This one’s gotta be a quickie.

(uh…remember those orders I talked about yesterday (insert: HUGE SIGH), I still haven’t sent them out, so you know what today is about).

But I couldn’t let today’s post opp slip by without a shoutout to today’s rockin’ fashion spin. Sometimes, especially when I’m not feeling in top form—I gotta fake it. And sometimes when you fake it. You must fake it HARD and LOUD.

Check me out:

I think I’m doing mirror-face in this photo—love that. New fancy jeans from Pin Me Apparel on the fabulous Mississippi Ave where you can also find my awesome jewelry at one of my favorites, Phlox boutique. And below those jeans you’ll find the old trusty dusty standbys, my dark brown Frye Boots. I live in these boots.

Do you love the blue disc earrings you see in the photo? They’re pretty spectacular, I know. They come in 5 different colors and I can tell you EXACTLY where to find them: betsy’s online shop.

(I’m also happy to report that even beyond my handmade earrings made in the very shop you see behind me in the photo–everything you see on me is also made by the little people in the good ol’ USA).

Most important thing of the day: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SISSY! I LOVE YOU!

Trunk shows and pantyhose

I am chompin’ at the bit to get the last few designs made for tonight’s Trunk show at Phlox boutique on Mississippi. They have a second Thursday deal where the whole street participates. Booze and shopping and DJs–should be a great combination. While I always try to look my best at these things, I have decided AGAINST wearing pantyhose this evening and IN FAVOR OF wearing something more fun (i.e. my tight overalls I purchased in Denmark at Noa Noa, flexible, and still fashionable. Moreover, I’m able to wear more suitable shoes and completely avoid getting footed).

However, since I am trying to crank out some last minute designs, I must leave you with this:

NEW Large Loopy Hoopy designs
Hoops made from old Curtain Rod Holders. These babies are FANTASTIC. I’ve always loved hoops. I’ve been experimenting with old CD hoops (more on that later), but came up with these in the meantime. They come in gold plastic and wood wood. They will be on sale tonight at Phlox for $20 AND I’ll be putting them in my Etsy.com shop soon!

(Seriously, these hoops are soooo hot.)

Hope to see y’all tonight!! Starts at 6 pm!
