Hi Everyone,

It's really been a sweet week, and yes - pun intended! On Monday, theSugarfina XO Gray Malin Candy Bento Box® was officially launched, and to celebrate Sugarfina hosted a VERY fun 3-D bash. What do I mean by 3-D? Please allow me to elaborate.....

IRL PHOTO OPP

Starting with the opportunity to be in your own Flamingo Balloonsphoto, the Sugarfina team recreated the tropical backdrop and brought in the same type of balloons I used in the shot from my Up & Away series.

Here I am, above, with Erin Ziering and her adorable little girl, then below with Sugarfina founders and couple, Josh and Rosie,Co-Founder and CEO andCo-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, respectively.

Needless to say, plenty of the guests got in on the fun! Up first, we've got Taye Hansberry of Stuff She Likes and Ashley Torres of Everyday Pursuits...

And, A Whimsy Wonderland's duo Jenna & Cortney along with pal, Cyn of Hot Pink Pineapples.

Up next

COME ON UP!

I got to work signing ourSugarfina XO Gray Malin Candy Bento Box® for the guests, who also entered to win a medium framed print of Champagne Balloons by answering the raffle question - What beach was this image shot? Oh, and to keep everyone happy whilst they waited, there was a pletora of sweets laden in gold to satiate their appetites.

From left to right, these lovelies were definitely enjoying...: Jessica of Miss More Style, Julie of It's le Jules, Stuart Brazell, Zia of Hunter Collector, and Samantha of What Would Kiki Wear.

SIPS & SNACKS

Courtesy of the talented libators at Cocktail Academy, we enjoyed an extra colorful cocktail for the evening. Inspired by the HeartBalloons print and it's corresponding Sugarfina sour hearts, the Rainbow Negroni was photographed probably as much as it was consumed!

With glass in hand, the next stop was the tasting station. Rosie made a stop by the station as did Amy of Amy Tangerine with her little cutie!

And, there you have it! From the chance to live within the art to winning a piece and last but not least...consuming it, Sugarfina truly brought our collaboration to life! Thanks to everyone who joined and to all of you, as always, for following along!

Cheers

xx
