Photo Love {Inspiration}: Listen to the music and enjoy the party

December 13, 2010
*Last week to enter All Clad, Le Creuset giveaway!  Enter here and tweet daily!*

And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Day Is Don

How is it that Slim Aarons so perfectly captures the life I lead now with photos that are decades old?  I guess this just means pool parties and chic gatherings are timeless!

I had a truly fabulous time at my belated birthday barbecue gathering.  I was a little stressed out preparing all the food, but loved the results.  I just love any excuse to gather my friends from different crowds, have them meet each other, and provide everyone with some tasty eats and drinks.  We were able to book the grills closest to the pool so though no one took a dip, they definitely had the option!  Mr. Spend ‘n Chomp was also happy that several people commended his chill but head bop worthy playlist.  It was a lovely, casual affair replete with guacamole, chocolate fudge cake, and champagne.

Food + friends + good music = a fabulous party

What made your last party fabulous?

Have a lovely week!

    Sounds like a wonderful gathering! I think any party is fabulous with fun guests and lots of conversation (and bottles of wine)!

    Happy belated birthday – sounds like a wonderful time. Our last party was our wedding, and the fact that everyone we cared about was there made it truly special.

    I was dressed like an elf. So that was pretty fabulous I guess. That picture is making me long for a nice warm weather pool party though!

    Oh I want to party like you do – by the pool – feels like it’s been freezing in London for so long. I too had my early bday party this weekend. Dinner and drinks with old friends and new. Was perfect. Yay for birthdays! x

    I LOVE that photo!!! They are timeless, aren’t they? Wish I could have one right about now but that wouldn’t really fly here in the cold & snow 🙂

    Glad you had a fabulous time xoxo

    last party, we had a pj night, and we had friends we ‘lost’, friends we seldom catch up with and new friends whom we have never met. At the end of the party, and through this year, we had maintained contact with most of them and became closer than ever. that was why it was fabulous!

  • Heather Taylor December 14, 2010 at 04:52

    Your party sounds beyond fabulous and in the region of being marvelous! I love the menu you had, mmm cake. My last party was made wonderful by my friends and many, many pitchers of Long Island Iced Tea haha!

  • Katie December 14, 2010 at 06:30
