Birthday party for her




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 everything is too much she wants to pay or its coming from overseas which in other words will not be here in time. My dress has been stuck in customs for almost a week so I know it'll be impossible to find a dress that she'll get in time. That brings us to Amazon. My mom says everyone is going to get their dress from Amazon so she'll look just like her guests which I agree. We still settled on an Amazon dress. It was extremely hard to get my mom to get a dress but I had to let her know that if she did not find one it will be too late and she will not receive it in time. Only problem is now that we see the dress it doesn't do what she's looking for. :(

These are examples of what she wanted:





These are the examples of what was found on AMAZON:





This is an example of what she settled on. Unfortunately she bought the last one

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?

Is that Nude? Mom's Edition

Image
As I scroll through my social media and talk with my friends and colleagues I realized that every thing is Nude/Beige this year. I prefer color most pf the time but toning things down some is tempting. This week I have been trying to find something to wear to a concert. Like I said while shopping everything seemed to be more neutral. So it gave me an idea of this weeks blog. To mimic this style I found a few items that can be used. Makeup Nude Palette- $5 WalMart                                                                                                          Makeup Nude Palette- $54 Sephora                             ...

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.
