The Great Hair Giveaway with Erin Cornia

Ladies, I believe in great hair. It’s powerful. I had sad unpowerful hair throughout high school…and college…okay…and even a little bit after college. One decable after another finally landed me in the middle of Dallas where divine hair intervention (and a lot of humidity) finally granted me long non-split-end happy hair. At the risk of sounding vain I will tell you that one of most daunting parts of moving to Salt Lake last year was the realization that I would need to find a new stylist. Enter Erin Cornia from Lunatic Finge.  In one appointment, she saved me and made me a client for life!   And now she is willing to save you too!

70th Birthday Celebration with Lydia Menzies

I need to recant a statement I made earlier last week. I said, “There are few people I like more in this world then Lydia Menzies from The Party Wagon.”  I now believe what I meant to say was, “There are few people I LOVE more in this world then Lydia Menzies from The Party Wagon.“    In October, she contacted me to create a paper suite for her Mother’s 70th Birthday party!  As I am sure you have gathered by now, I would basically do anything legal to semi-legal for Lydia Menzies.   So with Lydia’s direction,  I whipped up a paper collection in her mother’s favorite color – yellow.  Last week, the photos of the event were featured on Amy Atlas.  If you look closely, you can see my paper here and there accenting this gorgeous event Lydia threw for her mother’s 70th!  See Lydia’s blog The Party Wagon and below for more details and credits.

Vienna’s Valentine Day Party by Loralee Lewis

My funny little Valentine, Vienna, needed a party.   Her new little sister, Georgianna, will be arriving home from The D.R. of Congo shortly and I wanted to do something special for my little U.S.A. Babe before all the new changes came.   This weekend we held Vienna’s V-day party.   She was thrilled and her only stipulation was that boys could not come. (To soften the blow, I had my little gentleman serve drinks.  They found this very important.)   I took inspiration from Vienna’s sweet name and tried to echo small guilded embellishments from the Austrian city throughout the little event.  Here is a peek into her absolutely-girls-only-no-boys-allowed-except-to-serve-drinks-party…

A Vintage Train Birthday with Kate Landers

I love receiving an email from Kate Landers, because a classic party is never far behind.   Not too long ago, Marti Mashburn and Kate, asked me to create a vintage train collection for little Hudson’s 2nd Birthday.   Needless to say, I was more than happy to oblige.  Yesterday, Kate posted some tips and photos from the event on the Layla Grace blog.   Adorable doesn’t seem to cover it.  You can view my entire All Aboard Collection below.    Cake topper by Brittany at Edible Details (love her!).  Photography by Kate Futrell.
