mom style - mininalist look

Happy Monday!!!!! 

Hope y'all had a fantastic thanksgiving weekend with your loved ones. I ate a little too much. I am feeling like a stuffed turkey these days! Ha! 

Miami doesn't get as cold during the holiday season as we all wish it would. For the most part, we try to incorporate some seasonal fashion pieces without looking too silly in this 80 degree paradise.

I love vests, they are in style and they hide all those extra pounds we might of gained after this weekend. It's a great statement piece. I linked some long trench vests, that I am loving. So, you could try to recreate this easy-peezy outfit.

Last but not least, I love effortless fashion and basic colors. Minimalistic is my middle name! This color combo has to be one of my ultimate favorites of 2015.

G's ice cream party

HAPPY TUESDAY!

It's been an eventful couple of weeks! We celebrated Giuliana's 2nd birthday, and it was all a dream! I chose the whimsical/chic ice cream theme for this special celebration. I really wanted to do this theme last year, but I went with the vintage royal theme instead see here. 

This party was at a park that had a beautiful playground right next to it. I could only wish that this kind of playground was around when I was a kid. To go with out theme we used existing picnic tables, and we decorated using some home decor and custom made pieces. Plus, we had the cutest minnie mouse bounce house that power party events provided for the very first time. What kid doesn't love a bounce house?

I collaborated with many shops to make this party a dream come true. I couldn't thank my family (hubby, sister's in law, brothers, moms and friends) enough for helping me on this big day. My sister is truly the best co-party planner, without her I couldn't have done it! What can I say, I am BLESSED!

Let's talk about the cake, I wish you could taste it! It tasted better than it looks. My sister in law who runs Something Sweet by Flo is pretty amazing and talented. Her work is one-of-a-kind and she is "hands down" the best baker in MIAMI.

Efhamar and Sienna  have been a dream to work with! They sent over so many goodies, such as all frill balloons, tassels, and garlands to give it that chic touch. They are the sweetest most incredible people to work with.

Loving all these pics by Liz Castro, she is the sweetest and most patient photographer. Have you ever photographed a kids party? Me either! She is more than a dream to work with, her talent and creativity is next level.

Want to win a kids heart? Make giant bubbles. Best idea ever! Thanks to our sweet friends Sam & Angel for doing this, the kids were over the top excited.

There are some blogs that can truly make your event dream a reality. I always look forward to sharing ideas and experiences and this is essentially why I blog. I've been inspired by so many gifted people, so I want to inspire others. Below you will find a breakdown of the 'what' and 'who' where I got everything! Please follow and check them out. I'm sure they will inspire you too!
