1. I’m positively smitten with Jill’s Dream Catcher DIY. It’s so pretty! I’m pretty sure we need a yellow and gold one in the Red Velvet studio.
2. So inspired by this lamp. Something like this would be magical in my bedroom…
3. yowza! somebunny with teeny tiny feet needs to buy these. wish they were my size! they’re lovely!
4. My mom’s wedding dress (above). It’s a simple maxi dress and I love wearing it. I snuck it out of her closet many times before she officially gave it to me. π
5. patchwork is good.
6. Wedding photos from the 1970s are kinda amazing. Do you think we should do some photos like this for our wedding portraits? (source)
7. 1970s sunglasses. I love big sunglasses. These are from Etsy.β₯
9. The Brady Bunch.
10. and a little Lux Lisbon never hurt anyone.
Hope your Monday was wonderful! I have to admit, I’m a little bit anxious to share all the wedding stuff. I’m trying to wait till after the big day, through, so that I’ll have more photos to share. I’m sooooo excited! XO! elsie

The Virgin Suicides is one of my favorite books! (not the mention a great movie!). I keep going back and forth on loving big sunglasses (my boy says I look like a bug) but I can’t help myself.. I think especially vintage frames are adorable!
Great post! So dreamy! I’m super into the 70s bohemian vibe so this is right up my alley!
Oy I remember the 70’s…most of them anyway. Yikes I’m giving away my age……NOOOOOOOOOO! OK I’m done. I love the patchwork dress and I really LOVE those shoes. Too bad my feet aren’t tiny.
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha… I love Jan’s hair.
Looking forward to your wedding-stuff’s pictures!
those shoes are my size! ahhh! I might just have to get them!
I am madly in love with your glasses. The green cat eyes are killing me! What a beautiful lady!
The Virgin Suicides is SUCH a beautiful movie to watch. π
The series of three images up there show it perfectly!
I love that dream catcher too! I’m hoping to my hand at it soon π
Love it all! And to answer your question, YES you should DEFINITELY do some 70s wedding portraits. I mean….is that even a question? Haha. Oh and you are just too pretty!
Awww love all of these! I’m sure you’re wedding will be fabulous!…good luck with all the planning!
I just watched The Virgin Suicides for the first time! it was so dreamy and definitely will be added to my favorite movies list.
That top photo of you is adorableee. <33
I love the dream catcher…I wonder if I could pull it off though..have fun with the days to come!! π
I love the 70’s wedding photos, would be a really unique and original touch to you wedding pics for sure, I say go for it!
Yes, you MUST get some 70s portraits done. My dad was a wedding photographer in the 70s, so we have TONS of that bidness lying around the house. I laugh every time but at the same time secretly love it. Do it!!
I hope you make one – I’d love to see your take on it – sure it would be perfect! AND PLEASE at some point do some portraits like that – because they’re both hillarious and beautiful at the same time. Lastly…patchwork maxi’s is on my list of to do’s and you’re a total mind reader π Great list!
Lux Lisbon is the prettiest.
And my parents had similar wedding photos! It was a silhouette of them staring into each other’s eyes, in the flame of a candle, on top of a book of love poems. My dad, a photographer, did it himself and was so proud. : )
Great list!
xo,
Sarah
um, yes, those seventies photos are must! you and mr. larson can totally pull it off, too :).
i want those shoes!!!! too bad theyre way too small!

Um, I’m dead certain that that is the exact tux my dad rented for his and my mom’s shindig. Chocolate velvet collar and all. I’ve never seen another one like it, awesome.
i miss brady bunch!
Elsie,
I’ve always wanted to let you know how amazingly brilliant you are. You have inspired me in more ways than I can express. Thanks for that.
Wonderful list! Have a great week π
Love and Turtledoves,

I just posted on my blog about how i wished i wouldve gotten the big vintage sunglasses that i saw at an estate sale this weekend. I love them too!
okay, so i’ve seen every episode of the brady bunch. i was so nerdy over them growing up, and ever since being hooked i have always thought i belonged in their era.
also, THIS GAL has the tiny feet for those fantastic shoes! that is a great shade of salmon/coral if i ever did see one! just wish i could splurge on them right now. wah!
love the photos! everything is sooo cute!!

You absolutely should get some wedding portraits like that. No question!
#6 is somehow both brilliant and hilarious all at once! …I approve.
Yes do the 70s photos π My mum has a great series where she is looking into a mirror and they photographer snapped her reflection. Never fails to make me giggle, BUT the photos are beautiful!
I adore the virgin suicides, its my top fave book, love it!! Those super cute shoes are in my etsy faves and have been in a while, im just wishing and hoping they might some how fit me!!!

Ah, so much cuteness in one post!!
I say yes to the wedding photos and the huge 70s shades, I’m all about large sunglasses. Speaking of which, I’m in LOVE with your green glasses!
I’m a total 60’s girl myself but, I can’t help but admire the 70’s! So fun. I completely adore that your mom gave you her wedding dress. Mine is a simple sun dress that I wear a lot, maybe one day I’ll be able to give it to my little one.

Yay for head scarves and big glasses! Such a modern look right now too. And I really thought that feathered lampshade was a clutch at first sight. Which would also be cute…
And I think I’m off to make a dream catcher now.
π
I love Twiggy’s style, too! She was part of my inspiration when I got a pixie cut : )
OMG! if my husband wouldn’t kill me for spending $125 on a pair of shoes i would buy those in a heartbeat. not very often i find adorable shoes like that in my teeny tiny size!
I really love those shoes. And thank you for your comment on my blog! π
Oh yes. Lux. Yes, there is nothing wrong with a little of her! Sometimes I put that movie on and watch it up until the very end….and then turn it off! I know thats silly, but its just so sad! Anyhoo, love the seventies vibes that are circling around…great inspiration! Jill’s dream catcher was beautiful, definitely on my list of summer projects! Have a great day lady! xoxo
eeek those shoes are amazing, and they are my size..I have teeny tiny feet!! <3 If only!!
BIG yes on the wedding pics inspired by the 70’s!
The Brady Bunch – LOVE!
I love Lux. sigh.
Do you have any photos of your mom in her wedding dress? I love old wedding photos! : )
Love your giant cat-eye style glasses in your self-portrait!

Hell yes to the 70’s inspired wedding photos!!!!

I would have been happy if you listed that wedding portrait for all 10 items up there. So good.
Thank you for sharing the lovely dream catcher DIY. I have been collecting feathers and bits of lace, and I think this might be the best way to put them to use.
I love that feather lamp!
