What’s Inspiring Diana: Polka Dots

7. sassy polka dot tights from marc jacobs //8. carolina amato gloves

I don’t know what it is about polka dots but there isn’t a polka dot pattern that I don’t love! Maybe it derives from our constant fascination by Kate Spade and her easy-to-love designs and ensembles, or maybe it’s my love for Roy Lichtenstein’s notorious pop art. I find them to be so fun and versatile-they can be preppy, charming, sophisticated, playful, and downright glamorous! If I can find a way to wear them or incorporate them, I will!

XO!

Luxe Wedding Garters by florrie mitton couture

I’ve never been a huge fan of garters– I’ve gotta admit. Mostly because I think their designs are just flat out cheesy. Polyester strapped to my thigh? No thanks. But these garters by florrie mitton… well, they single handedly made me change my mind all together! The UK based designer has created handmade works of art with vintage finds, lace, and fine silks. You must check out their etsy store to see more of their custom designs. It’s just pretty, pretty, pretty.

xo!

Delicious Vendors: Whimsey Spice

I came across this delightful etsy store via Swanky Tables a long time ago. Whimsey & Spice is the creation of Jenna and Mark, an art direction and a pastry chef living in New York. They specialize in making sweet food with a dash of spice. I have to admit, I haven’t tried Whimsey & Spice personally, but I can tell you that if it tastes only half as good as it looks, I might develop an addiction!

Among their products, my favorites have to be the pillows they call marshmallows, butterscotch bars, and the gorgeous earl gray sandwich cookies. Yum! For more delicious goodness, visit their etsy shop. They also have a wonderful blog, sweet fine day, where they share insight into their business and family. It is one of my favorite daily reads in my rss feed!

Holiday Cocktail Party Invitations

The best parties start with a fabulous invitation! Just like your save the dates and wedding invitations, an invite to your cocktail party gives guests a glimpse into the style, formality, and overall theme. If you must, you can always do e-invites, but I prefer to send something beautiful in the mail instead. Here are a few invitations I really love and think you will too:

Invitations by Jubilee

First up are the invitations Jubilee is offering through our etsy store. They all have a vintage vibe to them with fun and catchy phrases. We can customize them for you too, based on your parties color scheme!

Good Golly, Lets Get Jolly

This one is a favorite of mine — and I love that it is double sided! Click here to see more!

Holiday Soiree

This invitation was originally designed for our own fabulous holiday party, which we’re throwing on the 20th of December. I love that it is double sided, too! Click here to see more.
