I Want To Be Brave

November 30, 2008

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

All weekend (even though I’m technically on a mini-vacation) I’ve been having network problems. It’s all very mysterious as it’s only pertaining to my email and website … and me! I’ve been told all of you can see things just fine but for some reason I can’t. This means I’m having some troubles viewing emails. If you’ve sent me something and I haven’t replied back in due time, leave me a comment here and I’ll get back to you from my personal account.

And if you’re having troubles viewing my site or blog or emails are bouncing back to you, kindly let me know :)

Oh … and send patience my way, please ;)

It’s Not Unusual …

I was going to make a designer shoes post for Friday Footwear this week when I stumbled upon these gems …


They’re heel-less shoes by Manolo Blanik. I’ll spare you on how much they cost though. Just admire them ;)

Ahead By A Century

Hmmm … ahead of my times?

If you watched Oprah yesterday you noticed some thrifty gift-giving ideas (go .: here :. if you would like a recap). The first one is something rather near and dear to my heart!

Coming to you from the What-Will-They-Think-Of-Next file …

The iPhone has an application for all of you brides-to-be out there. Actually, they have more than one but for today’s post we’ll just show off one of them …

Weak In The Knees For You

November 25, 2008


As promised, I’d like to share with you a hot designer I found via the show Who Are You Wearing?. I was watching Episode Two and one of the contestants immediately drew me in. It wasn’t her designs at first but her demeanor … there was just something about her that I sincerely liked. Then I found out her niche is bridal dresses … eco-friendly gowns. Let the love fest begin!!!

The designer in focus is .: Morgan Boszilkov :.

How Many Rivers To Cross

November 24, 2008



Hi Moments That Shine,

I’m getting married in 2010 and looking at doing my invitations soon. We’re budgeting right now but have a problem. We have no idea how many invitations we’re going to need! The first draft of our guest list is 150. What do you suggest?

Thanks,

Tina


Whooooo Are You?

November 23, 2008

There’s a fairly new program on TLC called .: Who Are You Wearing? :. If you haven’t heard of it, the premise is four would-be designers are assembled and they compete with one another to have the celebrity of the episode wear their creation to a red carpet event.


I caught the show because my wonderful husband was running errands one day and I had the T.V. to myself ;) I didn’t think I would be a huge fan but I found myself incredibly interested in the results! I was also rooting for a particular designer in the first episode I watched. I’m happy to say that I was able to track her down afterward and she agreed to do up a quick posting for the blog! I’ll be making you wait a little while to find out just who it was, the celebrity of the episode and, of course, what message she would like to tell you. Until then, read up on the show and catch it if you can!

I was hopping around different websites a few weeks back when I found this photo …


Love it! We worry so much (some more than others) about what shoes to wear on special occasions. These ladies have taken things to the next level …

In honour of the first snowfall of the season, this week’s Etsy post is all about keeping warm!

This cottonwood capelet is by .: fringe :. The bloom brooch is detachable but why not add a bit of oomph to your outfit and keep it there?


Love this idea so I had to share it!

I am a ribbon whore. There. I admitted it. Satin, silk, organza … all widths … from mauve to burnt orange. My cupboards are full.
