Romantic Wearables Part II

Crystal Clear Marquis Crystal Long Beaded Dangle Earrings in Silver Filigree Trumpet Cone by FiveLittle Gems

See those? That’s how we’re starting off today’s finds. But these aren’t part of the finds. These earrings are a pair that I have been coveting for quite some time now. Why am I posting them, you ask? Because I’m showing off the work of FiveLittleGems, that’s why. But why?

A. She’s awesome.

B. SHE’S HOSTING A GIVEAWAY! Omigosh. Details of the giveaway can be found here. You know you want to win a pair of her earrings. I do.

bamboo camisole with tie up neckline by sandmaidensleepwear

First in line in part two of the Romantic Wearables series, is this gorgeous cami by sandmaidensleepwear. Not only does it look super super comfortable, but the subtle rippling along the hem gives it just the perfect touch of romance without screaming sexuality. It’s made of bamboo fiber and organic cotton so I can only imagine how soft it must be.

The panties are also available from sandmaidensleepwear, but are sold separately

Felted scarf ruffle collar - Pink Rose by galafilc

Lately I’ve been obsessed with this scarf. I’ve featured it in several treasuries and I absolutely could not resist featuring it here. I love ruffles. I love scarves. Galafilc  has created such a great item here, especially with the absolutely gorgeous gradient of pink (should I mention I also love gradients?) and the added detail of two flowers.

Ah, I can imagine how beautiful this would look against a tan cashmere coat. I need to get me one of those.

Deadwood Bloomers by SacredEmpire

If there is one thing that I am determined to have as part of my summer attire, it is these bloomers. SacredEmpire has a really unique style, and it fits exactly what I love PERFECTLY. Also, I like to theme. A lot. My summer attire revolves around black and white stripes, so I go gaga over anything with that pattern. Ask anyone.

These are especially perfect because as the description says, they are pants, shorts, and a skirt all in one! I already have several shoes I have in mind to wear with them. . .

I’ll be saving my pennies!

Alright, I’m going to say it: I’M NOT VEGAN. Not that I imagine any of you think I am, but I am so not vegan it isn’t funny. My great loves involve fur, leather and steak. I’m not going to try to hide it. I’m going to showcase it.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not anti-vegan. I completely respect that lifestyle; it just isn’t for me. If you don’t want to eat a cheeseburger, just hand it to me. I promise it will be out of your sight in 3.17 minutes. Did someone give you a leather wallet for your birthday by mistake? I’ll adopt it and lovingly inhale its intoxicating scent. (I actually just recently purchased a Leather scented Car Jar from Yankee Candle. I could live in my car now if I had to) and if a skunk perishes in front of your house, my mouth might start to water.

So here we go. The daily finds that are Not Safe For Vegans

Handmade Pair of Raccoon Mittens by CalfDr

This past winter I kept telling myself I needed a new pair of leather gloves (I still do) but I would take these instead in a heartbeat! Winters here in RI tend to be brutal (though I’m not even going to try and compete with Canada) and I am such a baby about the cold weather. I could dress up in full out eskimo garb and still be cold.

These mittens by CalfDr may just be the answer to my winter woes. Since they are made of fur and lamb leather, they are flexible enough to do anything with them and I can clear off my car without my hands freezing up or worrying about ruining a pair of knitted mittens! (I always misplace my snowbrush)

These are a definite must-have. I can’t wait to have the funds for a pair!

Another fury winter accessory comes from DemiDemure in the form of earmuffs

Black Fox Fur Earmuff with Black Satin Flowers by DemiDemure

As someone who owns a pair of fox earmuffs, I have to say they are the BEST. I bought mine brick and mortar because I needed somehow to keep my ears warm and they were clearance. Those babies were the spark that lit the flame in my heart and began my relationship with fur.

First off, they’re soft. There are some furs that are more silky than soft (mink, and raccoon for example), but fox is amazing. Rabbit is very very soft, but I find that it isn’t as durable as fox. Black fox also looks so beautiful when the snow is falling on it.

Secondly, they are warm as anything. I can usually feel the chill of the winter through just about anything, but with these earmuffs on. I’m happy as a clam! So if you can never seem to keep the biting freeze off you’re ears and you like genuine fur, these are the way to go!

Also, DemiDemure opened her shop one day before I opened mine so we’re practically twins.

BuildABurger Quilted Potholder Pattern by OhSewFabulousQuilts

Third, and really I find this genius, a pattern for set of pot holders from  OhSewFabulousQuilts!

How clever is this? Functional and fun, I would love to make these and have them hanging about in my kitchen even though they don’t fit my theme (I’m big on theming). Then again, I love most things having to do with cheeseburgers.

I give many kudos to anyone who can draft their own pattern. I’m not that creative when it comes to sewing, so this is a really exciting find! I’m also a big fan of clever projects. Great job, OhSewFabulous!
