There’s nothin like a girls night when you have been working a ton and need something pretty and fun to do. A few talented friends and I decided to do a little pretty party for ourselves and why not invite a photographer along. We wanted to make this night a night full of pretty things and the color palette clearly shows just that. The berry tones with touches of mint made for a springy and rich setting.

We made italian sodas and ate macarons while we caught up on eachothers gossip. With beautiful desserts full of color from Flour & Flourish to the amazing florals that decorated the tables by Amber Reverie, this girls night was a complete success.

Using my home in Utah as our location seemed perfect because of the openness and natural light. We used natural wood furnishings to help off-set the bold color palette and added a fun cowhide rug for texture. With a little help from Target we got the perfect pillows to adorn the sofa finishing the room off.

Dressing up and getting our makeup done by professional makeup artist Sarah Burton prepped us for our B.F.F shots and of course we had to take a “girls night” selfie.

The watercolor floral invitations were designed using a fun die-cut styled envelop and the matching table cards added for a nice detail to the tablescape. To top the night off we made a free print for anyone trying to get ready for their own girls night. Check out the link below!

I love this color palette so much that I made you a little swatch image to pin. I also used one of my favourite new fonts called finlek, its on sale right now for $19 and is really fun to use. I am sure you have noticed how everything has gone from perfect sway calligraphy to brushy textured bold type. I love it all, its so fun to see how people use it. My challenge to you is to put use this in some way, either an outfit or a DIY project or whatever your little heart desires. Good luck!

I have seen so many amazing makeup related things that I had to do a post about all of them. First the packaging from Topshop is blowing my mind, seriously it is so simple and so beautiful and of course black and white, my true love. Second is the amazing Kandee Johnson I just discovered her tutorials on Glamour where she does covers from the past and shows us how to do the look. She does Madonna, Kim Kardashian and some model from the 60’s. It’s such a girly fun thing and I am totally inspired to actually start doing my makeup! hahaha. Last, my friend Jade Baird from Kissable Complexions is coming up with some awesome before and afters. Those just get me. I love to see people transform magically from makeup. I’m getting older and makeup is going to be my saving grace! Love it all. This song is perrrrfect with this glamorous post. Eat it up sistas!
