Autumn Dame

This is a semi-selfish post.

The larger reason for writing it is due to my LOVE for the following items:

*Fabulosity

*Hand crafted things

*Clothes

*Cardigans

*COLOR!

*Mixed fabrics/patters - especially when it’s surprising, but somehow “goes” perfectly

But most importantly, as a fellow entrepreneur,

*Self-made companies

The good news is, ALL of these things are found in little nooks and crannies across the world, and usually I find them by stumbling across them. Lucky for me, my friend Mari has not one but TWO companies that have all of these items rolled into adorable, wearable packages. She has INCREDIBLE taste and amazing style-sense, and I am more than ecstatic that she has launched her two darling websites www.AutumnDame.blogspot.com and www.MariElizabethCouture.blogspot.com

Most of you already know my love/obsession with every single piece, but for those of you who don’t, you MUST hop on over and atleast browse.

As an added bonus, she has frequent giveaways and discount items – and today is a giveaway day! It goes on until the 30^th, but this darling cardigan is more than enough incentive to enter the drawing. Check it out.

Now, if you’re too lazy to go look for yourself, here are a few pictures of my favorite pieces created by the fabulous Mari. Enjoy!

I own this in a longsleeved version - i get SO many compliments every time i wear it!
are you kidding me with the bird detail? SO adorable


I own this - and i love it. Its my all time fav head piece.
Mari custom-made my version of this - its a white sheer pinwheel and a smaller tan one on a thin, white leather band. LOVE it. I've worn it more times than i can count, and get STOPPED asking where i got it.
does this necklace not SCREAM Anthropologie? And everyone knows that anything reminiscent of Anthro equals perfection.
