( dream dresses )

okay so this is probably the only dress in this list that is actually appropriate for my wardrobe/current lifestyle. it's a betsey johnson & what girl doesn't want to own a betsey johnson dress?

if ever i had plans to marry in vegas, you better believe i'd be ALL over this dress!

dear future brides maids...just so you know, you may end up wearing something along the lines of this cutie dress...but with less frills because obviously i have to be the frilliest.

okay so i know vanna white is the only one who can pull off a dress like this but...it's only $50...and who knows, maybe one day i'll crash wheel of fortune! (it has the prettiest low back...and just LOOK at all of those sequins!)

oooooh. this one is amazing!!
i don't know a single girl who wouldn't feel pretty in this.
the detailing on this dress is so gorgeous. i love the sheer neck as well

oh dear, i don't know what it is about these style of dresses. the pastel colours, the tulle, the fact i will never have an excuse to wear them...i'm in love.

i love the colour & classic'ness of this little number

lovely lavender. isn't it adorable?
yes perhaps a tad ridiculous as well, i'm aware.

( winter warmth )

so yesterday at the show, B was trying on some fur vests/jackets and for fun i tried one on too. it was absolutely gorgeous & i know that killing animals for fashion is wrong but when it's vintage/recycled fur, that makes it a teeny bit better right? real fur is just so incredibly soft. i couldn't stop touching it.
anyway, it got me wanting one...bad.
here are some etsy faves:
soooo pretty! this one comes first as it is my favourite one :)

i think this one is so darling.
i love love love this one, with the collar flipped up!

some may look at this one & think it resembles a dead animal & your grandmothers couch annnnd it does, but i think it's super cute as well!

i love the mix of leather & fur on this one

i love the pattern & fur around the wrists on this one

also!!
check out this awesome giveaway by yours truly dear over at her blog
it's for a $65 gift card to csn which has a bazillion amazing things that i want!

( one of a kind show - toronto )

some of my girlfriends & i took a day trip into toronto yesterday for the one of a kind show & ohmygosh, i was in heaven. i could have spent daaays there...and thousands upon thousands of dollars. it was just filled with pretty & cute things! here are some of my favourite booths.

sonia ahlers makes THE cutest felt bunnies and here's the proof:




it's hard to tell as they look so teeny in the photo but there are tiny little rabbits in teacups...TEACUPS! i just about started crying when i saw these. i think they are one of the cutest things i've ever, ever seen. unfortunately i was trying my best not to buy things for myself & therefore refrained from making the purchase...but ooooh, they are SO cuuute.
blog

this ladies illustrations & artwork was absolutely gorgeous, she has a website & a blog you can check out as well!
