Let's get this par-tay started!!!

The guests are arriving, the sun is shining (sort of!) and there is Pimms for everyone.


First through the door was Hannah of Mademoiselle:

Hannah is wearing: dress by Topshop, blouse (underneath) by Millou, headband by J.Crew, belt by H&M and bag by Michael Kors.

Hannah brought lemon ginger tea and a tiara for me!! Saying, Every girl needs a tiara, and your first blogiversary is the perfect time to get one. How lovely is that?!

Next in was Erika of Cafe Fashionista who is wearing this:

Sugar & Spice Blog One-Year Birthday Party by cafefashionista featuring Tibi dresses

Strapless silk-georgette dress, $242

Rag & Bone Victoria Wedge Sandal, 565 GBP

Juicy Couture - Modern Nostalgia-Double Cluster Ring (Gold) - Jewelry, $88

CC SKYE Feather Bangle, $60

House Of Harlow 1960 Gold-Crystal Style Bead Five Strand Headpiece, $272

Erika brought me a copy of Taschen's New York - so that I can dream of NYC and being back there - and a Pineapple Cooler to quench our thirsts!

And then Gemma from Retro Chick arrived with a nice bottle of champagne in hand, to toast Sugar & Spice's birthday:

Gemma is wearing: Mulberry Dress from a Charity Shop! Cherry Fascinator by Abilu Creations, Belt, Shoes and pearl earrings all from eBay and Pearl String Necklace from an Antique Market.

As I was opening the bottle of champagne and pouring us all a virtual glass there was another knock at the door and Florrie of Intrinsically Florrie was standing there looking very pretty:

 

Florrie has put on a summery H&M frock with pastel Topshop tights, a cheerful butterfly necklace from Accessorize and Mulberry shoes for a splash of colour.

She tells me that she is better with cakes than drinks and as you can never have enough of those she's brought along fairy cakes, cookies and flapjacks with strawberry milkshakes.

And then my Stylish Sis turned up!

My Stylish Sister is wearing: shoes from Dorothy Perkins, skirt from Topshop, top by Limited Collection at M&S, hairband was a gift, bag by Rocha.John.Rocha from Debenhams, rings from Dorothy Perkins.

And would you believe it, she's brought virtual Peppermint Tea Mojitos! Yummy!

Then Stace of Tee and Fame arrived bringing with her a lovely box of chocolates and some Turkish Apple tea - which I confess, I love - good choice!

Doesn't Stace look lovely in her Flower Bomb Dress and purple velvet headband, both from Alannah Hill, and Target black heels?

There's no need to feel left out, there's still time to join the party, just follow the instructions here.

And what about the host, I hear you ask? Ah! You'll have to check back later!
