Coffee With Cream: 1st Family of Fashion Royal Prince Maasai's Baby S...: When the first family of fashion's celebrity designer Linda Stokes of LSO Designs and Ceo Michelle Stokes of Clinch Entertainment...

1st Family of Fashion Royal Prince Maasai's Baby Shower July 30th, 2016



When the first family of fashion's celebrity designer Linda Stokes of LSO Designs and Ceo Michelle Stokes of Clinch Entertainment comes together to throw the baby of the bunch, Milan Christian Dior (Euphoric GOLD, Cruise Couture) a baby shower for her 1st bundle of joy, Maasai with Christopher M... It's nothing short of an Royal Event!!!!

Each guest was required to wear Baby Blue, Cream, or Gray Color scheme. Designer and Future Great Grandma, Linda Stokes custom made 1/2 of the families pieces for the royal occasion including the mother and father to be, daughter's Michelle and Nikita, Cousin Reha's, Aunt Sherry's, Close family friends Tatia Calhoun, Dr. Deborah Hyde, and of course her very own couture one-of-a-kind creation. Guest were given unique gifts for the BEST Dressed and baby games such as Swarovski Crystal Wine Glasses, Custom Leather and Mink Fur Writing Pens by Ambiance by Bernadette, Cuban Cigars to a Gucci Inspired Silver Platter.

Guest danced to the sounds of family Dj Jalen "DJ LISTO" Stokes. The five star menu was prepared by my sister Chef Nikita Leone of "Italian Soul Catering". The gourmet course included Seared Salmon with lemon butter sauce, Chicken Bruschetta, Rice Pilaf, Sautéed Mixed Vegetables, Spring Salad with Fresh Strawberries and a Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing, Fresh Fruit, to Nikita's infamous mouth watering Crab Cakes.

The dessert bar featured mini sweet potato pies, mini pound cakes and mini lemon bars provided by Leniece Nichols. The White Peach/Blueberry Cobblers were made by Kitchen Magician. Homemade chocolates designed in baby bottles and rattles by Nonna Leone, NOTHIN BUNDT CAKES provided by the franchise owners Tamika and Clinton Stokes (Sherman Oaks, CA) and assorted Blueberry Jelly Beans, Lollipops, and Sour Candies to top off the assorted candy bar.

You couldn't have a party without the custom designed cocktails by famed Mixologist Victoria Matthews of "Victoria Secret Cocktails". Speciality Drinks included the Christopher Milan and THE MAASAI.

The beautiful floral arrangements we're provided and designed by Celebrity Event Planner Gary Hill. Choice of flowers including Blue Hydrangeas,White Roses, Dahlias, Baby Breath, and my favorite Orchids.      
When it came down to choosing a bakery I decided to keep the                                    family tradition going. The butter pound cake with a light key lime filling tasted just as amazing as it appeared. It was close to the heart being that Sharon custom made my baby shower cake when I was pregnant with Milan as well as catering her very first birthday party.


What other way to welcome the newest member of our family into the world but to welcome him with style, grace, and an abundance of LOVE.

I would like to THANK a host of family, and friends that came  out and flew in to celebrate the anticipated birth of my first grand child MAASAI. You showed up and styled out! On behalf of my entire family, we all Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!!!!! #NeverHaveYourCoffeeWithoutTheCream #MichelleStokes #CoffeeWithCream #FashionBlogger #ClinchEntertainment #ClinchBranded #SpecialEventsPlanner #DominiqueDeveraux.BlogSpot.Com #BornFly #FirstFamilyOfFashion #CEO #BrandSpecialist  #LaunchThursday #RoyalPrinceMaasai'sBabyShower #LindaStokes #LSODESIGNS +Michelle Stokes  +Norris Dorsey +Nikita Leone @norrisdorsey @nikitaleone @listokes @hillg367 @paulhardin1 #LenieceNichols #NonnaLeone #VictoriaMatthews #KitchenMagician #SharonGreer #ItalianSoulCatering #GaryHill #1stFAMILY
