Friends

So Ever Ellie and SweetPi are nicknames I made up for my friends. They both have a great sense of style so I created some Polyvore sets based off their outfits and personalities. So first Ever Ellie.

E has an outfit like this, Urban Country look. The jeggings with the leather stripe on the side, the fringe crop-top and the cute kitty-cat bag. She wears these ankle boots that kinda look like these and she always adds a bracelet or earrings. She recently added a beanie to this cute look.

SweetPi was wearing an outfit like this the last time I saw her. She has a denim vest like this one, she recently got it for her birthday. She actually has these cute avocado earring from Claires, and black high tops. She likes cool simple eco looks with t-shits and jeans, but she jazzes them up.

Comici (that's comic with an i). Comici wore an outift like this a while ago. She loves beanies and mustaches. She actually has this Jack Skellington sweatshirt, and likes to wear shorts with tights.


My other friends names are PixieStick (I call her Pix), Mars and Moltres, Snake and his gang.

What to Wear: Middle Ages

Today I went to this place that had a Medieval theme exhibit. I thought this would make a good post.

What to Wear: If you go through a time warp to the Middle Ages.

The Middle Ages started around the 5th century (401 to 500 AD) and ended around the 15th century (1401 to 1500). Only wealthy people could dress in fashion in the early Middle Ages. People that were not wealthy dressed in wool, leather, and cloth. So here we go on a fashion journey through the Middle Ages!

In the ladies wore dresses with narrow waists, long, tight sleeves, and long skirts. Headdresses were also in style, here are some examples of headdresses often worn by women.



This is called a Butterfly headdress, but I like to call it the Queen Amidala. It's very oddly shaped and was often worn by the wealthy. 

This style is called a Heart-shaped headdress. 
This one looks Queen Amidala-ish, too!

Headdresses are probably the weirdest things about the fashion back then,
 but some people might think pointy shoes are the weirdest though. 

Corsets were often used to add drama to the women's outfit and waist. Italian silk velvet, was the most luxurious,and hard to get fabric. So if you are time warped to the middle ages, wear long dresses, exotic fabric and flamboyant headdresses

Vintage Tea Party

I have always wanted to have a tea party. Pretty dresses, cute decorations, and delicious tiny treats. As you can kinda tell, vintage is my favorite style. So here are some ideas for a vintage tea party.
Tea Party Invitation High Tea  Bridal Shower by WestminsterPaperCo, $20.00
Whether it's high tea, or a small party with friends, invitations should be bright and cheery with lots of flowers.

Outside, this would be a total dream. Old dresses or vanity makes a pretty treat table.

Convenient, fruit cups. In Mason jars, positively perfect.


  Party Strawberries dipped in white chocolate then sprinkles. Ta da! Colorful and yummy.
Maybe without the sprinkles for a vintage party, but colorful and cute for a more vibrant tea party.

Lovely for a tea cup and plate table. Really a very pretty color.


Gild and Grace: Pink lemonade...
Pink Lemonade, if you don't like tea. I would actually do this because some of my friends aren't big tea fans.
