They're BACCCKKKK: Mrs./Ms. Necklaces

Took a while, but after many months and more emails/and convos, the fabled Mrs./Ms. double sided pendants are back in the shop in Bridal section! Get em while theyre hot! I don't know how long these babies will last!

Almost....

I've been pushing myself to expand my Bridal collection so I've done just that. Or at least, almost....

Today I'm working on adding 15 new listings to my Etsy Shop! Including these pretty little lariats! They are so simple, but chic and unique looking in their asymmetry. They look really graceful and at the same time fun, when worn. I'm super excited about these because I just think they are the sweetest little things, especially for bridesmaids! I REALLY must do some new model shots with them, but alas, Winter is a big Debbie Downer in the world of outdoor promo photos. It's right about now that I REALLY wish I had the time/money and space to set up a small indoor photo studio at home...

Anyway, I'm working on adding all 15 new listings tonight and tomorrow, there will be other color selections of these lariats as well as some other fun stuff :) I'm hoping this will help motivate me to continue to work on bridal designs that are chic, unique and accessible... because as you all know, bridal season is almost upon us!

So, make sure to check the shop soon to see whats new :)

P.S. : What color combo's do you like for weddings? Which color combo's do you think are most popular/trendy right now? I'd love to hear your thoughts as I'm fiddling with all these bridal pieces :)

My Best Friend's Wedding: Meet Lindsay & Mike

"Did we just become Best Friends? Yup!" ~ Step Brothers

It's so weird how quickly time passes. Years go by and you hardly blink an eye, at least that's how it seems. When all of a sudden you wake up and your best friend is engaged, it's a clear sign that your not 16 anymore...

World, meet Lindsay and Mike. Lindsay has been my best friend for years and years, my eternally goofy other half. We are known to have a unique sense of humor and no limit to the number of times we can laugh in one day. Mike entered the scene pretty soon after my friendship with Lindsay really blossomed and we all had a blast with our little troop of best friends being carefree teenagers with few worries aside from our dates to Prom and who was responsible for coming up with our weekly "Monday Funday" activities. I miss those days a lot lately. Life inevitably took us in different directions once college came around, but here we are years later and still friends. I think even if we don't see each other nearly as much as we used to, we still have that unspoken bond, which I rarely take the time to appreciate these days it seems, until I am reminded just how much older we all are and just how long ago those days were.

While it's sad to think of how fleeting my youth is, it's equally as cool to be able to say I was able to see Mike and Lindsay's relationship develop from the very beginning into what it is today. You might even say I had a little hand in helping to align the stars for them to initially get them together. I think bittersweet is the perfect word to describe this situation, so happy for the 2 of them and excited for their future but also a little sad to say goodbye to all of our former childhood selves. So, I leave you with my very favorite picture of the happy couple, taken at the beginning of it all, when they were just young whippersnappers...

Congratulations Mike and Lindsay! I am so happy for you both, and I love the crap out of you both, even if I'm not as present as I used to be :) Here's to you, and Magnolia.
