Fab Fetes: My Candy Bar Round-Up

As a follow-up to my earlier post where I blogged about my fashion freebie, a turquoise scarf that I planned to wear at a work event, here is the event photo.  For Lafayette 148’s spring collection which featured turquoise and salmon colored outfits, I created a dessert table to match.  It featured branded rice-krispy treats, coral colored rock candy sticks, turquoise wraped chocolate balls, a teal and coral cupcake tower, teal M&Ms and more.  Check it out!

The rented damask linens are from Cloth Connection.  They perfectly matched my step and repeat.  (And my dress for that matter!  Can you believe this dress is from my high school days?) hah I can’t believe I still fit into it.   And I bet you can’t believe I still have it!

The black bling plates are from Michael’s and I find a hundred uses for them. Candy was from Candy Warehouse.  Cupcakes and custom rice krispy treats are from a local Long Island bakery called My Cookie Jar.

Next up is an orange themed dessert bar that was inspired from St. John’s orange spring fashions.  Again, the linens are from cloth connection, cupcakes from My Cookie Jar and this time, the candy was purchased at our mall’s candy shop. You should’ve seen the cashier’s face when I showed up at the register holding 12 bags of orange/peach candies.

The next and last post to this candy bar themed entry is a fun prom party candy bar, also created for work.  Since it was a party geared mainly towards teens and since the event focused on various multi-colored fashions, I designed a candy bar in vibrant rainbow hues.

Using the same damask linen, bling plates, and step and repeat, I added some branding, fashion (with the cute Kate Spade bow heels), and bright pops of color all over.  The colorful, multi-colored candy sticks, chocolates and candies all came from candywarehouse.com and served to attract passerbys who couldn’t resist the lure.  Here, one of my models poses after the fashion show.

Aren’t the models cute??  They were awesome and we were all thrilled that they agreed to volunteer their time to benefit the charity partner LICADD.

Architectural Digest Show 2011

The Architectural Digest Home Design show in NYC this year was connected to Diffa, a tabletop decor design show that I blogged about in 3 of my prior entries.  Yes, I said 3 of my prior blog entries because there simply was so much inspiration that I had to break up the multitude of pictures into more than one entry.   I attended both with my savvy fiancee who found us a great groupon deal.  And now you can see what we saw!

Check out all my favorite seating options.

How cool would this be at your dream poolside patio?

And isn’t this Camelia-printed chair so elegant and so Chanel?

Totally inspired, I couldn’t help but dreaming of my next home makeover.  It seems I’m constantly in makeover mode. And this chandelier totally caught my eye.  What a modern take!  You know I love chandeliers!

Here are few more of my favorite things.

I’m loving this brand Boca Do Lobo.  They have the most interesting mix of modern whimsical.

Below is a shot of my favorite kitchen.  I see my dream kitchen looking similar (without the yellow).

Every kitchen should have a nook this fabulous!

This kitchen picture came straight out of a catalog.  I love the chandeliers in the kitchen.  That is a must.  And you can’t see it well here but it featured a beautiful grey/white damask backsplash.  LOVE!

As you can see, the Show covered everything including home furnishings, accessories, art & antiques, kitchen and bath products, flooring, fabric, lighting, outdoor products and more.  Did anything interest you?
