Inspiration to reality: Pink, gold and hearts party
Hello! It’s Tiffany stopping by today. I am a party planner at heart. I’m not a professional (yet), but I love the process and learn something new with every shindig I throw. I live, breathe, and think “party!” It’s a sickness. I’ve started to wonder whether it’s helpful or annoying that once a friend tells me her party theme I begin constantly texting her sources, ideas, and pictures from Target’s $1 section. I’m going to go with helpful.
One of the ways this plays out? When shopping for my girls. It never fails. I’m at the mall, see a little toddler ensemble, and immediately want to plan an entire party around it. In fact, I recently changed my daughter’s party color scheme shortly before the event because I found a dress I loved in a different color palette! And that’s when this idea was born: A little outfit as inspiration for an entire party. But to give you a bit more to go on, I’ve also included an inspiration party (or two). Be inspired friends!
Pink & Gold Party Inspiration
Jessica photographed this beautiful “Baby Love” pink and gold party for Jenna of Eat Drink Pretty. I love the pretty details, soft tones, and shimmery metallic.
And remember Jessica and Cassie’s (of chubby mama cupcakes) urban chic pink and gold “Cue the Confetti” party?!

Check out Old Navy right now–they have lots of fleece/sweatshirt crew necks for women. I ordered a few online today to see what works. There’s a tunic one I can’t wait to get (no metallic heart though) ;)
