Well- Footed Hostess?

Ok, so our first birthday party has come and gone, BUT Martha would tell us that doesn't mean we can't start thinking about the next one.

I love this site: www.thepartydress.net, tag line "Inspiration for the Well-Heeled Hostess." This hostess hasn't slipped on her favorite pair of Jimmy Choos and anthro apron in a while (and other clothes, please this is PG). But, she still loves tucking away fabulous ideas for the next soiree she may throw... so, she'll self-title the Well-Footed Hostess (thanks to Tory).

How adorable are these party themes/decor? So not cheesy. The Well-Heeled Hostess even provides links on the site so you can replicate exactly.

A baby shower for twins... seriously, how cute.

A ladybug birthday party theme. Hmm.... I'm thinking Belle Jefcoat. Surely, since she'll have been a sweet 'lil ladybug for Halloween. Belle, maybe Stella McDermott will let you borrow the gigantic ladybug mushroom her dad almost got arrested over on her first birthday.

I just love how the red checked ribbon is tied onto the drink labels. A perfect picnic party.

What a great party idea... who doesn't love a good solid game of croquet (so long as gin & tonics are on the menu). Under a sky of colorful paper lanterns. Ahhh, summer, please stay.

P.S. A few posts ago I raved about Jenna Lyons and J.Crew. I still think Jenna is super cool, but am wholly disappointed with J.Crew's fall in-store selection. Maybe I'm jaded because I'm not ready to say goodbye to summer, but there was far too much grey and wool.
