Earlier this summer I worked with a bride named Jessica to create some custom Jill Earrings for her bridesmaids. I loved the marbleized pink Czech glass beads we used and I was SO excited when she sent me some photos this morning! Jessica looks just gorgeous and the earrings looked perfect with her bridesmaid gowns and the pink roses. Congratulations to Jessica and her husband!
Just wanted to you give you all a heads up! Coming this winter I will be adding framed clutches and other bags and sewn goods to the Lost & Fawned line! I'm so excited to finally put my love of fabric to good use! I've been stocking up on beautiful Heather Ross, Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry and vintage fabrics and perfecting my technique. 
Another thing I'm loving this year are really chunky hand knit hats, gloves, arm warmers and scarves, especially in beautiful colors. I've had my eye on this gorgeous yellow hat by iLE AiYE for months! The color is just divine and at only $25 how can you go wrong? Here are some more chunky knits for the looming winter chill...
I'm recently fallen in love with vintage brass cuffs and have started stocking them in Lost & Fawned to share the love. I've never really been able to wear cuffs since I have petite wrists and most in stores are too big for me. But I am finding that the vintage cuffs come in slightly smaller sizes so I can wear them without worrying that the overwhelm my hand.
After weeks of searching I found them. The hunt for the perfect wedding shoe is over. I found my beautiful seafoam Seychelles on shoefly.com, the website of a shoe boutique in Seattle and know as soon as I saw them they would be perfect. I have difficult feet so I was nervous about the fit but as soon as I put them on (and they fit like a dream) I was a Seychelles shoe girl for life. 
I just happened upon Mollusa's shop on Etsy and I am totally in love with the whimsical styling of all her pieces! I love this set of clutches and the way they all coordinate without being identical. She also does garters, ring pillows, hair accessories, jewelry, brooches and corsages. Everything you need for a beautiful wedding party.
Just wanted to let you know Lost & Fawned has a new collection of cabochon stud earrings. They are perfectly lovely for summer and are incredibly affordable (all under $10!). Lost of colors and shapes with more to comes soon (I just got some lovely glass cabochon flowers!). Could be a lovely bridesmaid gift or earrings for a casual bride.
There are so many gorgeous clutches on etsy, but in many cases they are priced so high most of use can't afford to spurge on an accessory like this. While doing some digging during the yart sale I came across Yunisac's shop and couldn't believe the incredible sale on these gorgeous clutches! I immediately ordered the one pictured above (I'm thinking I'll use it at my wedding shower or rehearsal dinner, maybe even the wedding day) for only $31 (as compaired to similar ones I've seen for over $70)!. There are PLENTY more gorgeous clutches that would be a great way to add some color and pattern to a bridal ensemble.
*Sigh* I just love this piece, the Turquoise Mist by Twigs & Honey. It would be so fun for our reception (hello "something blue") or second reception in Ohio. It would be so fun to wear on a special date or something too. I just think it's beautiful. That's all. Just had to share.
I can't help myself. She listed this piece and I just had to share. Another beautiful flower from La Petite Chaumiere on etsy. I was half tempted to but the lovely Cindy Lou seeing as it's only $18.95!
As promised, here it is the first Lost & Fawned giveaway! In celebration of my re-opening and soon-to-be 50th sale, I'm giving away a $20 gift certificate toward anything in my shop. This includes my custom bouquet lockets and Jill Earrings. 
As promised, here is an interview with Jo, the artist behind La Petite Chaumiere, a new and promised etsy shop.
Our invitations aren't QUITE ready, but should be by early next week. So instead here are my other accessories (other than my earrings and bracelet which I've already posted). 
My shoes were purchased a few months after I selected my dress and will look so lovely peeking out of the bottom on the beach. I knew I wanted something flat (I have enough trouble not falling on my face on a daily bases, let alone on a beach with heals) and gold and when I saw these on Zappos.com I snapped them up right away. They are by Poetic License.
Hopefully I will have more to show you later this afternoon. All my other accessories are under wraps until the big day (so Jared can't see them). If something comes in the mail today though I'll have to share this afternoon. We'll see!
Next week I'll be featuring the upcoming artist behind La Petite Chaimiere and her gorgeous hair adornments! For now she is offering FREE shipping today on any of her hair accessories! Check out her etsy store for details!
Time for a shameless plug... Since school is out, I've started selling on etsy again, which means my custom bouquet lockets are also back in stock! I started making these last summer and they became so popular I had to stop making them during the school year in order to make time for school work.
I've been eying Bonzie's etsy store for ages now and I just adore their deconstructed Victorian aesthetic. I was so pleased to see them as the recent featured artist and I just had to finally do a feature post. Ever since I saw the Fallen Angel Bolero (seen above) I have be DYING to see a real bride in it. I think it is so soft an dramatic and would give the right dress a very special and couture edge. And for a handmade garment, made to fit you that is this high fashion the prices are outstanding. I love all the ruffles, lace, pleated details and tulle. Each piece is so special and gorgeous and each has it's own character and story.
