All Things Girly Glam

It's Partner in Crime's birthday today! She has been a truly amazing friend & mentor to me, so it was my pleasure to help her husband plan a small get together to celebrate. Partner in Crime is about all things sparkly, girly & pink- which would not be a straight man's forte anyway-ha ha!

We had the party at the Tiki Bar at the Inner Harbor- so we were limited on space as to decorating. I went for a simple candy bar type theme that was very girly glam to say the least. Pink princess lollipops, my adored (if I do say so myself!) Bon Bons, rock candy, ring pops & mike n' ikes were just some of the confections. Personalized cups & napkins added an intimate touch(of course I blocked the age girleens- I'm a good friend!)
It was a night of great friends, food & drink. One of my life long best friends is in town this week & was a life saver in terms of helping me set up! It was a gorgeous night, but over 90% while we were setting up- so we were melting as was the food! Thank the Lord for frozen margaritas to cool us down while we were catching up!

Here is the beginning set up before cupcakes, cheese & veggie platters were added. I was limited to containers, as glass wasn't permitted on the deck. I did sneak in an adorable hand painted birthday wine glass for the guest of honor & luckily I found some cute ice cream containers, plastic vases & lucite cake plates to make it more upscale. The splash of leopard was another tribute to the birthday girl!

Vanilla cupcakes with sweet buttercream icing from Charm City Cupcakes added another feminine & frilly facet to the finishing touches. It was such a great night & I wish her a very Happy Birthday!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
