Gosh it's been a while since we've seen any blogger malarky business going on here.
Exactly why has Kitty taken to sequin-licking?
Of course, there's a story behind every picture.
Showgirl headband - DIY
Sequin top and bangles - op shops
Vintage tutu and earrings - Etsy
Leggings - Black Milk
Creepers - Dolls Kill sale
With preparations well underway, The Stylist successfully dodged the harried activities by snapping off a ton of her wonderful, signature arty pics.
It was my first time entertaining a medium-sized crowd in five years and it was moments like these that kept me laughing.
Meanwhile, #2 Son slumbered deeply at 5pm.

Mental much?
So I'd better link up to Sacramento's "Flowers" theme then hadn't I?

The stylist is a talented photographer for her age and what a grand job she did of colouring mummas hair. Love the colour!! Housewarming party looks like fun, good to see you blogging, you look great!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Can I borrow the stylist for some photos too? :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time and I hope you are very very happy in your new home!
PS: I recognize the stripy skirt! I'm glad you're still wearing it :)
Your head dress is magnificent!! I needed to say it straight away! The Stylist is a multi-talented wonder, and beautiful too, like her Mama - it looks like the best house warming ever, and with extra sparkles and Pimms (I buy the blag version from Aldi!) I hope you all have recovered! x x x
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you and your family looking chic and sleek, and enjoying life in your new home! The Stylist is a lovely young lady -- and obviously very talented as a photographer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a time and a half! I love having people over for dinner parties but my apartment is tiny - and all my friends are tied to tiny baby humans who demand 99% of their waking time - so it doesn't happen often as I'd like. I love that your friends are fabulous like you, and that you're honey just rolls with it heh.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in your hair are gorgeous! Looks like a fun time.

You have such a fine-looking family, and the stylist is getting more beautiful with each passing day.
