I'm so bored.
I know. I shouldn't be complaining about how bored I am when everyone else is working all day, but you don't understand. I need to be busy. I need to be entertained! I've done some job searching (clearly not enough), but I mainly spend my day watching Family Feud and dancing in my underwear to music from last year while I get ready to go..nowhere. Oh, and I eat a lot of fruit and cheese.
Apparently while I was gone, all my friends decided they were going to grow up. Two friends got engaged and one friend moved to New York. Last weekend was my friend, Megan's, bridal shower. Aly, Kelly, and I threw her a beautiful bridal shower in San Francisco. It was so grown up and so cute, I had to share it. It was sophisticated and fun (finally something that represents my blog title). The Parisian theme tied in beautifully with the elegance of Kelly's parent's house. We served croissants and jam, sandwiches, salad, fruit salad, palmiers, and madelines. Aly rented linens and we made our decorations (no thanks to Martha Stewart). For parting gifts we gave out "I love Paris" tote bags and a wedding themed nail polish. Kelly came up with a game in which everyone gets a month from a calendar and they have to write a date idea for that month. Everyone came up with super cute date ideas, but I won. Heck yes. What was the winning prize? The centerpieces I made. Of course they're adorable, but what the heck am I going to do with Styrofoam balls covered in cupcake liners? I don't even have a place to hang my clothes. Anyway, we are super proud of how the shower turned out. Take a look!
