Happy Fashion Friday!  I've been experimenting with a lot of new ideas lately, and I thought I'd play nice and share (especially since lots of your awesome blogs have inspired me!).


{ my new fashion loves }



After finally figuring out how to apply it, I am totally in love with the "cat eye" look.  (c'mon -- how smokin' are The Ronettes?!)






This isn't so much new, but my love of oddly colored nail polishes is growing deeper.  I must find this dark metallic green shade!






This is my nod to fall's animal print trend.  It's just a little touch (and it's something I already own : P), and I love the way it looks paired with plaid. (and we all know how I loves me some plaid.)  I've been wearing it nearly everyday.





Carrie's recent blog post inspired me to check out the new Tucker for Target line this week.  To my utter surprise, I fell in love with this little floral number.  I never wear florals.  But the punchy colors and tiny print had me.  I wore it on Tuesday, and I'm pretty sure it's love. 
 (also note the wearing of ankle socks and pumps! two loves in one photo ... oh snap!)


 

In other Super Awesome Friday news:

LittleGrayFox is hosting a blog hop!  I'm always in the mood for new blogs, so this is a great way to scope some interesting reads.

Also, the wonderful and talented Meredith of OneSheepishGirl featured my shop on her blog!  Yays!

We had a pretty low-key weekend at our house.  Other than browsing for a new sofa (I swear, it's like the impossible quest), there were crafty times, learning to stream Netflix to our TV times, cute kitteness times,  aaaaaaaaaand a surprise at the end of this post. : P


A sneak peek at some christmas holiday items in the works.




Fiona and Max: helping out.  (Is it wrong that I find it hilarious when our kitties watch TV?)

Tsuki of LittleGrayFox was kind enough to point out Etsy's new Treasury Challenge to me yesterday.  (You can read all about it here.)  OF course, I decided I must enter.  : P

{ Check out my stylin' entry here. }


Tsuki made an awesome one, too. (Clicky love is uber appreciated!)


{ are you going to enter? you really should! }


Pssst! - The answer to yesterday's question can be found here.



This is the LittleGrayFox crafty challenge entry for my lovely friend, Monica.  She's a brilliant painter, phenomenal photographer, the silliest person I know, and about a flobbity jillion billion times cooler than me  (I was always super jealous of her in college : P).





Her description (so professional):

"3 mini acrylic-on-canvases:

1 4x6 "hello..."
1 4x4 bird on branch
1 4x4 happy snail"

 
Aren't these three little paintings adorable?!
 
 
{ super happy friday of awesomeness!}
 
 

 We interrupt your regularly scheduled "fashion friday" post, to bring you the results of LittleGrayFox's Second Crafty Challenge.  Visit her blog to see all the super fun entries!


The theme was "A Little Birdy Told Me..." Here's my entry:





( It basically turned into "Mean Girls: Birdie Edition." )

It's handstitched felt stuffed with fiber fill, some embroidery, and polymer clay leafies.  Oh also, you can't tell from the photos, but I ran wire through the branch, so the limbs are pose-able!




I'll be posting an entry for one of my dear pals who's on vacation right now (jealous!), but I'll be back a little later today with a FASHIONy challenge post. : D



{ happy friday, mes amies! }
