please share in some of my cheery inspiration:

these are some set-up pics from an intimate birthday soiree we did some days ago. very simple and chic. my only instruction was to make sure it was not fussy. they just wanted simple elegance. we did that by using only 3 elements – yellow ribbon, yellow blooms, and candlelight – with lots of repitition for impact.

also, this yellow apron for the hostess with the mostess, courtesy of  the fabulous anthropologie, could not be anymore charming. i really love the floral detailing and the subtle hint of teal.

bright yellow paired with classic black and white, or navy, is another of my favorite ways to use yellow.

and saving the sweetest for last. my 1 year old, sahai, in her “itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini”  and my 2 year old, solae, in her pretty yellow summer dress:)
