accessorize!

I know, I know...we have been short on posts, but hopefully some beautiful accessories will make you perk up on this Thursday morning.

First in line is this adorable clutch from Love Parcel. It's only $48! I love that it has a handle, so it's easy to carry.

Because your handbag was so inexpensive, you can totally justify purchasing these BEAUTY-ful shoes from Valentino! You can pick them up at Neiman Marcus.
Now, of course you need a bracelet. I love this bangel from Anthropologie. It's so delicate, but definitely a statement piece!

At too finish off, I think the whole look would be amazing paired with navy blue. This cute dress is the Rebecca dress from J. Crew.

Etsy treasures!

It's been a while since we have done a post on one of our favorite things...Etsy.  

The first treasure is this sweet shop, For The Love Of All Things Creative.  These beautiful glass creations are definitely something I have not seen before...and she also does custom work if you are looking for something special.

Next up is Kelly Vivar.  Her line is called Inu Jewelry.  It's beautiful, delicate, hammered silver and brass.  I love this set of five rings, but there is so may different things to choose from.  Again, this artist will make custom pieces, perfect for your wedding party.

Finally, Paloma's Nest.  We have posted about them before, and they always have such unique treasures.  These monogram bowls would be perfect for your bridesmaids....a great way to store their earrings, rings and other jewelry.

for the guys

I always have a hard time finding great ties for the husband. We don't necessarily have alot of selection in town and to be honest he's picky. I found these ties on MeandMatilda, they have some really nice ties and ones that he won't scowl at...at $18.99 they are super priced too.

we love comments!

We really like to hear from readers...it's so exciting to know that there are people out there who are interested in what we have to say! We recently had a comment from Mikiye. She has a fantastic shop on Etsy, that sells all kinds of goodies. She's got beautiful hairpieces and jewelry, and her prices are soooo reasonable! Here is just a sampling, but be sure to take a browse through her shop!

today I'm loving

Right now I'm totally into these cool pillow boxes from Field and Sea. They are perfect for packaging jewelry, small trinkets or even gift cards. A perfect thing to think of on this first day of May....Mother's Day is right around the corner!

totally handmade pillow boxes are 4 for $5.00

how do you choose?

I'm sure some of you out there have heard of Etsy, if you haven't, you need to check them out. Etsy is a marketplace for crafters to buy and sell just about everything. You can find amazing artwork, unique clothing, jewelery, paper goods, ceramics....like I said, there is something for everyone. And wouldn't you know it, they have a weddings section. There is so much to choose from so be sure to check out Etsy Weddings Blog. Basically, they do a lot of the legwork for you, and find all the cool stuff. I've shown a selection of some stuff I've found through Etsy Weddings Blog, and some I searched out myself.


This adorable ring bowl from Paloma's Nest, what a unique way to carry the rings! They have a wide range of ceramics that can be custom printed with your text. How cute would this be for a wedding proposal with "will you marry me" written inside with the ring.

These Fortunate fortune cookie soaps would be an awesome wedding favour. They are from Mamameo.


Custom soy wedding candles from Jenny Sherbie.

I am in LOVE with this Peruvian Chalcedony triple chain toggle bracelet from Brooklyn Designs. What a great gift for your bridesmaids (or feel free to send to me!).

You can also get custom stamps made from Sweet Papery. They will make anything into a stamp, and these address stamps are perfect for your thank you cards.

So please be sure to spend some time surfing over at Etsy. Support those small business people and crafters that are working so hard to make something unique.
