office shoes. (but not really)

UK shoe haven Office makes some fantastic vintage inspired styles that you might have a hard time finding in the States. You can order these online. Yay! I love love love the pumps with the bows, both the d'orsay and the closed toe are adorable. The d'orsay might be a bit easier to wear, it's a touch lower. Although, I could withstand a bit of pain to wear the other ones too!

oh dear me.

You may be asking yourself, "Why? Why would Mackenzie post these stupifyingly horrible hairdo's?" Why? Because I got a really good chuckle out of them this afternoon, and I really needed one of those today. I thought you could use a good laugh too.
Just think, even if the caterers are being jerks, and your mother is picking fights, and the florist doesn't know what "no carnations" means, you still won't have to walk down the aisle with any of these hairdos. Doesn't that just make you happy?

toot, toooooot!

Hey everyone! We're in the newspaper! The Belleville News Democrat in Belleville, IL ran a short article about Something Old, Something New in this morning's edition! Thanks Wendy Zang of Knight Ridder! Check it out here.

more super rings

Whilst checking out Becky Kelso, I also came across a few other designers I just couldn't resist.
Top Row: Cathy Waterman. The pure delicateness of these makes me smile.
Bottom Row: Temple St. Clair makes beautifully creative fine jewelry.
I found all these styles at Ylang 23, a wonderful designer jewelry boutique.

becky kelso makes nice things

How much did I LOVE this morning's post on Oh Joy! about Becky Kelso? I just had to repost it. She makes such unique, timeless jewelry. Great find Joy!

DIY goldmine

For all you do-it-yourselfers, check out the Tinsel Trading Company. They have vintage milliner's flowers, ribbon, old buttons, vintage paper scraps, sequins, antique fringe, and pretty much anything else you might need to construct something killer for favors or decor. What could you make? I don't know. What couldn't you make? I don't know that either.

One day, when I am rich, I will go here. I will sit (apres snorkeling) on the glass deck of my private ocean bungalow with my decadent tropical drink overlooking the calm waters of the deep blue Indian Ocean. I will summon my personal butler to fetch me crispy french fries with extra ketchup. I will turn to my husband, and I will say "I need nothing else from life." He will nod, and we will take naps.
