This year I decided to host a little soiree to celebrate a special group of girlfriends that have supported me this year – close friends and our Sacramento Street contributors (a new lovely lady debuting next week!). Minted was kind enough to provide a Valentine’s Day party in a box, which was perfect for the occasion – striped straws, signs, colorful paper goods for the table, and tags.


It was fun dreaming up this girlie-girl tabletop – a bit out of my normal (neutral colored) comfort zone but it definitely had to happen for this Valentine’s Day brunch. My essentials for any brunch tabletop – clean cut tulips from the grocery store, bright linen napkins, candy in the colors your decorating the table with and lastly, a fun drink to serve guests as they arrive (in this case blood orange soda with prosecco).


One of my favorite things to do for parties is to have something special for guests – in this case, I worked with Minted on creating personalized journals for each of my girlfriends. It was fun to add them to the tabletop as their place card.


When you combine love, laughter and amazing friends around a table, there really isn’t anything better! This brunch made me realize I need to host more parties to celebrate the girlfriends I love.


Now for the fun part! Minted is giving away a $150 gift certificate good for any Valentine’s Day items! Perfect for the holiday that is right around the corner


Here’s how to enter the Minted Valentine’s day giveaway:

Come Join Us Thursday http://www.sacramentostreet.com/2011/09/youre-invited-come-join-us-thursday/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=youre-invited-come-join-us-thursday http://www.sacramentostreet.com/2011/09/youre-invited-come-join-us-thursday/#comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +0000 Caitlin http://www.sacramentostreet.com/2011/09/20/youre-invited-come-join-us-thursday/ Chloe Rose is tucked away in the middle of booming Union Street, and let me tell you, once you discover it you will want to make it a weekly ritual to go see the latest inventory. When I first walked in it I didn’t know where to start – from the fabulous(and affordable) cloths, to the jewelry that had my heart pounding, to the table of scarves and denim . . . I was in heaven. Not to mention that the owner, Marissa, is so sweet and adorable. I just want to pop into the store to chat with her. She is so darling and down to earth. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that I’m obsessed with her wallpaper and “For Like Ever” poster in the dressing room.

This Thursday Erin from Apartment 34 and I will be helping kick-off her one-year anniversary party – we’ll be styling guests, drinking champagne, offering a raffle and providing stellar gift bags. Of course it wouldn’t be a party without a photo booth! I hope all of you stop by to say hello and mix and mingle with other bloggers and guests. It’s going to be one heck of a party.

Check out Apartment 34 tomorrow for a little teaser on what we may (or may not!) be wearing!Hope to see you all Thursday!

Yes, you read it right – we’ve planned a girls trip and we can’t wait to meet all of you. Erin, Camille, Lisa and I are ready to hit the streets of New York for some shopping, good food, meetings and get togethers with new and old friends. We thought that a cocktail party would be a great way to meet all of you while we’re in town. Come join us Sunday, July 31 and be sure to RSVP, because we’d love to accommodate everyone.

See you soon and let the packing commence!

Although there is fog in the city, it doesn’t mean that we don’t get to enjoy summer weather – let’s just say you’ve got to get creative. Like hopping in a car and driving up north to Napa. But on the rare summer days that are warm in the city, you’ll find me soaking in the sun in the back yard with my a good book and enjoying one of these delicious mojitos. My best friend from high school and I always meet up for them at our favorite joint in Portland, but this year we might have to make them ourselves. I can tell you one thing, I’ll definitely be indulging in these over the next few months!

Last night’s SF cocktail soiree went off without a hitch – it was lovely to meet new bloggers and of course catch up with old friends. Check out some photos on Alicia and Taylor’s blog. I look forward to the next (yes, it’s already in the works)!

Today I’m off to spend the weekend in Portland. Looking forward to fresh snow, my favorite restaurants, spending quality time with my wonderful mom and hosting a baby shower. It’ll be a jam packed weekend, but I’m excited.

Hope all of you have a beautiful weekend where ever you might be.

xo, Caitlin

I couldn’t be more excited for the happy couple. Mostly I’m relieved that I no longer have to keep it a secret anymore . . . it was rough. I had so much fun planning the night with her fiance and I got the pleasure of helping him pick out her beautiful ring. I’m still giddy with excitement!

I hope all of you have a wonderful start to your week, whether you’ve got the day off or you’re working. I look forward to a busy week (when is not?) but I’m especially excited about our San Francisco blogger cocktail soiree on Thursday night!

So we enlisted the fabulous Lindsay to help us find a beautiful space for this month’s gathering. Well ladies (and gents), we’ve hit a home run – the owner of Lalola has reserved their private room for us on Thursday, February 24 at 6pm. They’ll be providing appetizers for our entire group and giving us happy hour prices the entire night. We even have some doorprizes in the works from Gilt City and Yes to Carrots!

If you can’t make it on time, don’t fret – when you get a group of bloggers together we end up mixing and mingling for at least a couple of hours. So, if you’re free come stop by and we might even have some gift bags in the works!

So, mark your calendars! Look forward to seeing all of you again.

Getting back in the swing of things after the holidays is always rough, but this week flew by – I can’t believe it’s Friday. What a week! Tonight I’m getting all dolled up for a cocktail soiree with San Francisco bloggers (if you live in SF please come join us). The rest of the weekend will consist of celebrating one of my good friends birthdays, keeping myself warm by hanging out at home, booking Spring travel plans and going on a secret mission for a special someone (wish I could tell you!).


Have a lovely weekend!


xo, Caitlin

This Friday Katie, Taylor, Alicia and I decided that it was about time to have a San Francisco blogger cocktail party. I can’t wait to meet up with some new friends. The question is, what should I wear? Everyone keeps asking me – are you wearing a skirt, dress, sequins, leopard or jeans? Ladies, I’ve got no earthly idea what my outfit will be, but I can assure you I’ll probably be wearing jeans. Do you have any cute go to outfits you wear out on the town? And for those of you coming, what are ya’ll wearing?

I’m counting down the hours until I get to meet everyone. See you Friday!

ps. And the WINNER of the January sponsorship is . . . Jeanette from JVW Home Design. Congratulations!!

Mark your calendars! Because on Friday, January 7th I’m going to be meeting Alicia, Katie and Taylor for casual drinks at lovely Taverna Aventine in Jackson Square – one of my favorite parts of San Francisco. The four of us thought it would be fun to invite all of you! I’ve made so many amazing friends through blogging and I hope you can come join us for a little cocktail hour. Stop on by, we’ll be meeting at 6:30pm sharp – and we’ll all be dressing up (what can I say I’ll take any excuse to dress up)!
