Party Animals

My floral obsession is still in full force and I just got some beautiful rose covered paper for Monikapolitan orders. Floral things make me happy and I'm hoping it makes you guys even happier when you receive your packages. Wrapping paper is my favorite but mostly when it's handmade! Wednesday, I threw a party for Eric because I'm super awesome and need to start building up my party résumé. I also made my own sexy wrapping paper with magazine pages and it turned out so hott. The rest of the photos speak for themselves and there are a lot of them so brace yourselves. I pretty much laughed out loud by myself, like a crazy, lonely, woman while sorting through them all xoxo

Crazy. Wild. Cupcakes.

My brother and his girlfriend made cupcakes this weekend and I just observed because I'm really sick and pretty sure people don't like boogers or coughing germs in their cupcakes. Well, apparently if you divide the bater, put different food coloring in each one and then layer the colors in the cupcake baking sheet, you get RAINBOW CUPCAKES! It blew my mind, I ate one with ice cream and it was crazy good! But lets get real here... it's January 23rd, that's 22 more days until Valentine's Day. Me, myself am not a big fan of Valentine's day unless it involves some cheap wine and home-made meals. I do like the teddy bears and the colorful flowers and all the cute heart things and the red and the pink, but I don't like the importance it plays in some relationships or the expensive gifts or the crowded restaurants. Luckily, at Monikapolitan there will be no crowded restaurants or expensive, overpriced gifts… All you'll find is a good ol' 25% off discount and tons of thoughtful gifts that will show your special someone that you are thinking of them. Awww!

Behind The Scenes- Babypolitan

Babypolitan is developing nicely and as part of the store, we will be offering hand screen printed tees and onesies for babies and little tots. We've been testing out the screen printing process and after a few "trial runs" we finally got the hang of it. You can expect "The Formal Onesie" to be on sale by the end of this week! I'm still puppy-sitting little Truly on the weekdays so my vocabulary consists of "NO!" and "Come HERE!" She is definitely getting comfortable here in my office. This week, I'll be adding more iPhone cases, new sunglasses, watches and some jewelry. Also, NEW GIRL is tonight! Anyone an avid watcher? I'm obsessssed...
