I went to my friend Liz's
Mad Men party last week. I haven't even seen the show, but any excuse to dress up is fine by me (especially when there's a theme involved). It was so much fun! Everyone got really into it and some of her friends showed up in gorgeous vintage dresses and fancy up-do's. There were lots of cocktail mixers and a little guide above the bar that had
popular 1960s drink recipes, like the
Manhattan and
Whiskey Sour--very appropriate! I also liked that she had her record player set to swing music. Here are some photos from the night. Plenty of fake cigarettes and cupcakes to go around.

I was in charge of the cupcakes, naturally. I made the icing a pretty Tiffany blue and sprinkled glittery sugar sprinkles on top:
Also, I don't know how I ever lived without one of these:

Now that Liz has her own apartment, she's been planning all kinds of fun themed parties. I'm really looking forward to 80's Prom and the murder mystery parties.
I haven't even seen an episode of
Mad Men yet, but it's on my to-watch list, if only for the wonderful styling and costumes! Have any of you watched the show before?
