It has been almost two weeks since Turkey day and we are still enjoying leftovers (perhaps because we cooked a 32lb bird for 4 people)! Can it be that a Christmas party and feast are just three weeks away......??

Art Basel Miami Beach is in it's final day today and is all the rage....It is the place to be seen and the place to party! Not only is there a chic crowd but there is also amazing contemporary art. This is one event you don't want to miss as reported by PLUM TV.....

I am in awe of Leandor Erlich's Swimming Pool installations not to mention some of his other work. We all love pool parties; however, wouldn't it be neat to have a cocktail party around this pool?!

Fall is by far my favorite season and I am crazy about Halloween and pumpkins! So, not only do I have pumpkins on my front stoop but I also love decorating my dinner table with pumpkins, gourds, and Fall flowers. Doesn't this make you want to come over....?

If there is one event I would love to be a part of it is the Aspen Film Fest! Not only am I a huge fan of cinema but I also think Aspen is simply dreamy. Take a look at the schedule: It promises to be an exciting event, no doubt.

With 9 nieces and nephews there is always bound to be a birthday party. So, when I stumbled across the most divine and fun sandwiches (Funky Lunch), I thought they would be the perfect healthy treat for the next children's party!

I am off to a wedding in Maine and couldn't be more excited; however, I have to remember to pack my Solemates because the ceremony is being held on the lawn overlooking the dreamy Camden harbor. Seriously, if you haven't purchased Solemates for your high heels yet....you must do so. Even better hand them out as a party or wedding favor!

I just love this creative invitation by AIGA NY. Not only is the presentation so unique (have you ever thought of putting an invite on a waiter's shirt before?!) but the text also perfectly describes the evening....."Chefs and designers. Both create delights for the senses. Both make delicious things in different ways. Both arrange every experience for the optimum of piquancy."

What could be better on a humid summer day than a refreshing drink?! I love the idea of serving a hard lemonade, sangria, or mojito in these fabulous mason jars with stylish die-cut lids at my next pool party!

My husband is obsessed with just about anything cherry....So to celebrate his upcoming birthday, I believe it is only fitting to indulge in the most divine "Everything Cherry" Sprinkles Cupcakes. Not only are they totally delicious but they have fabulous packaging and presentation as well. In need of a house warming gift never to be forgotten,the perfect dessert for your child's birthday party, or better yet a cupcake truck at your next event....Sprinkles Cupcakes is your solution!!

Can you believe it is almost August? Where has the summer gone? I came across this image of what to me is the perfect picnic...fresh bread, yummy cheese, organic fruit, and an ice cold drink! So, while I wish I was off to the beach to enjoy my picnic with my pup, we are happily heading off to the park...

How do you create a corporate event where your most sought after clients will want to participate? Whether your objective is to engage new prospective clients, solidify relationships with key existing clients, or build brand awareness? And how do you plan the perfect off-site/incentive trip for your employees? We found an entertaining article in Fast Company which has 5 great pointers to a successful offsite!!

We recently came across this article in the Financial Times, "Edible and Elegant", and we couldn't agree more! Fresh veggies are just as beautiful as any flower!! Which also leads us to believe...why not also use a bowl of bright red tomatoes or green apples as the centerpiece for your dinner table instead of your typical floral arrangement?

We came across some patriotic inspiration from Martha Stewart. Happy almost 4th of July everyone!!

We absolutely loved this image when we stumbled upon it. If only everyone could ride their bikes around town!

We hope all of you Daddy's have a wonderful weekend. And for those of you who have yet to buy a card.....how about these fabulous ones from Egg Press????

With all of this rain comes absolutely gorgeous flowers!! Why not throw a dinner party and decorate your table with color....

How much fun would it be to have an old fashion soda bar at your next party??? Not only will you be adding color to spice up your decor but you will also be adding some fizz!

It's graduation time and Summer is upon us! We recently stumbled across the perfect graduation treats on Bakerella. Congratulations to the class of 2009 and enjoy those Reese's! 

Today is my niece Ilona's second birthday!! Where does the time go? In any event, I love this graphic by SeeSaw Designs (which also recently turned 2)! SeeSaw is a graphic design and letterpress studio which we absolutely adore. From brand identity, to packaging, to print, and wedding invitations their designs are terrific! 

Happy 2nd Birthday to the both of you!!! 

We all are trying to be GREEN these days just like Kermit! So, when we stumbled across Paperless Post, where you can create fantastic custom online invitations, we were thrilled. Say goodbye to the old evite and send a more personal, formal, and stylish invitation with Paperless Post...... 

We are at that stage in life when it is babies, babies, and more babies which means a lot of baby showers! Of course the mommy-to-be is the center of attention but there are so many wonderful themes to choose from: an all white shower for those who are keeping the baby’s sex a surprise,  a toy story shower to help fill up the baby’s first toy chest, a bedtime story to begin a collection of children’s books, or even nursery time to help decorate the baby’s room. We love Nini & Loli for gift ideas. What a fun event to plan.......

Save the Dates, Invitations, Menu Cards, Welcome booklets: Every little piece of collateral is crucial to an event. Choosing your colors, selecting a theme, deciding which font best suites your style, and tying all of the elements together is so much fun. And speaking of Elements, we are huge fans of B.T. Elements.

If there is one thing we have, it is a sweet tooth! So, when we stumbled upon what looks to us like the most amazing dessert tables, we felt we had to share the work of Amy Atlas. What is a party without dessert??

Colorful dresses are the perfect excuse for a trunk show and a party. What could be better than wine and shopping?! Please check out CPC designs to design a dress of your own or to find out about a trunk show near you!! We promise it will be the perfect party....

 We came across this sign on Etsy Shop yesterday.....Need we say more!!
