Strait-Laced

This original work reminds me of an art project I did back in elementary school.  

It goes without saying that this is way better than my second-grade handiwork, though.

You know what, Internets?  I'm in the mood for something pretty, and you can't get much prettier than lace. Especially when it looks as pretty as this pearl-studded pillbox does:

Admit it: it's lovely, ain't it?  Well, just you wait--there's plenty more where that came from.  For example:

There's this pretty blue-and-gold lacy fascinator, complete with complementary-colored beading and feathers.  It is just screaming to be worn to a cocktail party.  Or a really classy tailgating party.  Whichever's clever.

Speaking of beading, I heartily suggest you embiggen the pic on this embellished pillbox.  Trust me--it'll be worth your while.

The best thing about this red-and-white fascinator, other than the fact that the color scheme means it'll be perfect for the holiday season?  It's gotta be the dyed ostrich feathers.  That detail seriously makes this fascinator for me.

And just to wrap this post up on a high note, here's a fabulous Venetian lace fascinator:

So if  there happen to be any brides out there reading this and are thinking about alternatives to the tiara-and-veil thing, consider this my candidate for the finishing touch for your Big Day.

And on that note, see you Friday!
