Today's {A Little Something} is perfect for an outdoor, rustic wedding.

I just love the look of the toasted meringue!

Etsy Find ~ Make Believe 'N

I think I could spend hours every day looking through Etsy and all of the amazing things on there.  You can find anything and everything you want from jewelry to artwork to clothing.  I'm constantly in awe of the creative designs out there. 

So, that being said I have decided to start a new weekly post: every Thursday I will feature an Etsy Find.

To kick start this new segment, I am featuring Make Believe'N.  I first 'met' Krissy from Make Believe'N through Twitter and then connected again through TWIPS.  This past weekend we had the chance to get together for dinner (along with Meleesa from Oceanside Bride) and actually  meet in person - such a rarity in the blogging world!  It was such a fun dinner and great to meet such wonderful woman in the industry.

So now on to the goodies.  All of Krissy's items are unique, handcrafted, gorgeous and would make wonderful accents for a wedding.  She makes fabric bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, etc. as well as a new line of wedding belts -  that are AMAZING.  Her pieces are full of color and will help you make your wedding special.

Charcoal and Granite Statement Belt

Striped Cream Statement Belt

Champagne & Cream Bouquet and Matching Boutonniere

Misty Morning Bouquet Package

Satin Flower Necklace

Pale Pink Peony Hair Fascinator

Some seriously amazing stuff!  Be sure to go check out Krissy's shop to see everything else she has to offer.  She will work with you to customize pieces to match your wedding theme and vision ensuring you get just what you're looking for.

One Dress. One Woman. One World.

"One Dress One Woman One World" is an idea that all started when a couple decided to retake their wedding pictures in various locations around the world.  I first read about this couple in the news online and then had to check out their website and loved what I saw!

On their wedding day

The couple, Jeff and Jennifer, got married on Easter Island in 2008.  Jeff decided that the lighting wasn't perfect the day of the wedding and so they retook the pictures the next day.  This sparked the idea of Jennifer donning her wedding dress many times again as they went on adventures around the world.

Check out these beautiful pictures of Jennifer all taken by Jeff around the globe.  Be sure to check out their website for more too!

How cute are these tutu bridesmaid dresses?

I think they got it just right with the pale pastels and personalized accessories.

Mon Chéri

Oh Summertime in Paris - so amazing!  This time last year I was working in Paris and recently I've been reminiscing and wishing I was back there...

All of these pictures remind we of Summer and love in Paris - C'est romantique!

I love all of the outdoor cafes - délicieux

To just sit and ponder life like this would be wonderful!
