Cocktail Hour: The Candy Girl

3.4.2011

It’s been awhile since i wore a pair of jeans. I am more of a skirts + dresses kind of girl.  At the Evolving  Influence conference during Fashion week we each got to be measured for the new Levis Curve ID and be gifted a pair of jeans.  I was fitted as a Demi Curve, and i love love love them!  Now I am a jeans girl! I even found a way to get all dressed up in them for a dinner party!

outfit:

Sequin Tube Top~Screaming Mimis//Black Denim~Levis Demi Skinny Jeans//Shoes~Lela Rose for Payless

cute lil banner made my roomie Brittany

cake from Martha, home made jewels i learned to make from here

these gold candies I found made the presentation so pretty!  When in the champagne the foil floats to the top and looks ever so pretty!

since it was a dinner party with just girls, we went all out with ladylike touches….here we cut out the first letter of each guest out of magazines and used as place cards. so darling!

Be Green + Lovely tip #3

SHOP LOCALLY!

Yay! Spring has almost arrived!  It is time to take out my vintage bike and ride to the Farmers Markers and fill my basket with local goodies:)

Want to know where a local Farmers Market is near you?  Another way to eat locally would be through a CSA(community-supported agiculture). You can find both through Local Harvest by putting in the city you live in.

Not only does buying local mean the food is more fresh, but you are helping the environment out in a big way.  #1 you are reducing the amount of oil needed to transport food long distances.  #2 supporting nearby farmers strengthens the economy in your own backyard!

Send me a postcard.

When I discovered these postcards on LeSphinx….it made me want to send  little notes of love to my friends all over.  I used to be so good at this, what happened?….anyways, aren’t these amazing? You can purchase some of them here at their online Paper Boutique, hopefully they will keep adding more!!! I’m obsessed!!!!
