Some Etsy Adoration!

January 27, 2009

This weekend, my sister Candice and I had a fun dress-up party. We use to do this sort of thing when we were wee little ones, just now we actually know how to apply makeup and neither of us emerges from our play room with quarter inch long bangs (long story, if you want a serious laugh, ask either one of us about it some time)! One of the cool things about having a beautiful sister is that I don’t really need to hire a model! I mean, I might be biased, but heellluuu?! she’s gorgeous! Thanks sis, for being the bestest assistant ever and a damn fine model to boot!

The point of this grown up girly play time was to photograph a stunning piece from Etsy seller Pebbles and Paisley, aka Twigs and Honey, all of which are the gorgeous work of Myra Callan (she’s even got a fun blog)!


I fell in love with this headpiece the moment I saw it! Candice and I both thought the feathers, the lacy trim, the yummy velvet ribbon tie, the perfect vintage button details all lended themselves to a super romantic equestrian look…which I always thought would make a picture perfect wedding theme.




If you are looking for a beautifully crafted alternative to the traditional white veil, please run on over and check out what Myra has to offer! Her pieces really do add a striking bit of flare to any wedding day. As well as something you can wear for a fun night out on the town! I plan on rocking this piece to dinner dates, parties, and get-togethers galore!

Kim’s Bridal Shower

August 14, 2008

This past Saturday, I got to spend a couple hours hanging out with Kim and all the lovely ladies in her life while they showered her with love and presents, all in celebration of her marriage to Jared next month! The festivities went down at Jimmy Hay’s restaurant in Island Park and here are some of my favorites from the party.









I just have to mention that Kim is a phenomenally talented jewelry designer! She designed the earrings she wore to the shower, and I know all you ladies out there can’t help but want to check out her website.





Best bridal shower gift EVER!

Thankfully, Kim did not have to don the bridal shower ribbon hat! Instead, her bridesmaids made a bouquet from the odds and ends of ribbons. And once all the gifts were opened, sillyness ensued!


Showers of happiness, Kim, for you and Jared! I can’t wait for the wedding next month!
