Headbands + Hair Clips {by me}


These are the headbands I have made that you can choose from! You can mix and match material!!  
{Buttons are limited so if the one you request isn't available it will be substituted for another adorable one!!}
These are my hair clips. 
Each flower has an alligator style hair clip on the back that makes it easy to place in your hair or clip onto a simple headband you already have!!
This is my Anthropologie inspired pom pom necklace I made!
All hair clips can be made into headbands, all headbands can be made into a hair clip. The contest winner will basically get a custom made accessory of their choice. Pick the material, tell me how you want it, and it's yours.
Have fun!!!

Laura Idol | Cocktails + Crafts

I first met Laura a few years ago when we were in nursing school together. I felt like I had known her for years from the moment we met. I'm so blessed to have her as a friend.
I love it that all of my friends are so very different from one another. I like to think that each of them fit a little piece of my personality. She is truly one of a kind. She's soft, charming, and incredibly warm. Her smile puts people at ease. She has a backporch and glass of sweet tea vibe about her. She's a girl's girl and what every guy dreams of in a woman. Laura loves shoes, shimmer, the color coral, and any excuse to get dressed up. She also loves hunting with her husband and shooting the high powered 30 aught 6 he bought her even more. One of a kind. That's Laura.
The jewelry she makes is indicative of her personality. Unique, bold, feminine, and stands out in a crowd.
A couple weeks ago we spent two days in a row together. I was ecstatic! We rarely get together these days with our opposite schedules. We made a trip to St Theresa's Textile Trove where we found some amazing buttons, beads, and fabric. The entire next day was set aside for cocktails + crafts! Mimosa's with fresh squeezed orange juice (she's the best), delicious raspberries, and strawberries. She's quite the hostess.
Here are some of my favorite photos from Laura's craft room where she makes her very unique jewelry.
She's gorgeous.
Her adorable whale headband I helped her make :)
I love the bold colors and feminine details. The coral bird bracelet on the right is one of my favorites! 
"Chiquita Banana" earrings!
The beautiful sterling silver earrings she helped me make. Mine all mine!
How cute are these little birds? And they're sitting on yellow flower petals. Seriously, I want some Laura.

Blame it on the Rain

Happy Monday everyone!! 
It has not stopped raining ALL day. Perfect weather to stay inside and get a ton of spring cleaning done. I didn't clean as much as I organized. When Joel and I first moved to our apartment we were right in the middle of wedding planning. A lot of things didn't get put away properly and still haven't. The WORST of these things was our closet. Ohh em gee!! It was a disaster. 

Organizing our closet was #1 on my list of things to accomplish before summer. I wish I had've taken a before and after picture because you seriously wouldn't believe it. Joel's clothes are actually in there with mine now instead of being cram packed in the guest room closet (Joel's a trooper). And our shoes. My Lord. We have more shoes than any 2 people should ever have. It's kind of embarrassing. But, they look really pretty all lined up in there now!! I literally cleaned that closet from the time I woke up until 4:00. I have lots of clothes & shoes to donate to Goodwill (or if anyone knows of any shelters, etc. that need them let me know!) 
Hope you're enjoying this manic Monday and making the best of the rain!!

The After picture of our closet! YAY. So excited about this.
I thought my shoes looked pretty ;)

Friday Inspiration! Simplify your Life

I am absolutely in love with this print and the quote by Henry David Thoreau is beautiful. Simplifying your life and following your dreams confidently is absolutely easier said than done. I'm trying to follow my dream of wedding photography and it's not as easy as it looks. Sacrifices have to be made. A tremendous amount of time and energy (and lets be honest, money) goes into making a dream your reality. Although it's a lot of work it will be 110% worth it in the end if I am living my dream. We'll see. I'm just letting God do his thing :)
Hoping to inspire you this Friday afternoon. And point you to one of my favorite etsy shops, The Wheatfield. Check it out. Her work is gorgeous.
Enjoy your weekend and GO CATS!

Heel Condoms!

I'm sure most of you already know about my passion for shoes AND accessories. When I saw these accessories for shoes I was so excited. They're a little over the top, but I love how different they are. Not to mention what a fun yet sometimes awkward conversation piece this would be haha! 


Anyway, this made me smile so I had to share it with the rest of you (Yes I'm assuming it's mostly women out there reading my blog)!
Want to snazz up your stilettos and protect your heels from damage? Hello. What girl doesn't? 


Get yourself a Heel Condom! 

They slip over the heel of your high heels to transform your shoes. What girl doesn't love an inexpensive way to get mulitple looks from a pair of basic heels they may already have laying in their closet.

These can be found at www.theheelcondoms.com
