Tuesday Fashion Cravings

That perfect party dress.  Brian and I were discussing my taste a while back and I described my style as "cute."  He was so relieved to finally come up with a word that described it.  "Yes, you dress cute!" he said.  This conversation took place in London where all of the girls were dressed like women.  I felt very much like a 24 year old girl.  I might not be making sense.  Anyway I have been looking at more grown up clothes lately and trying to not buy the cute floral stuff that I want to.  But hey I bought a chiffon floral skirt and that's more grown up looking that a cotton one...right?
Anyway...I was browsing www.modcloth.com and found some more grown up looking party dresses....

I don't know why I wrote that little story about trying to look more grown up.  The more I kept looking the "cuter" the dresses got.

so I guess I like shopping now?

In light of a recent blog post, I took this photo of these awesome shoes I bought last week.

I had to wait and wait until they came into the store, Forever 21. The day that they came I personally ripped open the box and immediately bought them.

Then today I bought this necklace for myself. I don't know who decides that "oh American girls love roses, pearls, gems, locks, keys, and silhouettes right now, why don't we just put them all on one piece of jewelry," but apparently I'm into that kind of thing because I bought it.

Like the Tide

I don't claim to be 100% original. With the ebb and flow of fashion certain predictions can be made. So I find it kind of awesome when I see that someone else has produced an idea I had too.

Creepy Cute Skeleton Bride and Groom

My friend Ashley gave me the book, Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden. So I made Ashley the bride and her fiance the groom for Halloween. These are actually stuffed dolls and bigger than my finger-puppets.

Happy ADORABLE customer!

Look at this adorable baby boy! He is fierce! His mom sent me a little note with these pictures. I LOVE happy customers. I had to deal with a few cranky ones, but it was ALL worth it to see these pictures. It was worth the late nights of bending over and cutting paper for hours.

ACKKK, I just can't get over how CUTE this is.
