The Style-Architects team had a blast teaming up with one of our favorite brand crushes, Madewell for the release of the MOA store's new, gush-worthy spring line! We spent the evening mingling with fellow Madewell fans, sipping on Prohibition Kombucha, and trying on stacks of our fav new items. We were also ecstatic to meet Alissa, the winner of our #MadewellinMPLS Instagram contest {check out her Michael Jackson-like moves below}, who stopped by to shop with her winnings. If you weren't able to make the event, check out #MadewellinMPLS on Instagram, peep the new spring line here, and swing by Madewell MOA to snag your favs!

Bits + Tips: A Chic and Easy NYE Bar Cart
2014 brought about a lot of new and exciting changes here at SA! We are looking forward to a bright and hopeful 2015 as well. To ring in the New Year and send 2014 out with a bang we styled a {fun and fabulous} bar cart to help you better enjoy some bubbles with all your friends. Whether you are having a gathering of your bests or simply hosting your hunny, showcasing the breath of beverages is not only increasing the credibility of your hosting know-how, but also adds to the festivity of your fête!
1. A signature is a must. Too busy to do the research? Take note from us and try our go-to bubbly recipe: sparkling rosé and St. Germaine! We suggest adding in some berries for extra sweetness and visual interest!
2. Inspire your guests! 2015 is all about new beginnings. Print your favorite quote and throw it in a frame to keep guests excited about the new year!
3. Make it festive. We aren't one for clichés but let's face it, NYE isn't complete without metallic confetti or part-ay blowers! Give your guests something fun to ring in the New Year with!
4. Clean as you go. As the night goes on, things tend to get a little, uh, messy? Keep a towel on the side of your bar for you to quickly wipe up your guests' spills!
Check out the links below to see where you can find each item if you are looking for a bit of last minute inspiration! Otherwise, enjoy the splendor of confetti and cocktails! Have a safe and happy New Years!

LiLu Interiors // FASHION + INTERIORS
Wednesday night, Style-Architects worked with boutique interior design firm, LiLu Interiors on FASHION + INTERIORS 2012. At the event, guests were shown how impeccable fashion and interior design go together like Kate Spade and handbags, like almond milk and lattes, like dark chocolate and red wine - need we go on? Hosted at the International Market Square, FASHION + INTERIORS featured five different interior vignettes expertly designed to reflect the distinct styles of live models, each outfitted with the latest fashions from local boutiques Bombshell, Bumbershute, Doncaster, Hammermade, Melly, and Pumpz & Company. Our team styled the models' ensembles and helped publicize the event. Fashion + Interiors was part of the INSPIRING DESIGN SERIES, a series of informational events hosted by LiLu Interiors to help educate homeowners on a wide variety of interior design topics.
