Just a little eye-candy for the shoe lovers out there. I love the ruffles, and even though it's a high heel the fact that it has no straps gives me the impression that these are some of the most comfortable dress shoes out there. I could be wrong, but isn't that every girl's dream? Stunning heels that never hurt? Yeah, I like that kind of dreams. Happy Friday everyone. Have a great weekend!
Nothing like a great pair of shoes to make a girl feel pretty from head to toe. Thank you Versace, thank you.
If I do let it grow out a bit, I know I'll have more hair style options for her big day and I'll be able to play around with cute little flower hair pins such as these. I know it's not about me, the wedding is about her, but I am one of her bridesmaids and a girl always wants to look nice for pictures, right? Right! In the meantime, the search begins for nice hair styles and hair accessories.
If you're having a "lovebirds" wedding theme this spring, you may be interested in taking a look at this beautifully handcrafted wedding cake topper by the very talented Afsaneh Tajvid, the artist behind the Joojooland Etsy shop. While visiting her shop, you will come across the most adorable miniature sculptures, original pieces of handcrafted jewelry and colorful illustrations that would make great gifts for your bridesmaids and flower girls. Her use of color and imagination are always of great inspiration to me.
Blue is such an easy color to incorporate to any beach wedding, but I had never thought about incorporating the beach into your blue! I think the above hair pins do just that. The unique hair accessories allow you to express your unique stile while providing a subtle touch of blue (turquoise) in your hair.
I spent about 6 hours last weekend crafting holiday gifts for my family and friends. Amongst my creations was this beautiful & stylish hair pin. I couldn't decide which one of my sisters to give it to, and I really wanted to keep it for myself! It's so pretty. My little camera doesn't take very good pictures, but when you see it person, the beads sparkle so pretty and the fabric is so soft and silky. Anyway, I have enough fabric to make more of this design, so I thought I'd add this one to my Etsy shop for a lucky customer to enjoy. If you think this would make a great accessory for your bridesmaids, send me a note and let me know how many you'll need. I'd be happy to work on a custom order for you.
I just added these new cupcake toppers to my Etsy shop. Actually, they're multi-purpose foodpicks. They look great on cupcakes and pastries - ideal for a Paris theme bridal shower! Or if you're having a wine tasting, these would look great on a cheese platter sitting next a bottle of French wine.
The flags are made from Cavallini paper, attached to a toothpick and accented with a small microbead at the top for a very subtle sparkle. They sell in sets in 12, but if you need other quantities just shoot me an e-mail!
As people prepare for the holidays, and brides begin to celebrate their fall and winter weddings, there are other brides-to-be looking to find inspiration for their spring weddings. If you're one of them, this post is for you! One of my finds this afternoon was this lovely genuine Turquouise carved birdie and adjustable chain necklace by FreshyFig. I immediately envisioned it as a lovely and apropriate accent to any outdoor spring wedding attire. Who knows, maybe this post will be the reason why your "Something blue" can now be checked off your list.
Why settle for plain white satin ring pillows when you can have one that fits your color scheme and theme? These are just a few of my favorites from Etsy seller IDoTakeU. There are other adorable hancrafted wedding items in her shop (looking for handcrafted bouquets? she's got'em!), so stop by her shop view her selection and become inspired!
What a unique and elegant alternative to a fresh-flower bouquet. For more information, visit LostMyKitty.Etsy.com
You know, they say necessity is the mother of invention and I truly believe it's true! I wanted to make my sister's birthday present this year, I know she needs business cards but that would be too easy. Think Dio, think...what can you make that she'll love? I know she loves purses and accessories but I don't have a sewing machine and I am not about to hand-stitch a purse. So I came into my studio and pulled out a variety of materials that inspired me. I was determined to use up the materials I have had on the shelves for years, which brought me to my stash of beads. I have been on a roll crafting and creating so many goodies during the last week, that it's becoming more and more difficult to choose which items I want to give her, which ones I want to keep, and which ones I want to post for sale at my Etsy shop.
I can't help but to thank Sarah Jessica Parker for introducing us to the flower craze as she played the fashionable Carrie Bradshaw in the HBO hit show Sex the City. (Gosh I miss that show!)On her site you will find a collection of truly unique jewelry, gifts, and floral accessories accented with Swarovsky crystals, in a variety of shapes and fun colors that you and your bridesmaids will love! - Happy shopping!
Today's featured designer is Elle F. Designs, a designer specializing in the creation of boutonniere's, center pieces and cake toppers. These are two of my favorite items currently available for purchase at her etsy shop. 
Now how does that old saying go?
A much more beautiful option, would be these fresh water pearls and sparkling blue topaz drop earrings by James Allen.
