show me some shrug!

Well for some reason it just occurred to me that it might be chilly outside on my wedding eve. Why this only occurred to me now is beyond me seeing as we've been having non-summer for the last couple of years! So I started desperately researching wraps that would compliment my vintage wedding dress. Too bad so sad for me that I very successfully found the most gorgeous examples on Etsy, but with only 2 business days left to the wedding they will clearly not be delivered in time! So now I'm still in the same predicament but drooling over what I clearly can't have. But oooohhhh how I'm in love with them and would like to share them with anyone looking who has more than 2 days to show time!

wearing a larry

Last week Joelle Bloomer posted these super cool "larry" scarves on her blog. She saw it on Project Runway Canada - a beautiful chunky knit shawl worn by Kim Cathers. Apparently, a 'larry' is an over-sized hand-knit scarf, made in Vancouver using alpaca fleece. I don't care if they are called "larry" or "steve", I think they sure are divine, and would definitely wear one to keep my neck warm and fashionable on this cold blizzard-y day. A funky and casual winter bride might really look cool with a 'larry' - we're always scoping cool ways to warm up the brides we work with up on their wedding days!
