We were all a bit giggly today, taking photos of new products surrounded by party goodies. It was a good Friday, and a great week. Check out Kaity's new flats above. We love them, and we all want some. We will be the neon-toed bunch of bloggers and you shall know us by our neon toes. Below, Antoinette spotted this beyond-adorable shoot on The Sweetest Occasion.
Courtney knows a good party means a good party cart + she shared these via Party Resources.

OK: I freaked when I saw this shirt on Kate Spade's instagram from their coverage of NY Fashion Week. I absolutely must have it. It's my life's dream to learn French + speak it with my mom so we can have secret conversations. No matter if it's about dinner or where the cat is, it would be lovely to be able to ask in French!
Happy Weekend, Lovelies.

Maybe it's the impending Oscar's or my complete adoration of The Artist, but I just can't stop daydreaming about old Hollywood glamour. Hollywood through the decades is so interesting - from the silent film error, to the big Hollywood studios, and the annual Academy Awards - which are airing for their 84th year this year! It's an easy spot to look for inspiration for parties and weddings, and with starlets like Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Wood, Vivien Leigh, and more, there is plenty of style inspiration.
Tell me, do you have a favorite "old" movie?

One of the biggest trends for nearly-weds is using food trucks for their wedding receptions instead of booking traditional catering options. No longer just for street food, more and more brides’ are looking into food trucks as a great alternative to conventional cuisine. Whether it’s for the full reception menu, a late night snack, or just desserts, food trucks are an amazing alternative food option and usually can be booked at a fraction of the price! In addition to being fun and affordable, brides’ hosting their receptions in parks or venues with limited kitchens can now take advantage of this growing opportunity as food trucks are gaining popularity all across the US.
Here are some fabulous food truck weddings we found to share with you: A fun, laid back California wedding featuring the MIHO gastrotruck, a late-night stop at the Rickshaw Dumpling Bar, and a beautiful reception with the WOW Silog truck photographed by Jenn Bartell. Feast your eyes on these beauties!
Some things to keep in mind when booking a food truck:
- Consider the weather: keep in mind your guests will have to be outside to get their food so make sure the season is appropriate!
- Despite what you may think, food trucks have the capability to feed a lot of people fast, which is why they are so popular at carnivals and outdoor festivals; however you need to remember each guest will still have to spend some time in line, so having multiple food truck options may be needed depending on the size of the party.
- Decide on the menu: remember different food trucks offer different cuisines, pick choose a truck that will match the ‘theme’ of the reception. Make sure to test the food and create a customized menu for your guests!
Would you consider using a food truck for your wedding reception?
