Cocktails for Valentine's Day...

Friday's Fashion Find's,
Cocktails for Valentine's Day.

     I'm normally a pretty big Scrooge around this particular time of year. Valentine's Day has never been a real big day of celebration for me (perhaps I have simply not had the right Valentine), perhaps it's the commercialness of it all. Normally, I enjoy a fun night with the Gal's. Some drinks, some dinner, some CHOCOLATE!!

     So this week, I wanted to honor my own time honored tradition of going out for drinks with my best ladies on Valentine's Day.  I've put together a fun, sassy ensemble fit for cocktails. Enjoy, and Happy Valentine's!

Black leather Obi cinch corset style wrap belt from Elizabeth Kelly:  "* Black leather wrap belt.

* Made from super soft grainy leather with a gentle
semi-gloss.
* The waistband is 5ins wide with two narrow long straps.
* This is an understated belt, a concealed side seam was worked into the design to eliminate back ruching/fussy detail. The belt stays flat to the body all round and is very enhancing on the reverse also with it's double layered finish.
* Versatile style, it's really easy to tie. Wear it high on the waist with a pencil skirt or hanging loose for a more relaxed look. This belt can be worn low on the hips too if you're having a bit of a Shakira moment!
*I have been making these belts for years now with customers requesting them in a range of colors tailored to fit. I made a specially commissioned handpainted gold version last year for a Sony advert and often make special commissions for re-enactments, stylists and dramatics."

Copper Cuff Bracelet / Flower Cuff Bracelet from Addiction To Detail:  "Subjects from nature are my favorite, and this time it’s a flower. This one coiled its ways around my copper cuff, just as a real flower might do.

*I took a sheet of copper, cut them into 2 pieces. The larger piece was hammered into an anticlastic shape, great for framing my flower.
*The second piece was used as the flower. I formed it into a tube, twisted and coiled it at one end. The other end was formed into a flower shape. Finally a coiled copper wire was used for the stamen.
*Measures approximately 1 3/8” high, fits a wrist measuring approximately 7 to 7 1/2”, with a 1 1/4” opening."
