Havaianas, Swarovski, and Glue

Happy Tuesday everyone! Thanks so much for your kind comments and emails yesterday regarding my Mother. We're hoping for good news at today's appointment. :-)

Last night I played with Havaianas, Swarovski crystals and glue. I wanted to show you what I "created" and see what you thought? I am practicing now - but will probably end up selling some of my creations.

At first it was frustrating, the glue was making me crazy! After a few mistakes, I'm getting better at applying the crystals. For the record, I'm not one of those people who is patient OR creative. Maybe this will help me work another side of my brain? haha.

Forgive the awful photos - it was late, the lighting wasn't great, and I have glue all over my thumbnail. Oops.






Do you wear crystalized Havaianas? I do - and I've always paid big $$ for them. From now on, I will surely be making my own! What do you think?

Have a wonderful day!

    Very cute! I've always wanted a pair of the crystallized Havaianas but could never justify that price tag!

    Love it, Lori! I swear, I wish I had a holster for me glue gun! I glue "things on things" all of the time! You did a great job.

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line...

***Just in time to celebrate the holiday season, Shopaholic In Alabama has partnered with favorite brands and designers to bring you a series of festive giveaways! In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke...
