vintage flower pins
/
These pins remind me of the ones Gen gave us (her bridesmaids) to wear for her wedding. Simple Silhouettes is selling them for $15/piece. Of course, if you like the thrill of the hunt, you can probably score some on ebay or at your local flea market for less.

the fun stuff: dog days of summer
/
For the last post in honor of Jack's 1-year-old dog days of summer birthday party, I wanted to focus on fun and the frivolous items!
From top: French flash cards of 'dog' and 'boy' from etsy seller, theturniptruck. A perfect outfit for Jack's mom, in keeping with the spirit of the party...top, skirt and bag from Kayce Hughes. Classic outfit for the birthday boy from Flora & Henri. Dalmation wooden toy from The Wooden Wagon. Vilac pull toy from Rose & Radish. Vintage wood dog toy from Three Potato Four. Red and white dog toy from The Satin Box. Small doghouse toy from The Wooden Wagon. Reversible dog wrapping paper from Whimsy Press...including 'Woof is the new bark' and 'This gift is like 7 dog gifts.'
summer party attire
/
Of course, attire must be planned in advance for a great summer fête! Pictured above are some summer-inspired favorites. Menswear halter, Roma wedges and Strawberry dress for the ladies, by Anthropologie. July and Pinecone tie for the men in your life by Lena Corwin (these would be fabulous paired with a light-colored linen suit and a checked or striped dress shirt... or even better, seersuckers!). Lastly, some amazing vintage children's outfits from Melodie Adam's Etsy store. I don't usually like John-John's for boys, but this one is pretty irresistible! There are lots of cute one-of-a-kind summer finds to be had at Melodie's shop: www.pinkcupcakevintage.etsy.com.
