Birthday party for her

Image
Lately I've been going crazy planning my mom's 50th birthday party. Her theme is Gatsby. The Great Gatsby theme parties have been on the rise ever since the movie I believe and even more since Kris Jenner did her birthday party as well. I've always like the theme but let's just say it;'s a bit overwhelming since it's also Prom season. Lol. Being that I am my moms only child of course I want the best and I want everything to be right. The problem is when I plan parties I go all out! My youngest Paw Patrol Pawty to Super Hero and my oldest Super Mario party to Jay-Opoly (Monopoly) it's a lot. I blame pinterest! Pinterest has all the ideas. I normally make everything for my parties from decorations to the cake smh. The Gatsby theme is easy and elegant to pull off. Like I said the dress is a bit hard because it's prom season. My mom is by far my hardest "client". She wants a dress that's a showstopper. She wants to be sexy but yet everythi...

Happy Easter!

Everyone's home eating good today for Easter. I personally feel like Easter may have been the first Holiday were parents decided to dress alike. To dress your kids alike I love Children's Place, Old Navy and Wal-Mart. These stores obviously understand that parents (mom's particularly) loves to dress their children alike and provides the same style in a wider range of sizes. Last time me and my kids took pictures for Easter was 3 years ago. I found their outfits in Wal-Mart. I was so amazed that they had my little one size and my oldest size in the same style! My kids are 6 years apart so I love it when I can shop for them at the same store. I feel like I hit the Jackpot! Of course that's no longer the case but anyways, these are the outfits for the day. :) Edited by: Ashley Houston

Autumn/Winter 19/20

This weeks Blog is looking at the predictions of Autumn/Winter fashion color trends.  These seasons aren't particularly my favorite because they're not bright colorful seasons. However, since it seems at times we're jumping into summer rather than spring wouldn't hurt to think of the fashion trends coming. According to Pantone the fashion I suggested is according to NY's Fashion Week colors for Autumn/Winter.  Autumn is often colors like amber, burnt orange and dark reds like the colors the leaves change to around this season. The pinkish shade I seen on the website was interesting. I personally wear pink all year round since it's my favorite color but never thought for it be considered a color for Autumn/Winter.

Baby Fever!

This week we welcomed a new family member to our family. I've only been blessed to have boys. Which I find extremely hard to shop for. It's no fun shopping for boys. So with our new addition I went overboard as everyone says because it's a girl! Shopping for girls is so much fun! They have a wide range to pick from. So I guess I'll dedicate this blog to the Little Princesses. Growing up where colors determines the gender is no longer the case. I know a lot of people tend to ignore the patterns and colors when they're infants. No matter how hard a mother tries someone will always ask "how old is she?" When she is actually a he! How can you not enjoy shopping for a little girl?
