Party on Wayne

Inspired by THIS recent post from the Glitter Guide and by a bridal shower that I am throwing for my girlfriend, Nicole, I decided to create a DIY party backdrop inspiration board. These backdrops just make me happy and best of all, you can make these beauties on the cheap!

Don't you wanna go party your face off now!? It gets you in the mood!

Vixen Fashion Blog Launch Party || Quality Social

I had such a great time at the Vixen Fashion Blog Launch Party on Wednesday at Quality Social in downtown San Diego! It is the first Vixen pop-up boutique event that I have been to and it did not disappoint. There were local clothing and jewelry vendors, a live art show, fashion show, yummy food, even yummier cocktails and music by DJ Drenik! It was an all around amazing time! Did I mention that I had my very own Private VIP Ride there thanks to Uber!

The Owner of Vixen and party planner extraordinaire, Venessa Johnson, did such an amazing job and did I mention that she is 9 months pregnant too... like due on Tuesday pregnant! Any woman that can pull off her level of chicness and party throwingwhile they are 9 months pregnant is a hero in my mind! 

Here are some pics from the event:

Here I am admiring the art from Thumbprint Gallery and drinking my signature Dirty Shirley Cocktail! 

Some models workin' it on the runway! 

Some of the fab vendors included Street Chic and Savvi Jewels. 

My gorgeous sister double fisting it! ha! How rad are her pants!? 

And this gem... I had to take a picture with this fashion savvy man! 

Oh, and in case you were wondering...

Painted Halloween Pumpkins

Have you seen Painted Halloween Pumpkins making the rounds on the internets lately!? I think Pumpkin Painting is such a cute alternative to traditional pumpkin carving, which is typically messy.

I invited a few friends over on Tuesday for a Pumpkin Carving Party and we had so much fun! We drank wine, ordered pizza, watched seriously cheesy 80's horror movies and painted pumpkins all evening. Here are some pics from our fun evening. Enjoy!
