Local Shopping

I wanted to invite you all to a digital version of the Local Love in Bloom party at Found.

It was hosted by some of my favorite people: Kristin Alber of Found and Kim Stoegbauer of TomKat Studio.
Aren’t they stunning? I love how these two blondes have such varied colorings; I had a fun time guessing everyone’s color types. I’m pretty sure Kristin in a Cool Summer and Kim is a Light Spring, but I’d love to get my color drapes on both of them to confirm.

Laurel Morley of My Sweet Laurel was the perfect event coordinator and crafted all the paper flowers as well as the photo booth.

The event took place in the new T. Madison Shop. You guys need to check out this edgy Modern-Boho boutique out ASAP . How cute is this Bonjour Clutch?

Guests included: Summer Bellessa of the Girls with Glasses, Alex Evjen of AVE Styles, Becki Crosby of Whippy Cake

How pretty are these cakes by Joanna Meyer of Baked by Joanna? She says, especially when doing a naked cake, don’t skimp on the frosting. I’ll take that advice to heart.

Malori Maeva of Hoot & Holler showed us how to arrange our own flowers. My favorite takeaway was not to leave out the greenery. It adds so much texture and personality. People think of them as cheap, but they add instant character.

Everyone’s arrangements turned out so unique.

I had my little helper keeping things creative

Truth be told, I love shopping for children more than adults: no inhibitions or insecurities, only adulterated dress-up. My children’s Local Love selection mirrors this joy:

This high-end children’s haven peddles lofty fashion in little sizes, from Stella McCartney and Fendi to Moschino and Christian Dior. Owner Katie Wilson has scoured the globe in search of the perfect blend of glamour and glitter. Whether you’re searching for kiddie couture or the glitz of candy wrappers, unwrap this treasure for yourself.

Is anyone else anxious to find out what I’m having? How am I supposed to splurge on some ridiculous token for baby, when I don’t even know whether it’s a brother or sister? At least two more weeks to go before the big reveal.
