Sweetheart's Soiree

The other night I threw a little Valentine's soiree for the wives of some of my husband's co-workers which turned out to be a smashing success! I had such fun decorating and creating a menu {which included loaded potato skins, cucumber sandwiches, chicken poppers and 7 layer taco dip}! The cupcakes pictured {a to-die-for mocha coffee flavor!} were ordered from Betsy of Java Cupcake.

My lovely friend Julia helped me test the photo booth props before the party started! 

 The little photo 'booth' area was created by hanging strips of crepe paper on a rod and a few garlands of sparkling tinsel. The paper lanterns I ordered from Hobby Lobby and added a bit of pizazz by making some stripes and polka dots using pink and gold glitter!

This is a similar outfit to what I put together for the party. Several of my pieces are vintage {like a Kramer of NY necklace from Christie's and rhinestone shoe clips from Packard's Antiques in Alabama} but the Steve Madden shoes, Chanel lip gloss and nail polish combination {Gold sheer glitter over nude Revlon} are the same! See a photo of my original ensemble on my lookbook page.

 I'll tell you more about the photo booth props and decor later! Cheers until then and Happy-Sunday-Before-Before-Valentine's-Day!
