{Friday Faves} The Etsy Taste Test

Friday, December 24th, 2010 by admin

I don’t know about you, but I find Etsy can be wholly overwhelming. Love the site, but sometimes I just want to look at things that appeal to me without having to scroll through page after page. Well, maybe the lovely people at Etsy were feeling the same way because they recently launched their “taste test.” It’s a quick quiz like process (it’s all pictures) that creates pages of products based on the things you like. The first question looks like this, but if you don’t see anything that appeals to you, you can refresh the options and try again. It’s a lovely thing, and a great way to start dropping those Valentine Day hints. Yea I said it, Christmas is almost so done for the year. Enjoy the holiday!

Steals and Deals on Glam Necklaces for Your Bridesmaids

Monday, December 20th, 2010 by admin

Right now is such a great time to think about buying gifts for your bridesmaids. Even if you wedding is next fall, there are so many deals and great pieces to be had. If you happen to be an advance planner, or someone who resolves to be every year, this is one thing you can easily (and inexpensively) knock off your list.

{Fashioning Weddings} Wrapped Up In Marc by Marc

Monday, December 6th, 2010 by admin

This lovely little Marc by Marc Jacobs beachy scarf inspired today’s post. Coral is so major for spring,and I liked the non-typical pairing of coral back to grey here. It’s a refreshing take on a color that gets a whole lot of wear in the bridal world.

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Red & White

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 by admin

I love this time of year because the special edition candy cane ice cream is finally back in stores. I’m not a huge fan of peppermint in general, but put it in a vat of wholesome ice cream goodness and I am all about it. So, in the holiday spirit, this week’s inspiration board was inspired by the red and white stripe treat we all know, and love (at least in some form or another).

Color Theme of the Week – Red & Pink

Thursday, November 11th, 2010 by admin

I’ve kind of got pink on the brain. This is something I thought I would NEVER (ever, ever) say, but it seems preparing for a baby girl has already changed me. So this week it’s pink and red.

Color Theme of the Week – Hot Pink and Tan

Thursday, October 28th, 2010 by admin

I am a big fan of taking a soft neutral color and mixing it with a bright bold one. Perfect for any locale.

{Friday Faves} For The Girls

These robes by Pretty Plum Sugar are the bomb, and would be fun to give as gifts to your bridesmaids.  All the getting ready pictures would come out even better, plus it really is something your girls could use again.
