Today I am wearing a vintage dress, sweater and belt from Red Velvet, Leopard tights (Target?) and shoes from Jessica Simpson Collection. I love mixing and matching. Happy Christmas Eve's Eve! Are you going to open some gifts on Christmas Eve? We are! Love, elsie

I love your leopard tights! I’ve been looking for a good pair of floral tights to go with this navy jumper that is to diiiie for. 🙂 I think tights are the best part about the winter/fall seasons, they’re the perfect addition to a dress. <3
Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline

Thanks so much!!!
Becca, this sweater got snagged by Emma, but I have lots in the store. Plus a huge box in the back waiting to come out. 😉
WONDERFUL sweater! 🙂
Elsie,
I am going to be within driving distance of the Red Velvet store next week! We will be staying in Arkansas, but I’m going to try and make the 3hr drive up to see you guys! And to get a taste of Emma’s cupcakes =)
Where do I find the address of the store itself? I know it’s in Springfield, but can’t seem to find the physical address. It would be helpful if it was on the post that is linked in your sidebar!
Hope to see you soon!
<3, Alyssa Mae
Hi Alyssa! We’ll be open tues-friday next week. The store’s address is 211 E. Commercial Springfield, Mo. 65803

that sweater is what dreams are made of. mixing it w/ leopard: perfection.
Eeek I’m in love with that belt!
Hello, Elsie!
So you’ve basically been my biggest inspiration for a little over a year now, and you’ve inspired me to go after every little dream that’s mine, and you’ve inspired me to be creative and have my OWN blog and do fun little art things 🙂
I just wanted to thank you for all the confidence I’ve gained from reading your blog and hearing your stories, and wish you a Merry Christmas! 🙂
Lucy
Oh, wow, I may just have to buy myself a pair a leopard print tights! sooo cute.
love that sweater and dress. Wishing you a merry Christmas Eve too!
I love love LOVE this! You are absolutely darling. I hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas!
You’re so beautiful!
I love the sweater with the clogs and leopard tights. you look adorable! Elsie I knowwww that you probably dont remember but I need help with finding a song that you had posted a few years ago. Ill just describe the video and if you do or do not remember please let me know.
The singers are two dark haired girls. They seem to be sisters. They have that laid back folky sound. The video is like theyre in a tiny marionette(sp?) stage and they are singing about how they love each other (i think) and theyre killing each other. and at the end i think they go to heaven but im not sure. I know that at the beginning one comes and sits down at the little stage and looks in it and starts watching the tiny doll version of them start singing.
if you could help that would be greatly appreciated. thank you so much! :]
Have a Merry Christmas!!

Madi. the singers are ‘The Ditty Bops’!

This is the second time in just five mientus that I’ve seen this particular viewer being used for flickr favorites. How do I find such utility? Lovely favourites by the by.Chris T.’s last blog post..
jenn Posted on Stitch a felt bonnet on her head, trim with lace, she will be fine. Alternately, give her yarn hair that goes to her sheuodlrs. She’s cute. You’re not far from success.

Posted on Akang Kalau berkenan setealh kontes selesai bikin tutorial dunk, langkah langkah yang abang lakuin dalam meng optimasi blog dalam kontes Stop Dreaming Start Action, jadi para pemula seperti saya dan laennya ada masukan untuk bisa menjadi lebih baik lagi, makasih atas perhatiannya
Posted on Sama nih, gue juga rada-rada bingung mau gamina dan konsen dimana di tahun 2009 ini. Beberapa website bisnis saya juga sepertinya bakalan gue tutup dulu, habisnya tidak memberikan profit lagi. Saat ini lagi coba nyari2 ide laen lagi nih
Posted on Berbelanja via online adlaah salah satu budaya baru dalam hidup saya. Termasuk belanja baju lebaran. Ada sisi plus dan minusnya sih. Tapi sejauh ini cukup membantu saya dalam mengirit waktu belanja.
Just lovely! I usdeto do something liek that but with tissue paper. Take forever, but very rewarding! thanks for sharing today… I am totally trying this one out!~ Emily N. from “too Blessed 2 Stress”
Posted on I’ve not seen Twilight, but have seen all the others you meoitnn. From the trailers and from others’ comments though, it seems like Twilight lacks any kind of underlying philosophy. Personally, I’d recommend anyone go see a well-done version of Romeo and Juliet (even Gnomeo and Juliet!)instead .
Carol, I’m a true believer in the power of art to open doors to the unoelperxd and underexamined; look forward to seeing your wild horse photos at a gallery right here in the Big Apple. Thanks again for donating the use of one of your spectacular Pryor Mountain horses photos to the graphic identity/signage/program for the event, Managed to Extinction? A Legal Forum Assessing the 1971 Free-roaming Wild Horses and Burros Act that took place at NYU School of Law on Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Posted on ah bie, kemampuan meamarl lo diragukan nih :D:Dmendingan lu cari keyword abang gorengan ..di google lagi rame tuh abang gorengan jual tahu tempe .!!!!bakwan pisang ade, cireng ubi kue bola
I have been following Carol and her Images of our Wild Horses for the last six motnhs, and have found an amazing attachment to these animals The pure energy, gracefulness and power displayed speaks volumes for a fundamental right of wildlife set in a real natural habitat ..may these habitats exist forever.
