So this post is a bit belated; sometimes it takes me a little while to get it together during the week...especially when you start it off with a bang! To celebrate the Chinese New Year (it's the year of the Dragon - rawrr) and one of my favorite friend's heritage we held a mini shindig on Monday night. Party favors were red, guests were told to wear red and if they decided to contribute something to the gathering, to only bring red liquids. It was quite the color coordinated affair. Take a looksie down below.
So many chopsticks.
Even more.
A light installation of laterns created by the host.
The most fun candies you've ever seen.
And culturally confused Hello Kitty accessories. Went to Chinatown in Philly (mini road trip to see much beloved friends) to purchase New Year's decorations and ended up with Japanese trinkets? Odd, but we'll take it.
The lady of the night with the entree of the night- veggie steamed dumplings. Note the lantern dangling in the shot and her very awesome vintage Chinese silk jacket. Also, the red lippy. We were not kidding around with this color scheme.
