Warby Parker: Fall 2015 Collection
All images ℅ Warby Parker //Sponsored post
Raise your hand if you've ever got to work and forgotten your reading glasses. That's me every Monday! - blame it on my weekend ritual of switching my purse to make my outfits pop. I've relied on the same Tiffany's pair for the last three years ( yes I knowI need to get a new prescription ASAP!) but the idea of having multiple options at my finger tips that I get to test run first - well it's a no brainer. I'm sold! Warby Parker prices start at just $95 so it's reasonable to get a pair for the office and a pair for home. You simply pick the five you want to try and they'll mail them to you to test out. I'm thinking a brunch with all my girlfriends would be a great way to showcase my picks and get the best opinions. Their Fall trends are on point and "for every pair of Warby Parker frames sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need." Which frames would you pick?

Blue and grey all day
Anthropologie shades// Phillip Lim for Target top// Zara jacket// H&M skirt// TJMaxx heels
Hola! So I was going to say Happy Hump Day and then I realized it's only Tuesday ( yes it's one of those kinds of weeks already). Blue is my favorite color so I end up incorporating it into most of my outfits - this one in particular is perfect for transitioning from Summer to Fall. Instead of pairing the skirt with a white Tee, I opted for a grey studded one and a cropped jacket draped over my shoulders - think effortless chic. This look is trendy business attire. What color do you end up wearing the most?

Black & White Mini
TJMaxx dress, Marshalls sandals, French Connection for TJMaxx purse, Dior sunglasses
The week before school started my kids had an opportunity to meet their Principle and check out their classrooms. It was a 100 degrees that night but I didn't want to show up in the same old maxi. When I bought this mini dress I had no intention of ever wearing it without leggings but the heat can make a woman do some bold things! Lol! It works because of the flowy fabric and basic accessories - anything tight and over the top would have been just too much for this setting. I would love to hear from some of the mums out there how you dress when attending school functions!
Piñata DIY - Yoobi Style
Take your Yoobi Party to the next level and make your own Yoobi piñata.
Yoobi is all about bright colors so don't be afraid to pick them all! ;)
Take a sheet of tissue paper and fold it up to look like the above picture. Remember you'll be doing this with each color.
Make small slits in the folded tissue paper. This is similar to the slits in the Yoobi backdrop we made last week
After you've cut slits in each color, get your glue stick out, cause it's time to get sticky!
Layer each one to slightly overlap the next color
Do this all the way around the box so it looks great from all angles
Luckily the Yoobi symbol is a printable on the Yoobi website, so just print it HERE and color in ( a great way to get the kids involved) and then cut out carefully
Stick the Yoobi bird on each side
Voila! See it's not as hard as it looks :)

Photo Backdrop DIY
What you'll need: Yoobi tissue paper, Scissors, double-sided tape & a board
I bought 2 packets of each color but ended up only using 1 packet of each. This will vary depending on the size of the backboard
You can use the natural crease in the tissue paper to determine the length of the strips you're cutting
Cut strips in each color of tissue paper
Next stick the tissue paper onto the double sided tape. Make sure each layer hangs over the other.
You're going to want to hold down the previous layer so that it doesn't get stuck on the next layer of double-sided tape. Use something light so the strands don't rip.
Keep repeating until each color is finished. Then enjoy taking pictures in front of it! We used an easel at the birthday party as it was the easiest way of lowering the back drop for the smaller children.
Let me know what you think and check back in with me tomorrow to see how to make a Yoobi piñata!

Hands down this is the easiest birthday party I've ever thrown. For the first time ever I didn't find myself in aisle 3 of Party City debating over which ninja turtle would look most compatible with Princess Sophia. Wanna know the secret? [ Drumroll please]…Throw a Yoobi Party! Yes that's right I said throw a Yoobi party, ( pronounced "you-be") - neon colors and a Toucan bird = fun for everyone!
One For You. One For Me. For every Yoobi item you purchase, a Yoobi item will be donated to a classroom in need, in the U.S.
Party planning made simple, all while giving back to the community is too good of a package to pass up.
Keep checking in with my blog this week for fun DIY posts that will have you ready to throw your very own Yoobi party.
