 21 Model wearing the frugal and fab navy moto jacket that I fell in love with.

I love how she rocks it casually with a pair of jeans and a tee. Moto jackets are so on trend these days so I couldn’t help but add to my collection when I saw the sale on Forever 21. Here I show you how I styled it with 3 different dresses.

For a preppy look, I wore my Sans Souci nautical dress with my Jcrew necklace and shoes. Click here to see the dress, originally bought at Marshalls for just $19.99 styled 5 other ways. And for more inspiration on how to style a striped dress like this one, click here.

These Fergie shoes were worn with a Guess purse and American Rag Cie dress from Macy’s. I loved this dress when I was pregnant. the high low bottom was so cute with a pregnant bump.

I couldn’t believe how these new Forever 21 thong sandals matched this coral dress so perfectly. The dress is by Crystal Candy (bought in Hong Kong) and the tote is Gucci. The outfit without the bag costed me just under $60. It’s so great for a mom on-the-go. You can walk a mile around the city comfortably without anyone knowing you’ve stashed vomit-splattered baby clothes, diapers and formula on you.

Fab Fete: Baby Shower

December 6, 2012
Uncategorized

After much thought, we have decided to opt out of having a baby shower. Not sure of where we’ll be stationed given our pending renovations and knowing things may be crazed during this unstable period, we decided to opt instead for a big party once the baby is born. Perhaps we’ll combine the baby celebration with a housewarming at our place or celebrate the 100th day (a huge Korean cultural celebration).

So here I am revealing my pent up baby shower ideas for a fab fete. Feel free to use them for your own purposes! Here are some ideas for a Sugar and Spice themed baby girl shower.

Encourage guests to design their own onesie for the lucky baby girl and treasure the handmade precious gifts long after the baby shower ends! To stay within color theme, offer patterns and colors that match the baby shower’s decor. This way, when the finished onesies are shown off and pinned around the room, it doesn’t detract from the party palette. The activity is best when there are a variety of fabrics, stencils, puffy paint and other materials to choose from. Make sure non-artistic guests feel confident with the task by offering suggested sayings like “got milk?” that they can simply write in their own handwriting. Stencils, stripes and polka dots are also easy for any average Joe to add on. Ask each guest to initial the butt before taking a photo with their creation so you can forever remember who created what post-party!

Of course the star attraction for a sugar and spice themed party must be the dessert bar. See below for inspiration and here for tips!

Think about featuring baby-sized everything! If it’s a brunch, spicy breads, baby bagels and mini cinnamon rolls for instance. If it’s a pure dessert table, offer cake pops, macarons, min-cupcakes and small spicy snickerdoodles.

Beverages should be in-line with the party colors. Think sugar rimmed pink champagne for the adults and pink lemonade served in baby bottles for the kids. Or for another sweet twist on an adult drink, how about blow-pop martinis?
