What I Wore - *Indigo and Lace*
Monday, October 24, 2011
Hello again lovelies!
How was your weekend? What did you end up doing?
My Saturday was a busy one. My eyebrows got the TLC they needed and I managed to get a lot of pretty nice photos from the kitten photo shoot. I will share some of those tomorrow!
Did anyone watch the premiere of Once Upon A Time last night? What did you think of it? I recorded it and am going to watch it after work!
Now for the wears! This is one of my favorite new dresses. I found this gem on UrbanOG on clearance for $9.00! I couldn't pass it up. The lace collar was SO pretty and the little hearts matched my oh so fabulous indigo tights!
My fancy new frames came from Zenni Optical, I was lucky this time, I ordered 4 pair of glasses and I liked them all! Success!
Wears from Head to Toe -
Glasses - Zenni Optical
Cardigan - Target - OLD! I've had this cardigan for years!
Dress - UrbanOG
Belt - thrifted
Earrings - World Market - my FAVE pair of earrings. I'll have to get a better photo of them!
Tights - Happy Socks
Shoes - DSW via Chinese Laundry
Talk to you soon!
It's Friday!! Fabulous Friday Finds is here...woo hoo!
Friday, October 21, 2011
Hey everyone! I'm SO glad it's Friday...I'm hoping to have a pretty non-active weekend.
Saturday I plan on going to the salon to give my eyebrows a little TLC then I'm off to a girlfriends to take photos of her new kitty! It can be difficult to get a really nice photo of a new kitten but I'm going to give it my best shot.
I'll also be shipping off my fabulous Package Pal Laura's parcel this weekend!
Okay...on to the finds!
Paw Readings Sign via homespunraven - I don't only love this for a Halloween decoration but for all year round decor! Silly little cats wanting their palm read.
Vintage Puff Sleeve Dress via pineapplemint - Love...there isn't anything that I don't love about this dress.
1960's By The Sea Green and Blue Cracked Glass via rockthisvintage - Are you thinking how cute these earrings would look with this dress? I love the colors in these earrings!
Harry Potter Tag Necklace via FrozenSilencex - I'm a sucker for Harry Potter items. Especially ones that aren't super common. This one is too cute AND only $6.00!
Amethyst Bracelet via GlitzGlitter - One of my favorite items of todays list - Jewel tones are my weakness and this bracelet is so rich and royal. Love!
Vintage Pedestal Mugs via momspoppeshoppe - Do I have to say much about these? So cute and so fun and perfect for hot chocolate in Fall AND...the entire set is only $7.99!! <3
That's it for this week! What was your favorite? Any big plans this weekend or are you hoping for a quiet weekend too?
Thrifty *Tutorial* Thursday - Halloween Edition Part 3
Thursday, October 20, 2011
The countdown is in full force! 11 days to go until Howloween! (Sorry...I couldn't resist)
I'm not sure I still want to be Pebbles though...the costume is so large but I'm afraid if I wash it it'll shrink to a barbie doll size.
On the plus side, I can always go with Minnie Mouse, because I recently got the most divine dress and it is scarily similar to Ms. Minnie's ensemble.
(I'll share that in an upcoming "What I Wore" post...my other half aka photographer wasn't home to take pictures!)
**********************************
On to the this weeks Halloween DIY find!
Fright on the Fridge -
This has to be one of the THE most simple Halloween DIY projects that I've come across. Not to mention it's incredibly cute and great for kids to do with their parents too! I didn't have time to actually make this before I had to post about it today SO I'll be picking up the supplies after work to spook up my fridge! Head over to Better Homes and Gardens website for the instructions!
Are you ready for Halloween? Did you go all out on decoration or did you keep it simple?
Talk to you soon!
It's That Time Again! Mid-Week Tranquility here we come (and shop news!)!

Hey everyone!
Before I get to the good stuff...I wanted to update everyone on my allusive Etsy Shop. It's still enjoying a nice vacation but will be opening back up before the end of the month *fingers crossed.* When Etsy announced the whole name change thing I figured I should wait until I did that before I opened it back up.
I was toying with the idea of changing the name from SewSavoirFaire Creations to well...something that had to do with animals since my shop is all about animals! I decided I was going to make the leap even though a lot of other things need to change with it (banner, email, business cards etc.) but I decided not to change my blog name. It'll stay SewSavoirFaire because really I still love the name it just didn't fit for my shop.
(Fun Fact - Anyone remember the movie Oliver & Company? The song they sing in the street "Why should I worry...why should I care...I may not have a dime...but I've got street savoir faire" That's where my name originated from!)
So LONG story...less long...the new and hopefully improved shop name is -
I needed something that wasn't cat or dog specific and I am a sucker for sweet little paws! So it just fit perfectly.
Okay...sorry...enough of that!

A little whimsy in the tranquility today - I could get lost in this room for hours it's gorgeous and has such a light and calming feel to it.
Any other shop owners out there decide to change your shop name?
What I Wore - *Emerging Thoughts*

Happy Tuesday lovelies!
So, needless to say, I've reconnected. Honestly, for the most part, I usually disconnect in some way, shape, or form on the weekends and then I'm back again during the week. I think it keeps me from getting bored (shock!) with the internet.
I wanted to share with you a dress I recently purchased after it finally went on sale! I'm all about a sale!
Wears Head to Toe -
Dress - Emerging Thoughts
Tights - Foot Traffic in burgundy
Shoes - DSW - Madden Girl
Earrings - from a store in downtown Jax that isn't open anymore : (
Love this dress! The customer service at ET was superb, probably the best that I've ever spoken to, not to mention I received a surprise little halloween candy goodie bag in the mail over the weekend. It was completely unexpected...I was like...weird I didn't order anything recently from ET. Candy! Woo hoo!
Have you ordered anything from Emerging Thoughts? What item did you get?
Talk to you soon!
