2 Random {things}

good morning and happy saturday, folks. :)
so, i know i don't usually share blogs on things other than my shoots but i couldn't resist, i say! ...

{a little shameless plugging}
this is my current pride and joy ... it's been a MAJOR work in progress for the past year and a half, but i FINALLY got the time and motivation+inspiration to finish her! ^_^
i now have her on ETSY - in case you're a collector of fine art. ;)
it's actually a likeness of Anna Paquin from a fashion mag - she's SO gorgeous and demure!
i'm hoping to have enough time to create enough more pieces to sell my paintings and photography on a semi-regular basis ... we'll see! ::crosses fingers::


annnnd! for my 2nd random Saturday tidbit, i just HAD to share this LOVELY gown ...

this site is A-MAZING for finding vintage dresses - whether it be for party or a wedding+bridal!! they're all incredibly pretty and retro - i DIE every second i'm perusing the site, hehe.
it gives me something to save for, AND photo shoot inspiration! a double whammy!

okie dokes - that's all outta me for today!
wish i could wear that little number out to the birthday party i'm out to tonight! ;)

Vera, in Indy?!?

why yes - Vera Wang was in Indy, well in fashion spirit rather than in the flesh, but it was fabulous nonetheless. ;)

cute, but kinda pregger-ish, no?


love.


i was able to catch the bridal gown fashion show at the swanky Conrad Hotel thanks to my fab fellow fashionista friend, gabrielle poshaldo.
there were amazing hors d'oeuvres, wedding cake vendors (my personal fav ;)), and gowns (of course!).
i don't know if i found my future gown but if i had to pick from this group it would be ...

THIS little number. ;)



BEST cake vendor EVER - this little wonder was filled w/ ganache!! ... i only wish i could recall the company! she's in noblesville ...


my 2nd fav.


ok, tied for 2nd. :)


prettily etherial.


beautiful detail.


a tad too sheet-esque for moi.


work it, work it.


Eee! SO cute!


AWE-SOME train.


ginormous flower = ms. bradshaw = J'ADORE. ;)


personally, this was my favourite model.

cheers!
