Last Saturday there was a little baby shower celebration for our dear friend {Sabrina}. {Sabrina} is having a little boy in May. A few girls decided to throw her a very small baby shower with a Pacific Northwest (PNW) theme. The location was perfect – Lot 3 in Bellevue. Think hipster plaid, mason jars, comfort food, eclectic flowers, twine, mustaches, and coffee beans. Here is a glimpse of the baby festivities…

Hello. Happy New Year’s Eve Eve. 2014 is almost over. I would give this year a 7 1/2 out of 10. That’s not too bad and we can even round-up. It was a year full of experiences, friendships {good ones too}, love, loss, growth, and strength. I learned to “be in the moment” and “be present” more. Time is such a valuable thing. I cherish the time with my family and friends and realize that it takes time to heal and grow. I’ve enjoyed sharing a glimpse of my style and life with you. Thank you for reading all the sparkle. Here is a glimpse of the most popular posts for 2014…

The Holiday Season is upon us and there are fancy Holiday Parties to attend. My firm hosted our annual holiday party for 2014. Location: Kerloo Cellars | Seattle. Designed by my firm Gensler. Here is a glimpse of the glitz and glam…
In Lieu of my weekly {Week in Pictures} I decided to dedicate Sunday’s post to my friend {Sara}. Last weekend we celebrated her Bachelorette Party – Last Fling Before the Ring. I’m so very excited for her wedding this month. Months ago I took photos for her Save the Dates {See blog post }. She looked so beautiful the night of her bachelorette party. Her dress was sequined and sparkly – she was the perfect bachelorette. Here is a glimpse of our night…
Yesterday was the perfect day for a night boat cruise. I remember a year ago around this time, designers at my firm gathered together for a happy hour cruise around Seattle’s Lake Union. {See blog post 7 Knots} My favorite furniture/fabric rep and personal friend Esther Du Graf invited designers from my firm for a dinner and drinks cruise hosted by herself, husband William and beautiful daughter Isabella. It was absolutely amazing – a perfect Summer night! We boarded the ESTHER WILLIAMS {a combination of her name and her husbands name + nod to famous American actress and swimmer Esther Williams of the 1950’s}. Their yacht is absolutely stunning – a 1956 fifty-four foot Chris Craft – so classic and beautiful. Here is a glimpse of our summer night…
Thank you Esther + Family. You spoiled us. Perfect Summer Night.
Last Saturday, My friends {Keysha}, {Marcy} and I hosted an intimate baby shower for our dear friend {Ruta}. I must say she is the cutest pregnant woman I have ever seen! Lots of laughs, cupcakes, and cute baby outfits. Ruta is due in May. We can’t wait to meet the little guy. Here is a glimpse…
Happy Saturday! Put your party dress on and celebrate. xoxo – SADV
On Saturday we had a triple bridal shower called the Glitz & Glam Tea Party for three lovely ladies {Jennifer} + {Rachel} + {Sara}. It was a party to celebrate love with a little sparkle sprinkled in. We are so happy for all three ladies. We wish them nothing but the best. Here is a glimpse of the Glitz & Glam Tea Party…
