Silver Lining

 I really love this outfit. Probably a bit too much. I've probably worn it 5 plus times since I put it together.

 I just can't help it.

 I love the swishy skirt (which is actually a dress), the easy T, one of my very favorite necklaces, and the shoes. Oh the shoes.

These babies were my birthday present from Merissa of Merissa Explains it all.  Vintage Silver brogues. LOVE! I can't wear them without being showered with complements.

Tee: Kholes
Dress (worn as skirt): Ross
Necklace: Corvidae
Bag: Swapped

 

I'm so thankful to John for the photo help he's been giving with my photos. Both with taking photos for me (such as the ones above) and with my jewelry.  I just need to get better about editing and posting them! I have so much excitement coming up so stay tuned!

Luv,

One More Time

For the very last time we will be gathering at Concord Mills just outside of Charlotte NC for the midnight showing of Harry Potter. We will be making complete fools out of ourselves as usual.

Pictured above is a fraction of the jewelry I will be draped in. I love an occasion to wear nearly half of my jjewelry collection. Nearly. (who am I kidding? I'm not even wearing a quarter.) So stay tuned for photographic evidence that I, and my cohorts, are mildly retarded.

Luv,

Oh, Just a Mermaid. Playing a Guitar.

 

I came across this pendant on Ebay. I'm seriously considering purchasing it for the sake of WTF.

I mean what isn't amazing about a mermaid wearing a pink crown playing an electric (yes electric) guitar? Oh yeah, and there is the bling factor. If I ever get obnoxiously rich, I'm going to have this commissioned in gold and diamonds as real bling. And the mermaid will be twice as large. I'll wear it everyday.

Enjoy,

Luv,

Oh, So sad.

I wish I had seen these earlier. Especially the coral ones. ~Sigh~

      

Forever 21shoes

We will be back to a more regular schedule soon. my new mac and Blogger (as well as John's camera) are fighting. As soon as it all gets straitened out I will be working harder to get on a real posting regiment. I love my readers, and YOU DESERVE BETTER!

It's coming.

Luv,

Happy 4th

Shameless Self Promotion

I love, love, love the Susan Lenart Kazmer Ice resin.
LOVE it.
It's just so clear and perfect to encase my watercolors.

I made this bezeled cab as a gift for my friend Maura. The picture are kinda crummy, but you get the idea.


If you want to learn how to wield this incredible medium Join me at Beadlush Saturday June 25, 2:30 pm for The Pop Your Top resin class. I can't wait!
Pop your top Resin ClassI'll be teaching how to punch metal, embellish with watercolor, prevent bubbles, and all about the wonderful world of Resin!
If you live in the Charlotte Area call (704) 376-3331 to reserve a spot (it's filling fast!)
And, in case you were wondering, Beadlush does carry Ice Resin.

Hope to see you there!
Luv,

Bells on Their Toes

I'm kinda in love with these Maio sandals from Asian ICandy. They aren't even that expensive (completely with my summer shoe budget), and are even made of leather. So what is stopping me? Everyone I know would beat me to a pulp if my feet made constant jingle noises.
~Sigh~
It's just not meant to be.


What are you pining for?

Luv,
Vanessa*
