bike parade

A children's bike parade is a perfect way to capture the joy of summer! More cuteness here (via Pumpkin Petunia).

clare's RED birthday party

Ladybugs, cupcakes and flowers in an energetic RED color palette for Clare's 2nd birthday- lots more pics here and here. I love the non-specific theme party with red as the common thread in all of the party elements. So cute!

If you haven't yet stumbled upon this gem of a blog, it's a must for those seeking dessert inspiration (and yes, that 'knitting basket' is a cake!).

car cupcakes

hello naomi never disappoints. (I know I'm slightly obsessed).

I spotted these lovelies on Decor8...who knew boutonnieres could be so cool?
