I had such an amazing time at this weekend's Lovely Happenings event! It was truly the ultimate girls' day filled with fun people, fabulous decor and a fun mimosa and bloody mary bar! Seriously, the perfect Saturday!

I was apart of the DIY category for the event where I hosted a donut decorating pumpkin bar! Bringing two of my favorite things together :) I took a fun and bright twist on pumpkin painting by decorating pumpkins with colorful paints, glitter and other fun "sprinkle" options.

A huge thanks to everyone who stopped by my table and had fun painting donut pumpkins with me too! Everyone had their own spins on the DIY project which made it that much more fun. 

If you didn't have a chance to stop by my table or for those of you that couldn't make it here's a rundown of how you can create your own donut pumpkins! Because let's be real, everything is better with sprinkles and glitter right!?

The Supplies:

• Mini pumpkins

• Acrylic paint

• Paint brushes

• Mini pom poms

• Gem stickers

• Glitter glue

• Tacky glue

Get to Painting!

No matter how creative you think you are this DIY is for everyone! There's only 3 steps!

1. Clean off the pumpkins -- wet wipes work awesome for this

2. Paint the frosting -- I left a circle around the stem so the pumpkin would look more like a donut. Then paint as much "frosting" as you would like around the top of the pumpkin. Depending on the color you pick you may want to do a few coats.

3. Pick your "sprinkles" -- You can paint on sprinkles with other paint colors, use glitter glue or glue on mini pom poms or gem stickers!

This DIY project is totally perfect for any upcoming girls night or Halloween get-togethers you have coming up too! 

And that's a wrap! A HUGE thank you goes out to the co-founders of Lovely Happenings Rachael and Jaclyn -- who are easily two of my new favorite people -- for inviting me to be apart of the Fall event! <3 :)

New York Fashion Week is in full swing in the city! This season I kicked off the week at LuLu*s Style Studio event with my friend and fellow blogger Lynette. The evening was filled with all things beauty and fashion -- makeup, manicures, fashion, prosecco and shopping! Is there really a better combination? 

LuLu*s really went to the nines on this event and all of the attendees were treated to makeup makeovers, a fun photo booth, a gifting suite full of fabulous beauty products and a whole floor dedicated to LuLu*s fall fashions!

Even the drinks sparkled! Cheers to Diama Sparkle for the delicious drinks for the evening! I'm definitely going to have to pick up a bottle or two to add to my bar cart for the sole reason the bottles were so pretty! ;-)

Now onto some of the fashion! When we made it to the top floor of the event space we were greeted with racks and racks of fabulous fall picks from LuLu*s. And the best part...? We all got to pick an item to take home with us!

It was tough to choose, there were just so many adorable options, but I ended up going with a fun wool plaid midi skirt. Midi skirts have become such a staple in my wardrobe and I've been dying to find a cute fall choice. So I was super excited when I stumbled upon this cutie on the racks. Good news, you can snag one for yourself too! Shop the skirt!

That wasn't the end of the night's goodies either.. LuLu*s generous sponsors hooked all of us up with some serious beauty swag! I cannot wait to try out the Amika dry shampoo (I'm so addicted to dry shampoo...) and some of LVX's fall nail polish colors! I don't even know where to start on trying all of these goodies!
