Flat Sandals Under $70!

Now that spring is officially here I can finally let my toes breathe!  Since it is rare that a pair of  sandals last me more than one season (I am very hard on shoes) I am always looking for shoes that won't break the bank.  Here is a roundup of some of my favorite flat sandals- all under $70!

A Fiesta Themed Bridal Shower: Part 2

For Caroline's shower I used an assortment of Mexican inspired vases, tequila bottles, and ceramic pots to hold the crepe paper flowers.   I ordered an assortment of flowers from Amols in San Antonio (amazing place for fiesta goods) and made the rest of the flowers out of colorful card stock.   

The adorable little bride with her sombrero veil on!

We brought a few packs of mustaches for photo ops

Thanks to everyone who came to the shower!

A Fiesta Themed Bridal Shower: Part 1

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hosting a bridal shower with three of my best friends.  We decided on a fiesta theme for Caroline's shower and wanted it to have a very laid back feel.  We chose Chez Guevara as the location for its whimsical charm and delicious food.  Instead of creating a custom dinner we allowed guest to order off of the full menu.  This worked really well for us, but I do not recommend for groups over 30.  Creating a custom menu narrows down choices and speeds up the ordering process.  We had the tables pre-set with all of the essentials (salsa, queso and pitchers of margaritas) so the guests could start digging in right away!  


We ordered a plain two-tiered strawberry cake
 from Sugar Buzz Bakers & added the decor ourselves.  
Sugar Buzz cakes are AMAZING!! The Mexican crepe
paper flowers were ordered from Amols in San Antonio.

I made this cake topper by stringing pom pom balls
with a needle and thread and attaching to two
bamboo sticks.

Striped straws from Shop Sweet Lulus margaritas.
I actually forgot these in my car :(

We used a long table to seat everyone and brought in
our own cream linens to set it apart from the other
restaurant tables.



Check back tomorrow for more party pics!

Label to Watch: MSGM

MSGM is an Italian label whose traditional pieces have the perfect balance of edge and femininity. The tailoring, the colors, the styling is absolute perfection! This is a bold claim, but if I was sentenced to wear one label forever I would hope it was MSGM.  I am so in love with their 2012 pre-fall collection that I just had to share it with you.

Have a great weekend!
