diable dans le details...

Shiny (heavy) Strawberry ring, newly finished skirt with dots, daisies & bow!

I haven't posted much at all in the last few days. Mainly because I've been feeling like a cold was gonna hit, but I think it may have just passed with only a warning...fingers crossed! Also, I have been working hard every night finishing up some dresses and skirts before I head out of town. Hopefully the weather where I'm  going will allow me to wear my new pieces. I thought I would have been able to wear and photograph a couple of them by now, but it's still a bit too cold here and they're definitely warmer weather items.
Since I'll be going a few days without a reliable blogging source, I'd like to leave you with a few tele-photos highlighting some pretty details and the promise of more pretty details and photos from our mini adventures.

a happy Dorothy Perkins mail day!

Newly made necklaces in the Piccadilly Lilly shop on Storenvy!

Happy Wednesday! This was originally supposed to be an outfit post, but I am too caught up in packing, shipping and photographing accessories. Which I am VERY happy to do! Especially the shipping part! Since I am busy and haven't gotten around to uploading my outfit photos yet, I'm doing a bit of mobile blogging and would like to share the cutest buttons that I have discovered and what I have made of them. At first, I wasn't sure about using buttons that I didn't make myself, but after some thinking, I realized that I would really like to support the small boutique that sold them and so I bought them there instead of making my own versions. I loved them the way they were, but you know I can't leave cute enough alone! So I made them into various accessories to share with you. You can find them all in my Storenvy shop, Piccadilly Lilly. Don't forget to get 10% off on every item at checkout by using the code SWEETSPY10

 I really like sharing my current wish list items. It serves as a sort of clothes shopping list for me (especially if I have to wait for the items to go on super sale) and I think it gives you a bit of a look into my style and the things that I like. These items are from a shop called Maurices. I had never even heard of this chain of stores until I moved here last Summer. Although I wouldn't wear every item in stock, there are those few gems that capture my interest. Also, their clothes are more affordable and they offer a "ship to store" option. With a store only a few miles from my house...I might be in trouble.

Hi, guys! How was your Valentine's Day? Ours was quiet and low key. Star Wars at Cinetopia (that fancy place), great dinner, cookies, peaceful time. What more could I want?!
Anyway, today I had to send some items off at the Post Office and since the weather wasn't so bad I did some thrifting and fabric collecting. I wore a vintage floral dress that is much more suited for late Spring or Summer, but I felt like some flowers today! I just can't wait to wear this dress without having to weigh it down with leggings and sweaters.

fabric collecting. the anchor & sailboats may be making an appearance soon

happiest find. new blush colored Converse at the Thrift store

what I wore...shh! it's yesterday's edition!

Happy Monday guys!  I've been busy in the greatest way since my day of procrastination (which you can catch up on if you read previous posts). Fun, pretty things have preoccupied my time, like making a dress for a lovely lady I've met who loves astronomy as much as I do & finishing a couple of custom listings through my Storenvy and Etsy shops. Anyway, this really is just a happy post in which we say "hello" to one another and I get to share yesterday's outfit.
I've been wearing this jean skirt too much because I think it goes with everything. Even if you were to tell me it didn't I really wouldn't stop wearing it because I love it and it's comfortable. Also, this is one of the peter pan collar shirts that I was working on. It came out great and it's so easy to add this collar to any shirt or dress that I can definitely see myself attacking the rest of my boring shirts with a cute collar! The shoes are definitely my "February shoes" from Forever 21.

 and I'm sorry, I know I have to bust out the "real" camera soon because nothing takes a picture like a real camera on a stable tripod, but hey an iphone can get the job done too!

Also, the mail just came and with it came some great things, but not my order from Dorothy Perkins, which was dispatched 2 weeks ago! I don't remember them taking this long. (total sad face) I hope it hasn't gotten lost.
