Post-Wedding Picnic, PRECIOUS!

Love what this cute aunt & uncle did for newlyweds - a post-wedding picnic! Filled with some favorite treats, they included La Plates Gingham Plates + a few Frost Cups. Thanks for letting us be a part of the special day!

Adoring Acrylic / Lucite

If you follow La Plates on Pinterest, you'll often see us pinning images to our Acrylic + Lucite Board. We sell all kinds of acrylic & lucite, but our obsession goes much deeper... On a recent trip to visit some of my besties in the Bahamas, I couldn't help but snap a few photos of these fab pieces. The entire house was amazing (Marianna Lane Interiors), but I only went snap crazy on these crystal clear gems:

HOOPLA...how do I love thee?

We have been admirers of HOOPLA since they launched their spa in July 2012...then we got to know the owners and it's been love ever since. Seriously, they are amazing entrepreneurs AND the gals you want for besties!

We are thrilled to be having a trunk show at HOOPLA this week week - Thursday 5/1 and Friday 5/2 from 10am-2pm. Stop by for 10% off HOOPLA services AND 10% off La Plates purchases. Not in KC? Not to worry, use code HOOPLA10 - but be sure to stop by for a pedi next time you're in KC, they are amazing! {2708 West 53rd Street, Fairway, KS 66205}

{discount code expires on 5/2/14, at the conclusion of the trunk show}

Spring Fling!

We've stepped away for a quick R & R trip for Spring Break 2014. While away, you should shop away with discount code: SPRING10! Expires 4.1.14

Beach Swag Bag

We've been working with a soon-to-be mother-in-law that rocks! She wants the bride and all her friends and family to be set for a weekend at her beach house. Checkout what we put together for the upcoming bachelorette party - can't imagine the Oscar swag was much better!

 After a few conversations, we came up with all the items the bride & her posse would need for the bachelorette weekend...

 A fab beach bag, monogrammed with each gal's initials.

 A hat with a custom logo we whipped up for the weekend - we used this on cocktail napkins & cups too.

 A fab makeup bag - 2 in one!

 These gorgeous cork & metallic gold are going to be the envy of all of Jupiter Island!

While these gals are going to have lots of fun, we want to keep them hydrated in style.

Wrapped and ready to make the trip from chilly Kansas to sunny Florida - can't wait to hear about all the fun!

Do you ever have one of those days that just doesn't work right - that was yesterday. Thought all was going well, then lost our internet connection - just a bit of a headache when you run an online biz. Anywho we're back on track, but we decided to make our iThings deal run through tomorrow while we catch up around here. If you have an android phone, just check our Monogrammed Celly dropdown & see if we carry your style phone.
