Love Accents and The Finale Party-on-the-Nile.


Hello and welcome to my very special one day/all day "party-in-the-desert" event on the Nile. We are at Lake Nasser, at the banks of the Nile in lower Nubia. It is the worlds largest manmade lake and it stretches for 300 miles. Until a few years ago, the lake was the realm of fishermen and state guardians whose lonely duty is to watch-over the fourteen Nubian temples. I have invited my dearest friends and guests to celebrate and enjoy this heavenly paradise together.


 

Purse."Pandora’s Box" by Love Accents
I Love taking Pandora‘s box with me from daytime to evening...without having to separate the casual from formal. I designed this one-of-a-kind purse to contain all of your secrets. 
Embellish with oriental flower motifs and expertly embroidered with burnished bronze color pearls, sequins and double antique chain with resin stones.

 I love sailing. It is a sport that brings you in contact intimately with one, with yourself and with nature. So, I organized for all my guests to an adventurous event called “Wind Song”...whipers of gentle winds that ruffle the waters of the lake and the ochre sands of the boudless, burnished desert. 

At last, it is late afternoon and  I am really looking forward to a moment of relax with freinds and guest. After all, with all of preparations for this one day/all day "party-in-the-desert" event, I think what we all need is something refreshing. Awaiting for you are little boats with trasparent carbon crystal floor bottom to take you inside. An unforgettable experience...

  I prepared very colorful refreshing cocktails such as; Ice Ment Julips, Strawberry Frappè with Lemon sorbet, Cassis Royale  and Watermelon Black Pepper cocktail. I though maybe you would like to make a toast together with all of us, so here is the recipe for Watermelon Black Pepper cocktail :
Cut 2 pieces of fresh watermelon or
 fresh watermelon juice.
Pour ¾ oz of a simple syrup.
Pour 2 oz Vodka over ice cubes and shake.
Double strain into martini glass and
garnish with black peppercorns.

Enjoy!

Yes this is my kind of party - arty, creative, fabulous and extravagant! :)
Loving the 'desserts only' menu - what else does one eat when in the desert?! :)

The outfit including the sparkly face piece is beyond magic, and your guest list is fantastic.
I will grab one of the outfits the adorable Marsha (at Splendarosa) picked for me and head on down the Nile for this fantastic feast!

Gracie for this and have a wonderful holiday at lake Nasser.

Baccione a te.
