The party was absolutely delightful, people were so brilliantly dressed up, and the venue was really lovely. Originally i thought my best friend had lost the plot when she settled on an ocean theme in the middle of Autumn. But the venue was sufficiently heated, and delightfully decorated with blow up pineapples, beach balls, and fishing nets.
Below is the cake, which was made by the wonderful mother and step father of the birthday girl, and is one of the many cakes in the birthday cake edition of Woman's Weekly. It was DELICIOUS, a vanilla sponge with a meringue and boysenberry filling. Moist and creamy and mmmm.
I was very happy with my outfit choice for this party, i think i chose quite well. I stuck to the theme but managed a sexy/elegant look (hopefully). The dress was a teal 70's maxi dress from Tractordog Vintage, and the shoes are Tsubi (i paid a grand total of $40 at the Bondi Beach markets). I went as the ocean, with strips of green satin cut into seaweed shapes pinned into my hair, a shell around my neck and pearls on my fingers. It was fun.
The gorgeous blond lass on the right is my best friend Alice, and the birthday girl, dressed as a very sexy mermaid in a 70's skirt and a bikini top hand made by her gran.
