Sorry I have lagged on updating pics from my baby shower a couple weeks ago. I uploaded pictures only then for my computer to crash and had to get a new one! I am so thankful for all the great gifts little Ava received and the work my girlfriends put it in to make it so special for us! The shower turned out simple and chic just how I had hoped! It was small and intimate with about 15 people and couldn’t have asked for anything more!!
I wore a T-bags maxi dress with a cropped vegan leather jacket (Paper Crown by Lauren Conrad) My girlfriend made some ammmmazing “mocktails” for myself and two of my other girlfriends that are prego. They were so tasty and kept us from feeling left out while all the other guests were having pink bubbly!!
I set up a little coffee bar with doughnuts on a stick and rock candy sugar stirrers. I also made these tasty pasta skewers (recipe posted on Pinterest under my “taste” board) My girlfriend brought pink macaroons and mini red velvet Sprinkles cupcakes! They are ever so dangerous in that little bite size! Needless to say we were all stuffed!!! You can also see my hubby in one of the pics “helping out” aka stuffing his face with cake 😉
My girlfriend brought a polaroid camera, which I thought was such a fun idea! Everyone loved getting to take pics and go home with them! I LOVED the little frame where my girlfriends wrote sweet messages to baby Ava. I plan on hanging it in her nursery. Hope you girls enjoyed the pics! Having her shower made me even more excited to meet this little sweet pea!!!!
Your dress is so stunning and I am so happy you had a lovely shower.
So cute Andee, congrats on your soon to be be Fahionista!!!

what a gorgeous baby shower! I love the idea of the Polaroids. Do you know where the macarons and the cake are from? They look divine!
sorry it took a minute to respond. I believe they were both form a grocery store here called Bristol Farms. The cake had to be pre ordered.
Love your dress!!

I am a new follower. Love your blog. You have amazing taste. From the baby shower pictures your kitchen looks beautiful. Any chance you'll do a post on your home?
LOVE your blog! I am on the hunt for your dress is a size Medium. ANY idea at all where I can find it?? Thanks a million!
Hi Andee,
Super random question on an older post but, do you mind sharing some information on your kitchen island? Is it a custom piece or did it come with the house? Also, in some of your pics it looked like there were a couple in your kitchen. Or, maybe it is the same one in different pictures. Any info is greatly appreciated! I adore your blog!
