Event: Floral Meets Fashion

One of my precious friends celebrated her birthday last weekend.  In addition to being a total sweetheart, she has a great eye for fashion and for locating anything cute and fabulous.  The thoughtful hostess, knowing the birthday girl well, took this into account with every detail.  For example, the cake was a custom purse-shaped treat so realistic it could be on a shelf for sale at Louis Vuitton.  Beautiful and delicious!

I was elated to be there among friends for the celebration and to help create the centerpieces.  Keeping with the purse theme, I aimed to mix floral with fashion.  An online search led me to these moss covered planters.  Then I went to my favorite local flower shop and selected a variety I thought might work nicely together for this outdoor event. 

A wide clear vase with flat top is used to raise the small purse higher, giving maximum visibility to both.  

Tall vases add an element of height.  Pink feathers add texture and also match the balloons at the event.
 
Import Flowers on Murphy Road is the best local source for flowers. I love that you can walk through the coolers and select your favorites.  

All packed up and ready to go!

Me Loves Gloves

The recent cold weather in Nashville has me all giddy with excitement.  Scarves, sweaters, coats, cashmere, hats and such are finding their way from the back of my closet to the front and I love it.  All of this layering has me thinking for you gals... it's funny how something as simple as putting on a glove can transform a dress or outfit into a more elegant, refined and memorable look.  Below are a few of my favorite looks of inspiration as well as some great gloves I've come across recently.

This Louis Vuitton ad speaks for itself. 

From the Fall 2010 runway collection of Milly (www.millyny.com) these blue gloves add an awesome pop to this black and white look.
