Friday's Fashion Find's (F.F.F)

      
    
     This week's installment of Friday's Fashion Find's is inspired by Holiday Parties, gatherings, and a fun filled season.  Christmas is just around the corner, and Holiday Parties are on the brain.  The warm colors and fabrics of the season are what I loved finding this week.  As always, a little Vintage inspiration and bold jewelry choices are my cup of tea!

     This week's selection of designers and artist's are a talented bunch!  Department Store clothes and accessories look so cheap to me in comparison to what these artist's make with their own 2 hands.  Who said "handmade" had to be frumpy?  These designers say otherwise!  This is couture at it's finest!!

From Left to Right:

Copper Drama Earrings from Andrea at Full Moon Rising 3:  "Dramatic copper earrings with three different shaped triangles hand-cut and hand-hammered and then torched to produce extreme color. Long hand-forged copper earwires. They jingle and move. All sides are very smooth and comfortable.

Measure approximately 2 1/2 inches from earlobe. The color is more vivid than can be captured in a photo.
These earrings began as a sheet of copper and a roll of wire. They are original and one-of-a-kind."

Felted fine merino wool poncho sleeve jacket from Amanda at Sand Maiden:  "mid length lightweight jacket with draped poncho sleeves
Features funnel neckline closed with 3 black frogs.
This fabric is a little bit lightweight for wearing outdoors in the colder months, this jacket is best worn indoors as a sweater set or outdoors in moderate temperatures.
FABRIC:
We had this wool custom knit after searching the country wide for the right thing. Finally a lightweight felted wool jersey with lots of stretch and soft enough to sleep in although why would you do that? It has no itch and is just the right blend of cozy and sexy. Both the fiber and yarn were domestically milled and knit (in the USA) which I feel great about.
Hand dyed with low impact, color fast dyes in an array of colors."

The argyle - luxury silk-lined clutch bag in soft suede leather from Rowena at Red Ruby Rose:  "This clutch purse is a tactile little beauty - featuring a butter-soft yellow suede leather with a striking argyle diamond pattern.
Firmly constructed and padded, it is soft to the touch but robust to carry and hold.
Lined with a beautiful black dupion silk for a little added luxury."

Sandmaiden soy and organic cotton lycra jersey belted V dress from Amanda at Sand Maiden:  (Ya, she makes gorgeous stuff!!)
"Jersey below the knee length dress with oversized shoulder and body with pegged hem.
Features boatneck, side vents and shoulder vents, finished with a satin stitch overlock edge (not raw edges or variegated zigzag).
Comes with a wide sash that can be worn many different ways, finished with trupunto style variegated purple thread (solid thread in same color as fabric on request).
As with all Sandmaiden styles the grading, designs, patterns and sewing are done by me in my home so do request custom sizing."

Teal Silver Smudge Hand Stamped Heels Sz 10 from Rachel at Crafttastrophe:  "These shoes are such a beautiful mess!
These plain teal heels were just begging to be quirked up a little! Now that I've got my hands on them, they are kickin! These simple satin-like fabric heels have been hand stamped in varying sizes of gears and circles. I've also tossed in some tiny dots-just for good measure! They also feature an adjustable sleek silver buckle. So cute! The shoes are brand new and made from all man made materials. They have a sturdy 3 3/4in heel. The design has been stamped in high quality fabric paints. It is resistant to water and chipping. Expect normal wear and tear.
This is the only one there will ever be of this, so if you like it, snatch it up now!
Sz.10."

From a beautiful vintage cuff, a unique shell-embossed was mounted and topped with a captivating blue harlequin vintage opal glass cabochon and finished with Swarovski rhinestones. As the materials are hard-to-find, this will only be produced in very limited quantities.
This cuff measures approx 1.75" (or 40mm) tall and 2.5" (or 60mm) wide (as measured from a top down view). It will arrive well-wrapped and boxed to delight - Wondercandy way! Your satisfaction is my joy =)

Labradorite Cushion Ring in 14k gold and Sterling from Madelynn at One Garnet Girl:  "This Blue to green cushion cut Labradorite cabochon measures around 3/4" in long and 1/2" wide.
I hand selected this stone because of it's extraordinary fire and overall flash of blue and geen. For some reason it reminds me of the library, argyle socks and librarians.
I hand made the setting which is a matte finish sterling with two 14k yellow gold accent balls.
Size 6."
