I´ve had tooth ache for the past three days, and while soothing the pain with pain killers until now, I am starting to realize that what I really need is a visit to the dentist. I just don´t have the time! (Or the money for that matter.) I felt so sorry for myself that I stopped by a secondhand shop on my way home from work, and I got this mini dress for $7.

Dress: Secondhand
Tuxedo belt: Secondhand
Shoes: Din Sko

I was recently lucky enough to receive a hair comb made by Beth Beverly. Her combs are made out of feathers and bird parts that are dressed with things like rhinestones and crystals. It’s funny how much drama feathers can add to an outfit, and these combs are no exception. You can place one in your hair wearing the most simple dress and create a completely different look.

None of the birds are killed for the sake of fashion, and Beth says she can buy a pheasant and use the meat for cooking and other parts of it for making accessories. The point is that nothing goes to waste. As a trained taxidermist she has the skills needed and with an eye for pretty things she creates some really unique hair accessories. The combs cost from $120 to $200 and you won’t find two that looks the same. She also does custom orders. You can see her and her partner’s work at Menagerie Design where you also find contact information for orders.

The pictures are from her website, and if I am not completely mistaken, the second comb in the second picture is mine! I will post pictures of me wearing it soon (it´s really pretty)!

I promised you pictures from the bachelorette party so here are some. Since they aren´t really fashion related, you can press “more” to view the rest of them. The theme of the party was the color pink. When I was a kid I didn´t wear anything but pink. I never wore jeans, but loved track suits the most. So when the girls arrived early in the morning they had all dressed in pink and I had to put on a track suit that said “Bride” in the front and “Kissing single life good-bye” in the back.
