Here is a beautiful diy for a notepad from the equally beautiful blog, Scissor Variations. I have a sick love for lists and the paper on which to make lists. This will just deepen my sick love.

It is important that when deciding on what type of hairstyle you want to have for your special day you take into consideration your body type. Choosing a great hairstyle for your wedding can be one of the most important things that you do.

The first thing you want to do is start by looking through the many hairstyle magazines that are available to you.

Barn Sales and Boutiques

Last week, after an amazing family reunion in Island Park, ID, we followed one of the families back to Great Falls, MT and spent a couple days enjoying beautiful Montana country. My sis-in-law and I realized we shared an interest in having a boutique/market. You know, the kind in your back yard or barn where you throw up a couple of tents and sell hand-made treasures? So, we decided that we are going to do one next fall. I've been checking out some different sales around the country to get an idea of what works and what sells. Here are some I've found....

Solonese bride


Solonese bride
Andang wears the Indonesian Muslim attire of koko shirt and black peci cap, Bunga is in a modern Javanese kebaya with the Solonese hair accessories of jasmine. She would be wearing five kinds of fresh jasmine, roses and ylang-ylang
hair accessories in most of the parties, since they are the attribute that distinguish the bridegroom in Java. But all of her wedding dresses are not really traditional except one. And while customarily Javanese Muslim brides wear a headscarf (loosely over the chignon or hairdo, without fastening it anywhere like a 'jilbab' or 'real Muslim women's headgear'), Bunga didn't wear one, although the custom is only for the wedding ceremony, namely the formal nuptial rites. Not for wedding parties.
The Javanese customs obliged her to wear earrings, bracelet and necklace that were given by the groom's family in the seserahan party and not to wear her own jewellery on this occasion, to show respect and obedience to her mother in-law and the clan of her husband'

Of course, I didn't forget about the lovely fashion blogging community, especially when I caught myself shopping for different party outfits for all the events I was invited to. Then, it dawned on me: It's party dress season! But with so many different readers, and ever changing trends, it's hard to blog about just one type of dress. Luckily for you, there's a lot more where that came from. I narrowed all my favorite styles to five different dresses that will bring so much personality to your outfit with mix-matching colors and accessories. Loves it.

I've always thought there should be a better use for doilies than just dust collectors. Well, here it is...

You can find similar clocks here


Another mirror (I love mirrors)...I saw this one at Urban Outfitters and I've been stockpiling magazines to make this. I think it's about time to get it done.


That's my sis in the mirror:) She needs to get busy and get her own blog!

Bridesmaids




Bridesmaids
Remember this gorgeous image of a Bride and her bridesmaids in - shock horror - white? Well there’s a new all-white wedding on the block and it’s just as stunning. Having your bridesmaids wearing the same colour as you really does make for some dramatic photographs. My only concern would be does everybody know who the Bride is in the picture
