Love is in the details. God is in the details. Glamour is in the details. My most darling perfect niece is turning 4 (just typing that almost makes me cry — especially since I’m not going to be there) in less than two weeks, so I’ve got parties on the brain. And when I think of parties, I think of Oh Happy Day. Jordan Ferney constantly comes up with the most insanely creative and sweet party and gift ideas. Like this birthday tree (top left). I’m still waiting to become besties with her (you must see the things she does for her friends – not to mention family!). Speaking of inspiring stylish ladies, how amazing are Joy’s giant shiny balloons (her hubby surprised her with them!) — not to mention her sparkling Kate Spade shoes, ban.do headband and Lauren Moffatt dress (bottom left)? I’ve also been obsessed with this chic zebra pinata (top right; who knew there was such a thing?) from the moment I first spotted it on Coco+Kelley, another must-read blog for the style set (um, that’s you!). Of course, what would a birthday be without a giant red balloon? I adore artist Blanca Gomez. And this print (bottom right) reminds me of Joanna’s utterly sweet engagement photos (below) by Max Wanger.

Do you have any clever party tips or celebration ideas/fantasies? I’d love to know xx!
