So Prête-Moi Paris turned 3 years old very recently (plus I am celebrating 10 years since my arrival in Paris!!!) and I thought I deserved a party….so I threw one!

Within just one month’s time of organisation, I gathered together some of the best people and elements I know in the City of Lights, to collaborate with and help me create and event that not only I would enjoy and celebrate but where my friends could benefit too! There was champagne, and cupcakes and frills and a specially made cocktail (a recipe post is in the works), and lots of pink, and sweets, and awesome prizes that were raffled off (for free of course) so that I could promote some of my favorite brands and services that I have blogged about or tested over the past three years.

Happy 3rd Birthday Prête-Moi Paris! from Prete Moi Paris on Vimeo.

What I wore :

Jewelry : (Necklace & bracelet) Leonor Heleno Designs

Top : H&M

Jacket : Jus d’Orange

Pants : Moschino

Shoes : Franco Paolucci

And I want you to all know that I DID MY OWN HAIR! Yeah… DIY baby!

The festivities were held at the Sugar Daze cupcake shop on rue Henry Monnier in the 9th.

Cat who opened her cupcake shop to us ♥ SUGAR DAZE ♥, freshly opened its doors just several months ago! Her cupcakes are made fresh daily (she doesn’t even use her freezer that’s how fresh things are!) Delicious & home-made. Compliments on her products at the party were all unanimous : Sugar Daze cupcakes are incredibly GOOD! You will find her five days a week in the cupcake shop, but also on twitter : @sugar_daze and facebook. She also created the Cupcake Camp Paris, which will see it’s third edition on October 27th.

The place was decorated in a whirlwind of pink fluff and the inspired talent of Frédérique from  ♥THE WEDDING TEA ROOM♥ who is an event decorator and she makes magic happen with a few ribbons and a sprout of flowers!!! She helped me with my wedding decoration (that you all followed I am sure, on my blog and on twitter) and she created the magnificent pink and black table last night for the party!!!! She has a creativity with out limits and a heart that matches it. Check her out, and speak about her on your blogs and social media platforms…she is a rare gem!!! Her facebook page, and Twitter : @WedTeaRoom You may have read about her recently on this inspiration shoot for a sweet French countryside wedding on my blog in which me and my friend from QuinntessentialStyle modeled.
