Cuteable

My Spring Pearls necklace was featured on Cuteable. How cool is that?

I love the way this necklace turned out. I was actually waiting on some chain I had ordered to arrive in the mail, so I strung the Pearls on ribbon to see what it would look like and thought it added a fun touch!

Earring Giveaway

It's SOOO beautiful out today! We've been so sun deprived here in Louisville so far this year, it's really nice to walk outside without an umbrella. The word is the nice weather is suppose to stick around most of this week which is awesome because it's Tyler's spring break.

I'll be giving away a pair of earrings next week so please take the poll to the left to give me an idea of what kind of earrings you would love to have for Spring. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to leave me a comment.

Have a great day!

My Kentucky Oaks Dress and Hat







I found this dress and just fell in love with the colors so I created the hat to bring out the great orange.

Kentucky Derby Festivals, GO BABY GO!!!

Photobucket

So, this is my favorite time of year! I just love when it starts to turn warm, we actually have some sunshine and everywhere you look you see a beautifully decorated hat just waiting for the perfect head! The Kentucky Derby Festivals kick off Saturday, April 12 with Thunder Over Louisville which is the most amazing air and fireworks show in the world. Young and old unite from morning to night to see the shows and celebrate being a Louisvillian.

My favorite part is the Kentucky Oaks which takes place Derby Eve. The event is the first Friday in May, which is May 2nd this year and I'm just too excited. I have my dress, hat and jewelry all ready, which I'll be posting pictures of soon.

I still need my shoes, so I'll be shopping for the perfect pair of brown shoes. They should be comfortable, I know, but of course there is a price to pay for fashion, right? Two years ago I wore the most impractacle pair of shoes and my friend, Cody, had to pick me up off the ground about 20 times! Just in case you didn't know, either, mint juleps, heels and well-lotioned feet do not mix. Ouch. Lol.

There are tons of other events I'll be writing about within the next week, so check back often!

Check out the pictures below to get a little peak....

Things with Wings

Wings...
You have given me wings with which to fly
Now I breathe in deep and spread them wide
as we lift off from the silken petals
into the wind where the butterflies glide.

New stuff for Spring and Summer



This year's jewelry fashion trends include nature inspired pieces, long necklaces, and hoop earrings. The season's popular colors are beach inspired, as well as some pastels making their way back. You will also be seeing lots of white, including pearls and shells.
