Hey lovers, the weeks halfway over.. yay! Just wanted to do a recap of a great event I attended, ‘Vaz Modern Beauty’, where I showcased Sweet & Chic and Bittersweet. My dear friend Jesika came along and helped me with my booth at this event. (She’s magical!)

The event took place at the Society Room in Hartford, CT. There were tons of great vendors, shops, and small businesses from makeup & hair to clothing, liquors, and jewelry. I met some really cool women who also started and maintain their own businesses, which was very inspiring! I gave away my “Reading is Sexy” bookmarks for free & met so many people that I ran out of business cards! Good or Bad thing? lol. All in all it was fun meeting new people and introducing my brand & businesses to new faces!

Candyland Birthday Party Inspiration

My birthday is soon approaching! (2 weeks & 4 days! Yes, I’m one of those annoying people who counts down the days…) I’ve started a tradition of throwing a huge house party every year for my birthday. This year I couldn’t decide between certain themes, so I asked my family, friends, & fb, and thanks to everyone’s opinion I decided to throw a kick ass CANDYLAND party!

For my party I’m not going to focus so much on the characters from the game because I’m turning 24, not 12. I’m mainly pulling inspiration from the bright colors & candies/sweets. A friend of mine suggested watching ‘Katy Perry’s – California Girls’ video & that gave me all the inspiration I needed. (‘Fergie – Fergalicious’ is a good one!)

So can I tell you how much I love this inspiration board?! It’s frkn magical…

I’m so excited to plan and decorate off of this board. I’ll be sharing my ‘planning process’ of my party here, so stay tuned!

Aja’s ‘September’ Release Party & NEW Stickers!

Hey lovers! Last night I attended an album release party for an up & coming singer/songwriter, Aja, & her new EP, “September.” The first 50 ladies were given free gift bags & in each was a new sticker I designed that will be sold in the store very soon!

I love seeing and supporting other woman who are working towards their dreams so I decided to use the quote, “She believed she could, so she did.” It’s one of my FAVORITES because it’s extremely inspiring yet simple.

Of course, I had camera issues so I ended up snapping a few pictures from the party on my phone.

& check out one of the songs from Aja’s new album, called “Breakin Up” here!
