School of Fish and Birthday Cake Cupcakes

 

Minnows for the last day of one of my coworkers with the last name Nimmo. She loved them!

Birthday Cake made out of 34 cupcakes! I made these for our administrative teams monthly meeting and to celebrate the birthdays from the 2nd quarter.

Two projects in one night! I cannot believe it! I am very proud of myself and think both creations came out great. Simple vanilla cake and buttercream, but I went all out with the decorations. They were a huge hit at work too!

The cupcake inspiration came from the Hello Cupcake and What’s New, Cupcake books. They’ve definitely provided me with a ton of inspiration and have made decorating really easy.

High Waist Tutu

Blazer Zara Women | Pink Tank Diane Von Furstenberg | Tulle Skirt, earrings and bracelet Forever 21 | Wedges Steve MaddenThis was my outfit for Wednesday.

I love this outfit! The effect of the tank and skirt made people think it was a dress. This skirt has a lot of personality, and we have had a difficult relationship. I purchased it on sale at Forever 21 with a broken zipper, but I figured it’d be worth it since there was also a Buy One Get One Free with all sale items. Typically I would not buy a piece if it is going to cost me more in the long run, but I thought this was too good to pass up. I had the zipper fixed one, and it broke, then again with a different tailor and as I was trying it on it was stuck on me and it broke again. I almost lost hope, but I figured if it broke after 3 times maybe I should stop putting any more effort into it. I finally took it to an amazing tailor, and explained my love-hate relationship with this skirt, and now it is perfect! I will definitely be wearing it again since it seems like this skirt and I are meant to be!

Coach Wedges

White Blazer Silence + Noise | Green Crepe Dress Chloe | Signature Print Brown Scarf (used as belt) and Signature Print Wedges Coach | Brown Leather Satchel Bag Vince CamutoAnother lovely outfit composed of mostly thrifted items. The dress and wedges are from Crossroads Trading Co, the blazer is from Goodwill, and the bag and scarf were gifts from my parents. 
I was going for an army/ camo color palette, and I had the shoes in my closet since May waiting for the right day to be worn. They were comfortable until the last hour of the day! It might have been because I am not used to being so tall! We’ll see if these are packed and taken on my Vegas trip coming up this weekend!
I might not post tomorrow because I will be in cupcake decorating mode. Wish me luck and until next time!

Dora Wrap Dress

Black Cardigan, Pearl Chain Necklace, Pearl and Gold Bracelets Forever 21 | Black and Beige Dora Wrap Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenI had this desire to really look professional today, especially because two new people joined our office. Since I am young, I sometimes feel like I need to dress up to be taken seriously. That, and because I love to do it!
This dress has been in my closet for a couple of months now, so it is about time I wore it.  I love the classic cut and simple champagne and black color combo. It is the DVF Dora and I found her at Crossroads Trading Co.
I am super inspired, and not from my outfit! I decided to make some awesome cupcakes this week and I have already purchased most of my decorating supplies! Just need a few more items before I can start working on my project. Hopefully I’ll be sharing what I’ve made in an upcoming post.
