I THREW MY FIRST Chloe + Isabel pop-up party to show off our new spring lines a couple of weeks ago and it was ever so lovely!
SINCE IT WAS MARCH the hostess and I decided on The Mad Hatter & March Hare’s Tea Party for the theme. It’s been my experience you can never go wrong with Alice In Wonderland. I think it’s been scientifically proven as a matter of fact.
WHAT’S A POP-UP PARTY? Well, it’s just like a pop-up shop but with a party atmosphere…there’s a hostess (who can earn free jewelry!) and drinks and food and fun and chloe + isabel jewelry, of course. We eat. We drink. We laugh. We try on jewelry. We have fun.
LEMON CUPCAKES WITH SUGAR BEES, heart shaped sandwiches, cream puffs and bubbly pink beverages abounded. The food and jewelry wove together beautifully to create an adorable and delicious display.
I HAVE TO BE HONEST…I was scared to death. I’m not a party person – I never throw them and don’t attend many. Being sensitive to people’s energy makes crowds a bit overwhelming for me. I’m also an introvert so that makes social events a double whammy for me. But it wasn’t bad at all…in fact I had fun despite my anxiety.
I WAS PROUD that I conquered my anxiety and pulled together a lovely event (with the help of my amazing hostess who provided the insanely cute and delectable spread…heart shaped sandwiches…I mean come on!). Sure I stumbled and felt awkward but that’s what happens when you try anything new. Isn’t it? We must learn to walk before we can run. A few more awesome events like this and I’ll be ready for a marathon in no time.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? Did you do anything to ring in spring? Have you conquered any fears lately? Do tell, my dear. Do tell.
Kisses & Chaos,
Alli Woods Frederick
