A hat issue!

I have such a hard time finding hat that I like or fit my face, more like they normally look funny on me. Last month, I got a fedora from Urban Outfitters that I love and wear every day since I got it! So when I saw these lovely hats at Anthropologie, I knew I had to go there and tried them on. I walked away with the last one but I'm also in love with the first one.





Anthropologie

Chic nerdy?

I have long had an obsession with plastic framed glasses, especially after this guy's face was all over the news



Ok...not so much, but this guy did it right!


Picture from here


I can't pull this look off though, I guess I'm not nerdy enough, or at all. Every time I get a new pair of prescribed glasses, I try and give up. However, I never tried the big round style on and for some reasons, I have a feeling they might work better than the traditional rectangle frame.

I found an Etsy seller that has vintage frames at very, very reasonable prices that even though I don't get to try them on, I'm thinking about getting a pair anyway.



or these



I think I really love these!


At $15 per pair...I can't loose much.

The perfect bag

I normally carry half of my apartment with me to work daily so my work bag are mostly huge. The fact that I could easily fill up a large Longchamp Pilage is to show you I have a massive amount of junk and I don't know why. So I had this idea last week that I wanted a large leather bag as my work bag to replace my beloved Longchamp sometimes. I searched and bought a bag that was way over the budget and I didn't even love it that much, I just needed to buy something that day. Well, it's going back for sure after I spot all these absolutely-to-die-for bags on Etsy. Sorry Etsy, after three weeks, I did forget to check your inventory, bad bad me!

The bag that reminds me Etsy is one of the best places to shop!

Ruffle Flower Handbag.

I love flower embellishment. If I could, I would pin flowers on everything that I own. I'm totally into shopping in my own closet these days, trying to wear things that I haven't in a while by adding a belt, brooch or flower pin.

Speaking of embellishment, how cute is this bag?? I don't think I own any bag that I could pin things on but I wish I did!



Love, love this clutch!

No, I wasn't looking for a new ring. But if I were, one of these babies would be mine!

First day of Fall!

Wow,

I can't believe today is the first day of Fall! Where did the summer go? Did we even have one?

I love everything about this wedding that Emily of Once Wed did at Design*Sponge. So dreamy!

I really love her necklace and would love to find something similar. The original Etsy artist is sort of no longer making it and I have a feeling that it will be a tad over my budget. If you know of this design somewhere, please let me know!


Necklace by Daughter of Luxury

Little White Dresser.

My obsession with hair accessories tells me that I should add another piece to my unworn collection...But you can't blame me for wanting one of these beauties, you know you want them too.





This really cute belt would instantly update any dress or add some sparkles to your wedding dress.

I WON!

I enter in giveaways all the times but hardly expect that I would win anything. So it came as a sweet surprise this morning to see that I won something from The Bride Cafe. I was looking at her latest post, scrolled down a little too much so when I saw that Janie was announcing a winner from last week giveaway, I really just wanted to see what the lucky person won. The comment sounded familiar, oh, and the name too...wait a minute, that is ME! I chose this lovely necklace from Marlo Noël.



Thank you The Bride Cafe!

Bolero done perfectly!

I don't have much to say except that this bride looks amazing in her red bolero. She also has a lovely blog that I think I will read through to find where she got it from. I know a couple of Esty sellers that make the same style. Let's see if I get it right. =)

*FOUND IT!, I was right, just get comfirmation from another of my favorite blogs, Vintage Glam Wedding. Long story short, I found Sarah Neal site via Steep Street by Kelty. Then I went to visit Vintage Glam Wedding. , there it was, the answer to my doubt!

Bolero from Etsy Bonzie's shop. I think the seller should seriously consider asking to use this picture instead.

**CORRECTION**: Cori, the lovely bride stopped by and let me know that the bolero is actually from this Etsy seller for half the price instead: maryandangelika. Thank Cori!!

I like!

I've been drooling over the Rousseau necklace by Anthropologie but the price hurts.



Buy it here if you like.

I was about to attempt my little DIY until I see these lovely versions of it for a fraction of Anthro's price. I think I might just buy these instead to avoid going cross-eyed by the time I'm done with it (if ever!).



Love this!
