Mary Van Notes

I found myself bending and twisting pipe cleaners into hearts with arrows through them the Friday of Valentine’s Day weekend.   I was gluing ruffled pink fabric, and twisting wire attached to red plastic hearts.   Of course I was at Nicole’s house, which was the setting of the most magical and sweet Valentine’s Day Party EVER!  I took the opportunity to wear an amazing 1940s coral red evening gown with the most beautiful magenta beaded neckline.  The dress, the decor, the friends — everything was magical!

dress: Thunderhorse Vintage in Sacramento, CA
hat: Vintage a la Mode in San Francisco, CA
shoes: Vivienne Westwood Melissa
belt: thrifted

Some of the fashionable ladies at the party were Jennifer and Annalise of the Hummingbird Girls.

The delicious food with my delicious neckline.  Am I right!?!!  Love that smoked salmon.

Ashley of Fancy Fine was there and of course, there’s Nicole, the gracious hostess.

And yes, that’s a piñata.  Nicole filled it with amazing things she made like umbrella shoe clips and dove earrings.

Francesca of The Snail and the Cyclops with Ashley.

My friend Nick aka DJ Real.

I gave Nick my hat to wear and told him to pose like he was a fashion blogger.  This is what he did:

Heading out the door…

Party’s over : (

I hope you all had a sweet Valentine’s Day!  If you didn’t, you can relive Nicole’s party through a video Ashley made!
