Clean and Graphic

Today I'm doing it backwards, I usually write a post and then find pictures that seem to match the mood. Today it seems that I'm just posting some pretty and while I'm getting the images together I might find something interesting to say. 

These pictures are kind of how I hope my summer goes, clean and simple. It's been nice so far but it's only been a week. Am I too crazy to hope it keeps up? Yes I know I'm freaking bonkers. It's OK, please let me keep on with my illusion that I will have the perfect summer.

I do post more of my day to day on Instagram so follow me there too my handle is @sarahsfabday.

I know more food...

Would you want to come to this party? It was an idea that got scrapped and think that maybe I'll have to do it at home.

Love it :: Flower Garland

One of the prettiest parties I've seen in a long time. No surprise that it was produced by the phenomenal Sunday Suppers peeps.

See it HERE

Alphabet Bunting

Have you seen this sweet FREE download for Alphabet Bunting found on Ruffled? Simply adorable, not to mention handy when you need to whip up something cute for a party.

Let's dish

Let's meet here. I think I'd serve champagne and sweet summer fruit and we could dish the afternoon away about things totally important such as the latest on Perez and Sartorialist. Anyone care to join me?

Buon Natale

I remember at Halloween the blogworld was abuzz with Brooklyn Limestone's fabulous Halloween invitations, well she does it again this time on the fly with a Buon Natale party. Here is what the fabulous hostess came up with with a day's notice

Come on, one day? Miss Limestone, you're a genius. Your party looks all kinds of fun and that invitation is pretty awesome.

Speaking of sparkly

Wow. What do you think they're having for dinner?

Today was my last day at The Invitation Lady {hopefully just for awhile} so expect to see a few more event, wedding and party posts here.

I will still have to get my fix.

See all my greatest hits here.

I wasn't invited

Remember this post when I was practically begging Ken Fulk to invite me over for a BBQ and a swim?

Looks to me like he went had a party without me.

This morning I saw this party on Snippet & Ink and knew immediately that it was one of my favorite homes. I wonder if this was a favor for family or a friend or does he rent out his gorgeous ranch for parties? A little detective work might be in order.

Live and in person

One of the coolest invitations ever! A bride and groom had the artists who print the posters for the Grand Ol' Opry make their wedding invite, j'adore.

Flower power

This couture inspired floral arrangement by Laura Dowling shown at Style Me Pretty has me swooning. I must know what the vase is made of, any ideas?

Cute as a button

Such a charming idea...

Grazin' & Games

My pal Rikki The Invitation Lady is throwing her first annual Grazin' & Games Party, an evening filled with food and sport. The traditional adult games will be played cards, pool and the like but I'm thinking it might be fun to roll in with any of the following games to shake it up a bit.

Pin the Tail on the Donkey

Sack Races

Egg and Spoon Race

I think that they would be hilarious after a couple of these cocktails appropriately named Goodnight and Good Luck.

Red

Red is my favorite color and I love how the tightly packed carnations look all ruffly and fresh.

Perfect Summer Party

I have had this saved in my pictures for some time now and I decided now was the perfect time to break it out. This one of my favorite collages from the lovely Kathryn at Snippet & Ink.

Red is my favorite color, so mixed with the white it just looks so fresh and summery. It's the perfect inspiration for a party, I would die to be a guest at this soiree!
