I'm still waiting for my invitation to Diddy's next White Party. In the meantime I think I'll host a party of my own, right here right now. It's a blue party, and you're all invited. Maybe it'll be a pool party, Palm Springs style, with chic gals in retro bikinis and Sinatra-hot guys sipping martinis. Sky and aqua meet pink and black for a swinging shindig. Just add water for a guaranteed good time.
Or maybe it'll be just us girls. I'm sure there's a bride somewhere we can toast. Dusky shades of hydrangea--Nichole calls it 'whisper blue'--will mingle with silk and lace. Elegant, refined, a chance to slip into those Louboutins that only your besties truly appreciate. And perhaps this event will simply have to take place in Paris--plane tickets and suites at the Georges V are on me.
Finally, maybe we should make it a family affair? Bring the kids, bring your granny, bring a big bouquet of indigo delphinium in a bottle glass blue vase. I'll set up croquet and badminton in the garden, the Huz will fire up the barbecue, and we'll all raise a glass of blackberry wine to the high days of summer. Have you got your invitation yet? It's in the mail, sealed with a kiss.

These blues are so pretty and soothing! And I love the name "whisper blue" - I'd love to paint my bedroom in such a hue!

I think there's a good chance Diddy is going to be inspired by you and change the hue of his soiree.

~~~Sigh~~~ Especially the Italian Marie Claire Maison room, in no small part due to the chandelier.
