Ooh La La! The Secret to the Chicest Birthday Parties in Town

Whether you need a few extra special elements to create the perfect birthday celebration for your special angel, or you want someone to design and plan a super stylish fete, Clafoutis is ready to serve your festive needs. An e-boutique and full party planning firm established by French New Yorker (by way of Tokyo) Anne Ligeard Murat, Clafoutis will help you create the sweetest, chicest bash you could ever imagine. Click through to see what we mean!

Keeping it Classy

Murat herself is far too refined (and polite) to say it, but we aren't: parties plastered with licensed character products are kind of tacky. That doesn't mean Clafoutis is anti-characters; in fact, many of Murat's designs are inspired by creations for the page, stage and screen. But Murat's work manages to capture the spirit or essence of these fictional beings and narratives, instead of hitting her audience over the head with a theme. (She actually has tremendous faith in the power of children's imaginations, and believes that a well-executed suggestion of a character — such as a cookie of Elsa's dress in that particular Frozen blue — is just as, if not more effective than having Elsa's face everywhere. "It's all about the power of make believe," she says.
