Mac's First Fiesta!

Fiesta Invite - 1"MAC ES UNO!"

I had the honor of creating a fiesta themed invite for the most adorable 1 year old I know! Knowing what an awesome party planner is mom is, I couldn't wait to see all the pieces put together, and as you can see Mac's Fiesta was nothing short of perfect - Mac's mom pulled out all the stops: a mariachi band, piƱata, AND maracas as party favors! I still can't believe this little man is already "UNO!!!"

What's Inside?!
1. Texas Postcard
2. Deep Eddy's Ruby Red Vodka - because it is (Austin) TEXAS made!
3. Party Horn - why not?!
4. Nutella & Go! because we share a love for Nutella!
5. Gum
6. White Chocolate Lindt Truffles - because they are awesome!
7. 5x7 Italy/Texas Print - made by me!contentsbags copyphotos1

From Italy to Austin | Our Study Abroad Reunion!

italy-to-texas-blog
FUN FACT: I studied abroad in Florence, Italy the summer before my senior year of college. Not only was the country beautiful, but the friendships I created were life long. This post is about those friendships.
Meet (from left to right, after me) Amy, Erica, Chelsea and Angela! Also known as MY ITALY FAMILY - I absolutely adore each one of these girls and am so incredibly blessed that our paths crossed in Italy over two years ago!

Even though we don't live near each other, we still keep in touch via group text {don't know what we'd do without it}! Since the day we left Italy, we have always talked about having a reunion and we FINALLY DID IT! Since three of us call Texas home we figured it only mad sense to reunite in the LONE STAR STATE, and somehow it worked out that everyone decided to come to my humble {one bedroom} abode in Round Rock! 5 girls in a one bedroom apartment = ONE AWESOME SLEEPOVER, which is just what we needed!

Another fun fact: Chelsea and Amy had NEVER been to Texas! So the pressure was on to give them a Texas-sized welcome!

It just so happens that there is a small town about 20 minutes north of where I live in Round Rock called FLORENCE! And if that alone isn't enough, they have a vineyard in Florence... so, naturally, we had to spend an evening out there sipping wine, reminiscing, and catching up! It was absolutely beautiful. We couldn't have imagined a better way to spend our time together!

And of course I had to show them my favorite spots in Austin including South Congress, P. Terry's Burger Stand, Amy's Ice Cream, Santa Rita Tex-Mex, and Rainey Street. Everyone departed Sunday afternoon full and tired which in my mind = SUCCESS!

Southern Comfort Inspiration Board | Couple's Shower

My sweet brother and future sister-in-law's BIG DAY is approaching quickly and I am incredibly excited by all of the celebrating there is to do! One of my mom's best friend's, Pat, is hosting a couple's shower for Clay and Kate. I am overjoyed that Mrs. Pat has enlisted my help to create an invitation and help style the shower! The theme of the couple's shower will be "Southern Comfort," so I have been pinteresting away to find the perfect southern touches. I have been trying to keep an open mind to the fact that this IS a couple's shower *aka not just for girls WOMP WOMP.*  Although, I want to make everything cutesy, I am going to refrain from scaring away the boys.

So excited to put all of these ideas into action! (modified for the guys, of course.)
