Joyful Occasion

Joyful Occasion

Last spring my daughter Bianca Laila had her Bat Mitzvah party. Between choosing dresses, buying make up, and bedazzling shoes, it was one of the most joyful occasions of my life! (If you don’t know what are bedazzled shoes, don’t worry. I didn’t know either. See on the photo)

Arlene Rosenthal helped me a lot to get the party started! She really knows her stuff! And then, I reached out to some friends and professionals Cristiane Camargo Palaia, aka Krika, who does party events and decor;

and to cake artist Renata Papadopoulos. After months of planning, we had a great time and really enjoyed the party!

In preparation for the occasion, I had lots of special moments spending time with my daughter, like when we went to choose the cake.

There are certain things in life that have a simple majesty. They are sweet, beautiful and utterly perfect in their unassuming magnificence. Renata’s cake is such a wonder.

The after party: eating a piece of cake by the lake. It’s that kind of cake! You want to devour every slice!
