{shari} flagged

This is my cute top for our casual Friday night Shabbat dinner. I waited patiently for it to go on sale at Anthropologie. I snagged it for 50% off. Any suggestions as to what I should wear on the bottom would be most appreciated!

{shari} cupcake bling

Aren't these sanding sugars beautiful? Perfect for our Sailor Glam cupcakes. Seen this morning on Abbey Goes Design Scouting. Here's a link to the website for these and every other color you can imagine. A fantastic resource for bakers!

{sadie} earrings

i really like wearing earrings, and i assume now that i will probably be wearing them to the service and the party. i bought long dangly ones at a vintage store a few months ago that are a nice silver, that i am pretty sure i'm wearing for the party. i don't think they would be good for the service though, a little too long. but these ones would be really cute for the service, small and pretty.

striped {sadie}

heres a collage i made on fun striped clothes, and then just a few other nautical items thrown in. i really like the headband, thats just above the bottom shoe and next to the ring. i like headbands, but the only problem with them is that they always just get lost in my hair.

romper. {sadie}

i think rompers as a party outfit would be a good idea. i like the idea of not having to wear a dress to everything all the time, and rompers can still be dressy if they are the right kind.

i really like the color of this romper. maybe it would be somewhat easy to try and make a romper? just a thought.

{shari} tallit for sadie

When working on a quilt, I do a lot of scavenging through my stash. Over the past few months, anytime I ran across a fabric I liked for Sadie's tallit, I set it aside. If I didn't, it might be months before I found that particular piece again. Really. Here is a small collection of fabrics, yarns and trims to use (or not) in Sadie's tallit. I'm really fond of the hand dyed velvet and the navy with "waves" of stripes cut on the bias. How Sailor Glam is that?

Here are a couple of other tallits that I've made.

{sadie} dressy

today, i found this adorable dress, that i thought completely fit the theme. my mom and i think that this would be a great dress for the service, because its not too flashy, but still really nice looking. i really love how high the collar is, it reminds me sorta of a kimono dress, which i really like.

oh, and thats me by the way.

{shari} knot yet clear....

.....on how we're going to use knots. But we will use knots. Somehow. Somewhere.

{sadie} finger waves

these are all pictures from a teen vogue spread a few months ago. the hair and makeup is really, really nice and something similar to what i was thinking about for the hairstyles of the night.

{sadie} intro

last summer, i read a book called "the mysterious benedict society and the perilous journey". for me, this book kicked off everything sailor glam. in the book, it talked about pretty rugged sailors, big burly guys with tattoos who lifted cargo onto boats. the whole time i was reading it, i just felt a connection, as if i really needed to do something about this whole sailor thing.

so i decided that i would make my theme to my bat mitzvah "sailor glam". basically, all of those sailors, lifting cargo, with the big tattoos and all of the flags, but girly. i'm not really sure if this will make sense right now, but soon, you will really get it, and hopefully, love the idea as much as me.

this link shows one of my videos on my youtube channel inspired by sailors.
