busy bee

i'm getting some of my energy back when it comes to the shop... listed this last night, more to come!

encircling gardens

this weekend i was out shopping and found some wreaths made of silk flowers that caught my eye. i immediately ran over to them and put one around my neck... neil was sweet about it, but i'm sure they didn't look as nice on me as i thought they did... considering they were made for doors and not people

i came across this beautiful new line of flowers for your neck that would do the trick oh so nicely. necklace by myrakim on etsy

beauty

it's rare to find a beauty pageant with this much depth and sincerity. i apologize i can't remember how i found this, but thank you whoever you are.

ties

when i was in catholic school, part of the uniform for the kids under sixth grade was wearing a little plaid tie. i came across these and was so excited, just had to share. a little more grown up and fashionable, but wonderfully reminiscent of the old school days.

smitten

love, love, love this wide belt from Hende on etsy. i'm a short girl and these things don't usually flatter me very well, so i'll just have to admire from afar.

dear seed clothing,

i think i want to get married in your doris dress. simply beautiful.

love,
ishi

p.s. i also love your other ones, just saying.

wow

i was going to post some amazing dresses, but they will just have to wait. i came across zerkahloostrah's shop and my heart skipped a beat! one word, ok fine, two words: custom shoes! shoes made especially for your feet.. how many times have you bought shoes and they pinch and are tight in the wrong places? i love the colors in the sandals pictured above, they remind me of easter and my favorite easter candies... cadbury's chocolate eggs! they're definitely out of my price range, so i'll just have to settle for the candies, which is just fine with me.
