Looking for teen girl bedroom decor or birthday party ideas for girls? Here is a bedroom makeover and a private shopping birthday party!
We had so much fun celebrating Eve’s 14th birthday last week!
If you have been around here for a little while, then you may remember when I gave Eve a bedroom makeover two years ago, for her 12th birthday.
You can get all the details of her coastal inspired bedroom HERE in this post.
Just for fun – here are few before and after’s from 2021.
BEFORE
AFTER
Here’s one more comparison of the bedroom makeover from 2 years ago:
I am happy to report that even after full TWO years later, Eve is still in LOVE with her coastal bedroom vibe.
You can get all the bedroom makeover details and easy updated links to shop Eve’s bedroom decor sources HERE in this post.
And because, you loved this girl bedroom makeover so much?
I also wrote this follow up post, about “HOW to decorate a coastal themed – beachy bedroom,” without seagull figures and sandcastles everywhere. 🙂
So why a I am sharing this bedroom makeover story?
To give you a little beachy bedroom decor update…
For Eve’s 14th birthday, she requested a new desk that was also a vanity, so that she could sit down and do all the skin care things teen girls do in front of the mirror.
But?
I wasn’t really feeling the need to get rid of her current desk situation.
So?
Instead of buying a new piece of furniture for her bedroom, I found the perfect solution to her “vanity desk” request.
Today, on the blog I am sharing the BEST vanity mirror with Hollywood style lights, complete with wireless charger and bluetooth speaker that Eve fell in love at first use with, along with the rest of her bedroom decor.
Peek that new abstract art print from Lindsay Letters on her floating shelves that are back in stock from Target! (We used two of the 36″ floating shelves sold individually.)
And?
I can’t wait to share the super fun Birthday party idea that we pulled off, in order to surprise Eve with all of her friends!
So, if you have a teen girl in your life…
You are going to want to know about this amazing table top vanity mirror that makes a great gift for any teen girl and this super EASY & FUN teen girl birthday party idea.
Because?
I think you need to steal both the mirror and the party idea.
The Hollywood vanity is THAT great and the 14th birthday party was THAT much fun and THAT easy to throw together!
Follow me friend.
Wait Until You See This Teen Girl Bedroom & Birthday Party
First things first.
I think that I may need this vanity mirror now also. 🙂
It’s that cute and that good.
There is a little shelf on the bottom of the mirror frame, where you can lay your phone down horizontally to charge. The light bulbs are dimmable, and it comes with a smaller round detachable magnification mirror with suction cups on the backside.
The vanity mirror also comes with a USB cord, which we have plugged into the outlet under Eve’s desk.
This vanity mirror was the perfect solution to Eve’s birthday request and makes for super cute desk decor to…because you know that is an important qualifier in my book! 🙂
You can see the vanity mirror HERE on Amazon.
Teen Girl Birthday Party Idea
Now, let’s talk about this super easy birthday party idea for a Teen Girl.
Out of all three of our daughters, Eve is my “shopper.”
It might have something to do with the fact that she is the oldest of our 3 girls and she is entering high school next year.
So when Apricot Lane first opened on Main Street of our small downtown area, I knew she would love it.
In fact?
We attended Apricot Lane’s grand opening together last Spring and tried to help spread the word about the absolute cuteness that this boutique has to offer all ages!
And so?
When I was considering what to do for Eve’s 14th birthday, the thought landed on me to reach out to the shop’s amazing owner, Amy to see if we could host a Mother-Daughter Shopping Event at Apricot Lane!
Amy quickly replied that she would love to host a Birthday Celebration for Eve and we set the date right away!
I knew I wanted to surprise Eve, so I shared with Eve that I was planning a special event for her birthday and I needed the email addresses of her friend’s Mom’s.
Eve was excited to know I was planning something fun.
Even better?
She could invite as many friends as she wanted!
Here’s How Hosting An Apricot Lane Private Shopping Event Works:
*Set the date and time for a 2 hour shopping event.
*Invite your guests and request an RSVP (we used Evite)
*Show up & Shop with your friends!
There are major perks to hosting a private shopping event at Apricot Lane in Bel Air!
The Day Of The Event:
*Amy provides food and drinks for both adults and teens!
(This is so generous and also so helpful)
*ALL SHOPPERS receive 20% OFF their purchases that night!
*The Hostess (in our case, Eve) receives $100 OFF your purchases that night PLUS the 20% off everyone else receives!
*If the party spends over 2,000, the hostess receives an additional bonus of 5% OFF her total purchase.
If you are wondering if there is an Apricot Lane boutique near you, you can look up the store locations HERE.
*Every store owner has the liberty to operate a little differently, but I highly recommend reaching out to your local Apricot Lane store to inquire about the private event hosting opportunities!
If you live in an area that does not have an Apricot Lane Boutique near you, I would also recommend that you reach out to ANY small business owner in your area that has a shop you love to go into and shop. Inquire about the opportunity to host a private shopping event for your girlfriends or a mother daughter event, like we did!
In my experience, small business owners are widely open to brainstorming events that are a WIN WIN for all involved!
I can certainly say that planning this Birthday Shopping Social Surprise for Eve at Apricot Lane was a HUGE WIN.
A win for me as the Mom…because, I literally had to do nothing, besides gather the emails of Eve’s friends Mom’s in order to send out the Evite.
And then?
Simply show up and enjoy shopping with Eve and her friends and her friend’s Mom’s!
One of the best parts to the entire Birthday Shopping Social?
The opportunity to meet some of Eve’s newer friends from school and meet their Mom’s for the first time too!
In a world where most of time is spent driving our girls form one destination to the next only to drop off and über to the next location…it was so nice to actually meet the Mom’s of Eve’s friends face to face and hear about their plans for high school and more!
Also?
Deciding to keep the “where” of the Birthday event a secret, by blindfolding Eve at home and then guiding her into the store, where all of her friends gathered ahead of time made it even more fun!
The Win for Eve was definitely being surprised to a shopping spree at her favorite store with her favorite friends!
If you are interested in planning a private shopping event At Apricot Lane Bel Air, you can contact the store management by sending an email: [email protected] or follow them on Instagram and send them a DM or message them on Facebook!
Big thanks to Apricot Lane Bel Air’s boutique owner, Amy for making Eve’s Birthday SO special!
As we were leaving that night, Amy shared that her vision for Apricot Lane of Bel Air was to provide a boutique shopping experience where Mom’s and Daughter’s could enjoy shopping together!
Mission accomplished Amy!!
THANK YOU!
I hope you enjoyed seeing a little peek into Eve’s new bedroom decor and vanity mirror along with how we celebrated her birthday!
I’ll be signing off for the rest of this week to enjoy some quality time with our family as we spend Spring Break together at our favorite place…the beach!!
Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Holy Week and Easter Sunday friend.
Sunday’s coming!
Living on a prayer,
Heather
