So glad you stopped by today!

If you have a few extra minutes and you’re a designer (or would-be designer), I urge you to visit Flirty Fleurs this week for a 5-part series on making changes in your business…very interesting and relatable…

a few changes

Things have been quieter than usual around here over the past weekend and surrounding days as the last minute details of my cousin's wedding were in full swing.

I had planned on documenting it to share, but alas, that didn't happen. Too many things to do! I managed to snap a photo of her while hiding from the chaos in the bathroom about an hour before we headed to the chapel.

Carrie's Wedding

Doesn't she look gorgeous? Hopefully I can snag a few photos from the photographer and other folks to share. Until then, this is all I've got.

On another note, I've been steadily working on a few changes in the shop, namely the photography. Here's a sneak peak of the new look. I've still got some kinks to work out, but it's going quite well. What do you think?

Dalena Vintage

Oh, and before I get back to work, don't forget to enter the $50 giveaway I've got for the shop. Happy Monday!

bits of love


the collector

exploring collections
(entering the minds of others)



dreaming in ephemeral light
(bejeweled and all)

I have dreamt about you and forgotten everything

taking morning coffee
(after waking late Sunday morn)




mornings with best friends
(catching up on cuts and bruises)



wearing lacy details
(with antiquated rhinestone buttons)

Types Of Sleeves, Women's Clothing / Cloths




Sleeve clothing is very important to me, because I think that if I use my clothes with the wrong arm, can ruin all my fashion dress.

So I know that the sleeve of my garment can determine my clothing style and the way I see it when you combine my sleeves and other fashion accessories.

There are a variety of fish, women / women to choose. I have listed just a few of them here.

If you're a fashion designer or not, you can sew or buy a shirt sleeve fabulous fashion and clothing to suit the occasion.
