It was no surprise seeing Besty Johnson's love of style and boundry breaking ensambles transform into a world that I can not live without. and that would be the WORLD OF BETSY JOHNSON. She has become so prominant in the world of fashion that you can not call yourself a real girly girl until you have found yourself thinking WWBD? What Would Betsy Do? How would she pull these pink stockings with these diamond studded pumps with my purple mini denim skirt. Sound ridiculous?....Think again it sounds like something Besty would do.

God Bless you Betsy for making it OK to wear flowers stripes and leopard in one dress.

Go a step further and translate these fashion elements and making it into a party. Create table linens of lace and leapord print throw pillows as an accent. Hang pink flower balls and plug the bubble machine in. Make fun food combinations that you would not normally think of like jalapeno stuffed with peanut butter and mojitos made with pink lemonade and blackberry's......add fresh mint from the garden. Create a party full of life and Whimsy.

Time for Tea!

Never have I been so impressed by someones interpretation of Lewis Carols Alice and Wonderland's Mad hatter theme. His stories have always captured my thoughts and inspired my visions of thinking outside the box. Here this photographer Jessica claire http://www.jessicaclaire.net had some fun with an assortment of timepieces and tea party elements.
Not only do the props make a statement in this photo Montage, but the scenery and idea of endless possibilities in the shady, isolated spot under some over grown Willow Trees. There is something breathless about romance and nature. When I was younger the mystery that a garden provides leaves much for the imagination. So next time you think of having a tea party think OUTSIDE the box and really go outside. Whether it's tea with your little girl or a romantic engagement with your girlfriends have some fun with the idea of "stopping time" and appreciating the whimsical things that outside has to offer.
