goodie bags

making some really cute goodie bags for my girlfriends that are helping out with wedding stuff...after many hours of scouring Etsy for unique, useable gifts.  starting out with these hand-stamped treat bags by nativebear. 

no peeking if you suspect to receive one!!!

wedding on a budget: shoes

a heel has been chosen.  this striking blue d'orsay style heel is *gorgeous* and exactly my style.  i don't wear satin, i don't wear stilettos, i don't wear strappy.... it is sold out on Heels.com so i may have to hunt it down elsewhere, but i am in LOVE with this damn shoe!  a conservative shift dress and a super sexy shoe, i love it!  xoxo

{a glamorous Priscilla Presley}

so matt and i decided to elope in Las Vegas this fall.  but then we decided we could do a teeny-tiny ceremony for our closests friends and family.  the main things i wanted:  it should be fun and not super-serious, easy, and affordable *gulp*.  we don't really have anything saved for this thing and kind of doing it on the fly like we always do, but i have a feeling it will still feel special, fun, and very "us".  we are doing the Elvis thing in Vegas, more details to come and i would like to go for a modern-day Priscilla Presley look.  i have always thought she was BEAUTIFUL and oh-so-stylish, so it will be perfect.  we both favor big, dark hair, and dramatic cat-eye makeup and a light lip, so hopefully it will be easy.

 

here is a more modern-day, tousled look that i love.  maybe something like this with a pretty barrette or headband?

kitsch and fancy shop update:

working on making tons of soaps for a couple of large orders.  decided to take some time to work on Etsy again revamping the pics as well as getting some new scents and products in there.  considering splitting my shop into two different shops to keep the plush and beauty items separate.  i want to focus more on party favors and wedding favors and selling in bulk.
