#DIY | Flower Pot Baby Shower Gift

Calling all moms, sisters, friends and grandmas! This is a fun and easy project you can do to add a spin to your loved one’s baby shower gift.  Follow along as we take you through a simple step by step process in creating the most one of a kind gift that she is sure to love.

Materials needed:

1)      Jammies (We recommend Jammies Pret-A-Porter) sold at Lil Rapunzel’s. These adorable onesies are perfect for adding color for your “flower pot” and we have sizes ranging from 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12 months, all great for that growing baby.

2)      Ribbon – have fun with this. Feel free to pick a color related to the gender of the baby. You can also keep it simple with a neutral ribbon to create a more subtle look.

3)      Flowers – the only thing we recommend is that you don’t pick a flower that will over power the flower pot. Make sure you choose a flower that will balance it out. We went ahead and picked the Penta’s flower. But you could also pick from the following options too! Feel free to  keep all the flowers the same or you can mix it up so it looks like a real flower garden!

Let’s get started!
Select your onesie
Lay Flat
Fold in half
Fold in half one more time
Begin to roll the onesie up – start at the bottom and and work your way up
Keep the onesie rolled, tie your ribbon around it
Make sure to finish it off with a pretty bow
Place the flower stem in the opening

TA DA! You just finished your first flower pot!!
Jammies Pret-A-Porter Onesie – $17
Available at Lil Rapunzel’s – 561.659.3131

#OOTD: Camo Pants | Styled 2 Ways

When you work with a bunch of fashionable girls who like to snap things up at the store the second they arrive, there are a lot of times where we come to work in the same items! This was the case the other day with Christina and Hallie who both recently purchased the Current/Elliott Drawstring Lounge Trousers in the camo print. Because we all clearly have such different style this was the perfect opportunity to show how to wear these pants 2 different ways!

Christina (pictured on the left) paired her pants with a navy tee tucked in. We’ve officially decided that we are loving the Navy/Camo combo she’s got going on here. What a great way to jazz up a very classic color! Christina completed her look with her favorite pair of TKEES in Cocobutter.

Hallie (pictured on the right) combined a few trends into one outfit. She paired her pants with a “trend of the minute” racer back crop top and a pair of strappy metallic sandals. Birkenstocks (another trend of the minute) would be super cute with this look too!

Both girls kept their jewelry simple – just a few Bourbon & Boweties bangles and sunnies of course!!

A couple of other tips:

• Keep the top simple when you are wearing a print pant. Solids work best but if you are a risk taker/trend setter an easy print would work here too!
• Make sure to balance out your look – if the pant is slouchy you want something a little sleeker on top.
• Choose the correct shoes! Flip flops and flat sandals always work well and cute strappy wedges will dress up the look for evening.

Party Gypsy Style

We were so lucky to have such a great turn out for our Rae Francis and Jewelry by Allegra Trunk show on Wednesday, December 18th. Thank you to everyone who participated and attended! We raised a lot of money to donate to the Pat Reeves Village Shelter – we couldn’t be more proud to be helping such a worthy organization! The food and wine was donated by Gigi’s Tap and Table located here in Palm Beach and DJ Adam Lipson lent a hand and some tunes! Heather Lowenthal of Posh Parties styled the event! Here’s a little picture recap of the evening!!

This week we have the pleasure of hosting a trunk show for two local Palm Beach gals – Christina Coniglio and her design partner Ariel Lilly of Rae Francis and Allegra Fanjul of Jewelry by Allegra!! We love our locals and we jumped at the chance to get these talented designers all to ourselves for this special event! As an added bonus – Heather Lowenthal of Posh Parties is styling the event for us. Adam Lipson will be our guest DJ for the evening, and Gigi’s Tap and Table will be providing our sips and bites! How lucky are we??

We’ll be donating a portion of the proceeds from the evening to the Pat Reeves Village Homeless Shelter to make Welcome Baskets for the people who use the shelter. We’ll also have a donation station set up where guests can donate money directly to purchasing Welcome Basket items. We’ll be creating the baskets post event and delivering them to the shelter!

Gift Guide: Daughters and Besties

We are having a ball “window shopping” for this year’s gift guide. There’s nothing like putting together presents like these for the ones you love. There’s also nothing like unwrapping presents like these. So feel free to forward this link as a helpful reminder to the lovingly clueless family members we all have and love. Just sayin’.

Today, we’re talking about the pillars of our society-our daughters and our best friends! We can’t live without them, so let’s give them some presents they can’t live without either!

First up, our daughters. It is their responsibility to have our style live on and they are bound to do so with some of our picks. This selection is perfect for your favorite beach bums and are bound to result in squeals of delight upon opening! The weekend beach getaway is sold separately.

 

TKEES Sunscreens SPF 30: $50
Fig and Bella Fringe Scarf: $88
Sundry Classic Heart Sweatshirt: $99
Hayden Reis Beach Bud Bikini Bag: $33
Letarte Crochet Short: $141

And now for our besties. If you’re anything like us, these are probably the people you struggle with the most. Always trying to outsmart the other and give the best gift (everyone does that, right?) So this year, we did the work for you and picked out some of the hippest items we have. And maybe if she’s as friendly as we imagine, she’ll  let you borrow them!

 

Anine Bing Jean short: $129
Lolo Manning Coral Reef Clutch: $48
Joie Emari Knit Sweater: $188
Aromaflage Perfume: $65
Essie Nail Polish- California Cool, Blanc: $8 each
Bourbon & Boweties Bangles: $40-48

We know…we’re good. Up next, we have some great gift ideas for the girlfriends (get ready to forward this to your brother) and your hostess!

See ya next time!
