"Into the woods..."

I've recently fallen in love with  Vogue Knitting Magazine! Kind of funny, as I used to be too impatient for knitting.

I bought their Early Fall issue, and LOVED all the articles. These featured (above, too) are my favorites:

 I love how they accessorize and their unique props!

Here's their website: vogueknitting.com

 Love,
 Celine :)

Poll: Would you rather be a Mermaid...

Boho Wedding....

 

This is sort of old news, but I just loved Kate Moss's recent wedding! 

So cute! The bridesmaids and flower girls look like Woodland Faeries...

Lovely location, too.

Just some thoughts for today :)

Bella Bird

Just a quick post, to share this really cute line.

Bella Bird (Bellabird.com) has these adorable skirts and dresses, (all a modest knee length or longer--yay!!!!) which can be found at Walmarts in Idaho and Utah. Bella Bird clothing is both modest and inexpensive-- a rarity today.

Here are some of their line:

I think this one may be my favorite. I love the roses...

I love the watercolor effect of this skirt! Bella Bird also carries very comfy, jersey knit tops to go with their skirts, like the one above. Would make a good outfit. :)

So, check it out here: bellabird.com. :)

Great sale!

I got all this for $15!

Claire's was having a clearance sale a few weeks ago. Items on the clearance rack are already 50% off, and they made them an extra 50% off... so most necklaces were just a few bucks!

I love this pouch (above). Could be worn with sundresses or sweaters!

Plus, for items $11.50 and under, they were $1 each!!!!(if you purchased the minimum of 5 items, but still!)

So I stocked up. One of my favorite $1 items is this sewing necklace (above). Thread, and iron, a measuring tape... story of my life *grin*

I loved these huge "rubies".

This owl is another favorite.

Sadly, I don't think they have the sale on anymore... but the saleslady said they randomly have it every once in awhile, so keep checking you local Clarie's, I guess. :)

I wore this outfit for my piano recital. The retro skirt is so full....plus, I got the fabric for this dress so much on sale, that the total cost for this dress was about $8!!!!
