My beautiful son Arda has severe food allergies therefore has missed out on a lot of his friends and families birthday functions. Which is why when I style their birthdays I put in a little extra for them. I styled this party for my daughter Asya’s 2nd birthday and had everything safe for Arda. The beautiful Angel at ElevatorLoveStory has always kept him safe! All her deserts and cakes are made specially for Arda . Wheat, gluten, egg and nut free. . I think everything should be done in style :-) parties are one of those things.. I really enjoyed putting this party together.. my kids were kept safe and happy!*****VENDOR CREDITS: – Styling & concept, table gown, paper pom poms, personalized & gold chocolate wrappers, favor boxes, invitations, and gold cups: Sibella – Cakes, cupcakes, cake pops & all sweet treats: ElevatorLoveStory – Photography: Sibella & Neil Winch Photography – Asya’s tutu: Peri Bonjuk – Sibella’s tutu: Poppy & RoseHostess with the Mostess®

The Chrome Welded Rucksack seems up to the task: waterproof, accommodates up to a 15" laptop, U-lock pocket, and includes a removable laptop sleeve. More
