Dayle and Eve Living

I'm so excited to give a big shout out to one of my crafty friends Dayle today.  We met through various Kansas City creative events, and she sells the cutest products through her brand Sodapop.  Dayle is a handmaker of things who has been working hard to make her business dreams come true and has just launched a new venture with her friend Melissa, Dayle and Eve Living.

And here's Dayle and her P.I.C. Melissa

Please support this great new venture by checking out their website, and joining their Facebook and Twitter groups.

I can't wait to see what inspiring things these two creative masterminds are going to come up with.  Congrats guys!

love, emmy-ray

Saturday Matinee: 2010 wrap up videos

Who doesn't love a good video?  And with all the media that's available there's something out there for everyone.  Every Saturday I'll be posting a video that I am loving right now, whether it's inspiring, nostalgic, personal, or just plain silly.

p.s. I meant to do this last Saturday, but had some technical difficulties, so this week you're getting a twofer.  Enjoy!

Video One:  Club Drunk Party Hands

It's no secret I'm a sucker for pop music.  If it's got a beat, and I can dance to it I love it (no matter how bad it is).  Here's a fun mash-up I found via a friend on Facebook, it puts me in the mood to party!

 

Video Two: Thanks for the Memories

My 2010 video wrap up of some of the moments and events from last year.  I love collecting memories for my family and friends, and making videos is one of my favorite ways to share them.

Floral Friday: Nonpareil Magazine Issue 07

I've been drooling this week over the latest issue of Nonpareil Magazine, one of my favorite sources of wedding inspiration.  Plus the beautiful table settings, and other event details make me consider taking up event planning as a whole.  Here's a few of my favorite floral images:

Find more loveliness in the latest issue, or in any of the back issues.

Etsy Love: Romantic Lace

Valentines Day is quickly approaching (does anyone else feel like January is flying by?) and I've had lace on my mind all season long since it's been such a trend in fashion.  So what could be more appropriate than an Etsy Love post all about some great lace inspired pieces?

Blog Crush: This Time Tomorrow

There have been plenty of times that I find a cute item of clothing and I'm just not sure how to style it.  I consider myself pretty innovative with my own sense of style, but some lovely pieces pose special challenges.  So it's always nice to have great fashion blogs to turn to for styling advice.  Enter "This Time Tomorrow", one of my favorite fashionistas.  

Her outfits always have lots of layers and fun elements (especially the shoes an accessories).  Plus she gets a lot of her items from thrift stores, F21, Urban, or H&M, so the style she demonstrates isn't unattainable for the average girl.  Plus her hair, ugh, it's to die for!  Here's a few of my favorite recent outfit posts:

This one's my favorite, love the pastel florals with the black and leather:

 

plus I have those shoes (but have yet to wear them).
