Barefoot at the beach for a cause!

Our RubyLove Girl of the month Megan is on a mission!

It’s been in the works for months, but it’s finally becoming a reality. On July 19th from 10:00 to 12 noon at the Boat Pavillion at Lake Forest Beach, Illinois, Megan is hosting a RubyLove fashion show to benefit “A Safe Place of Lake County“-a domestic violence shelter.

Megan came up with the idea a few months ago when she saw RubyLove in Seventeen magazine. She was in the middle of working on getting her girl scout gold award. And when she contacted me, I was very eager to help out.

The show will feature the entire RubyLove Reflection-Tees collection and promote the positive messages behind them. After the fashion show, everyone in the audience has the chance to make their own inspirational t-shirt. And they can also purchase RubyLove Reflection-Tees, which 30% of the proceeds will also be donated.

If you live near the Lake Forest area, I hope you’ll join Megan and have a fun afternoon at the beach for a good cause.

My Baby Shower!

Time has gone by so fast, I’m now less than 2 months from meeting my baby boy. And to celebrate his arrival, our backyard was transformed into the perfect location to host a baby shower on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

*********************

We served fresh summer fruits and hand decorate cupcakes for the big day.

*********************

Upon arrival, the guests were asked to sign in on name tags that read “HELLO, I’M UNCLE…” and “HELLO, I’M AUNTIE…” And before they left the party, each of them receive a little blue tea light candle that we asked them to light when the baby is born, and to say a little birthday wish for him.

*********************

Meet the happy parents!

I’m really looking forward to introducing you to RubyLove’s new addition very soon!
And who knows, maybe I’ll be inspired to design a baby line too!

Sites I love

I recently came across 2 websites that whenever I visit them, they just make me smile. I love to entertain and enjoy looking at beautiful photos of party decor and accessories. When I found the site HOSTESS {with the mostess} I was in entertaining heaven.

This modern party website offers clever entertaining ideas, party themes, and fabulous gift ideas…all so pleasing to the eye for the modern day hostess.

Check out their Entertaining 101 section for ways to throw an eco-friendly party

Another site I love is Wallflour. For someone like me whose hobby is eating, I love knowing that someone else enjoys all aspects of food as much as I do. Just the home page design alone is enough to make my mouth water.

The personal voice from creator Camille makes you feel like you’ve been invited to an intimate dinner party. And for those good in the kitchen, you can dive in and try out the recipes. Or like myself who is better at imagining than actually making the dish, your taste buds will be awakened by curiosity.

Bon Appetit!
