Louise Wackerman sent me these photos of this amazing owl themed birthday party which she helped her friend host for her daughter's first birthday. Her friend is an owl-lover who added several awesome owl details to the party like owl invites, owl napkin rings and cupcake toppers.

There are so many other adorable details of the party that I totally love such as those stuffed owl favors and owl vases. Louise has graciously shared the tutorial for the owl favors on her blog for the inspired ones. Click here for the step by step instructions.

If I have to pick my very favorite from the party then it has to be the photo booth. It looks so much fun! The colorful owl masks seem to be hit among both kids and adults. What are you favorites of the party?

DIY: Owl Sandals





Remember these owl sandals by Anthropologie I blogged a while ago? It was love at first site. If you loved them too and want them then this DIY tutorial is for you. Ryan made her own pair of owl sandals inspired by Anthropologie's expensive pair ($148!) at a fraction of the cost (under $40). I hope you try them, they'll look great with shorts, skirts or dresses.
