when we all head to the oscars, walking the red red carpet with our favourite dashing hollywood star!

*swoon*

now i know you're probably very busy preparing your acceptance speech, doing interviews with vogue & oprah, and tactfully having to turn down offers from johnny depp, george clooney, & josh holloway who are all begging to escort beautiful you! ... but be sure to take a second and show us what handmade (or vintage) lovelies you'll be wearing to the academy awards!!

just...
1. choose a fun frock (or something else)

2. choose a fun accessory for the look.

3. cut & paste a direct link where i can find each item on the net into your comment.

4. make as many 2-part outfits as you'd like (feel free to include goodies from your own work, too, if you' like!)

5. next week i'll include 10 of your looks in a follow up post, and i'll be sure to link to your lovely shop/site, too! great free advertising for creative, dressed-to-the-nines YOU!

6. and hey... if there are LOTS of entries, i'll get the random.org generator to pull a few for us to see!

during the toronto international film festival, we showcased what some of you were wearing - and heavens - where you gorgeous!

can't wait to see what you come up with this time, nicies! see you on the red carpet, cutiepies! i know you'll look marvelous!

  5. Ooh, since I'm going to the Oscars I think I'll choose the most undeniably handmade dress and ring. And since I'm going with Brad Pitt, it may as well look FABULOUS. See you all there!

    And I would pair the dress with these sparkly earrings:

  7. Great looks. I'm into soft and sweet more than high glam so this would be my look even though I'd probably stand out for the wrong reasons on the carpet.

    This sweet yellow vintage number:
    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23099409

    With one of my own favourite designs:

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21108783

    The perfect accessory is this silver-covered olive leaf on a chain:

  17. Okay, this is my last one! I can't help sharing all these lovely finds! You did say we could post more than one, right? I seem to have taken you up on that!

    This Farie Silk Organza Gown (custom color, but I love the one pictured) is so dreamy and lovely:
    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37814014

    A perfect pairing for this gown is a silver, jeweled headband, made from vintage components:

  18. So much fun! I'm having a very hard time deciding, so I'll post three.

    The first:

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39740696

    And for the accessory, I can't decide if I would play it safe with these sweet earrings: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41142940

    Or go all out with this awesome fascinator:

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40964409

    Probably the fascinator, since I'm obsessed with them.

  19. Second look:

    Sweet vintage frock

    With a modern accessory to avoid being too sugary:

  20. And finally:

    This amazing number:
    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33644230

    With these funky earrings:

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38866185

    Or maybe this hairpiece?

    http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35847098

    Probably the earrings. . . .

  21. I'm very much a jeans girl and I'd probably break my neck wearing high heels and something slinky and sparkly, but here goes for my outfit:

    This skirt: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38459683&ref=sr_list_5&&ga_search_query=navajo+skirt&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

  24. Such a beautiful show! I'm so proud to be included. Thank you so very much!

  25. So much fun! Ok, I'm joining and it was the hardest decision I have ever had to make... since 32 million viewers eyes will be on *me*!

    This dress is listed as a wedding gown, but since this is the Oscars, I am dressing to impress. This stunning *cocktail dress* is reminiscent of old hollywood glam and although it is very sexy it has a lot of integrity and looks absolutly classy (my mom will be watching after all!)

    GOWN by kalioseano - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40887052

    And the perfect cocktail dress would not be complete without the perfect cocktail ring!

    Wow, I wonder if I'll get to meet Mr. Clooney...
