Outfit: Four-Leaf Clovers

Happy St. Patricks Day! I had already posted an outfit from the other day when I realized that today was St. Patrick's Day. So I quickly took it down and dug out the festive dress I had been saving.

Outfit Details:

Dress- Thrifted

Cardigan- Walmart?

Scarf- Thrifted

Flats- Target

Satchel- Thrifted

Belt- Forever 21

I am pretty sure everyone in my neighborhood thinks I am a big weirdo now.

Bucket Filler Friday

I haven't done a Bucket Filler Friday post in a long time! Well, now I have a bunch of new blogs I have fallen head over...flats for. 

Lauryn Green

Lauryn has become a very good friend of mine ever since she won one of my giveaways. It is so crazy to me that something as simple as that can get two people talking and eventually create a friendship. I love her blog so incredibly much. Her blog is in Spanish, but I use the Google translator and it is perfectly fine. The drawings on her blog are so adorable! She created the cute drawing of me on my left sidebar. 

Grace and Viola

Grace and Viola is one of my newer daily reads. I always end up getting pulled in and read more and more of her blog. It must be the way Mandy writes, she is so honest. Her photos are wonderful, I am always so excited to see what thrift, antique store, or rummage sale she has been to most recently. Also, her outfits are adorable! Her style inspires me on a daily basis. 

Woodii

First, I fell in love with Courtney's terrarium necklaces, then I found her blog. Her blog is awesome because you get to see some behind the scenes pictures of her terrarium making. She even posted a tutorial on how to make one of your own. I love to get to know the sellers behind the Etsy shop, so I am always super excited when I find out they have a blog. 

Check out these awesome blogs, I know you will love them as much as I do!

Get To Know your Etsy Seller: Wispy Love & Giveaway!

1. What inspires you to design all of the lovely clothing, collars, jewelry, etc. in Wispy Love?

I'm very inspired by my own child hood. I find it fascinating how immersed I could become in my toys. I loved setting up my Sylvanian doll house and then just sitting there and dreaming about each of their little lives, I'm inspired by that feeling of playfulness. I love the experience of seeing or smelling something and being taken right back into that magical little space. Whispy Love is my expression of that place, whimsical, soft, perfect & play pretend.

I'm currently working on a collection that's inspired by the love of growing up with my two sisters which I'm very excited about! I'll be updating with that on my blog.

2. What is your favorite thing to create?

I always get really excited when I'm sewing something new or using a different fabric.  I'm not sure I can say it's any one thing. I love creating in any form whether it's sewing, drawing, painting, crochet or crafts. 

3. Who do you have model your products? (I noticed they are not all the same person!) 

Models, family, friends and me.

4. Is it fun taking all the pictures for your shop?

Yes! I love photo shoots! It's the part that really tells the story of the collection or pieces. I adore playing with that and they're always lots of fun!

5. Is there a particular place you like to buy your fabric from? 

At the moment everything in the Whispy Love Store is being sewn from the very full cupboard of fabrics I have collected over the past few years from all different sorts of places.
