etsy finds: atypical knittery

I've never been a big sweater fan.  I think it may have something to do with being "well endowed."  So many sweaters have a high neckline and high necklines tend to make me look saggy.  Sad, but true.

I do, however get cold very easily and I also really appreciate the care that goes into a hand knitted piece.  Personally, I crochet, but I think the same principles of determination apply ;).

So how do we get the joys of hand-knitted, sweatery warmth and goodness without getting the uni-boob?  Etsy of course!

indie wed: inspiration for a military-esque wedding

I've always liked military-inspired style and with it trending right now, it's a good time to take some brass-button inspiration and get your wedding in-line and at attention… okay that was a pretty lame play on words, but seriously, this could look really awesome :)

(A bit dramatic, but inspiring none the less)

When I started Googling I was surprised as how uncommon this seems.  Therefore, it's a lot easier to find amazing military style coats and dresses if white isn't your preference :/  That being said, with a little digging and creativity, there's a lot of inspiration to be had.

Take the Princess of Style herself, Kate Middleton, in this lovely from Reiss which does happen to be white:
