Hot Pink Madness

by franci 27. January 2009 08:47

A friend of mine is having a baby and her nusery is hot pink! What a rockin baby that will be, huh? Hot Pink is my new favorite color (until I get sick of it in a couple of months and pick a new one! lol) Here are some fab hot pink ideas for sweets, dresses, weddings, parties, shoes, art and gorgeous flowers.

  

Pictured above is the beautiful and always put together, but waaay too skinny, Mrs. Beckham with a hot pink Hermes bag (yea, I never said you could actually afford everything I picked out! BUT we can dream, girls.) Hot, hot shoes from Zappos.com Chloe Sevigny in a super short & chic Luella mini dress. Hot pink flowers, yummmmmy cupcakes and the gorgeous fashion icon Marilyn Monroe.

A standing ovation for the fashionista that is Gwen Stefani, skipping the traditional route to don a hot pink and white wedding dress! Pretty Gerbera daisies, more yummy cupcakes, a candy necklace, & chic shoes from zappos.com once again. A cute Donna Ricco hot pink dress....Izze has awesome bottles that are simply designed and yummy enough to serve at any party & match almost an color scheme. For the daring ones (like me, 10 years ago!) you could sport some hot pink hair??!! Ok, so maybe that's a stretch, but it would absolutely be fun! Hot pink incorporated into invitations, announcements, & favors is always fun as well as some pink coral, for a centerpiece.....

Enjoy the Pink!

Top 7 at 7pm Holiday Gift Guide

by franci 3. December 2008 16:46
Hey everyone! As some of you might know, I had a little accident on Monday (read the posting before this one if you don't know what im talking about) I have been feeling horrible....But even with a concussion I looked through all 55 shops....It was painful and exhausting, but still great to discover a bunch of new shops! Due to the painful throbbing in my head I changed things up a bit and did a holiday gift guide......7 things for 7 different people.
I will be in Chile (the skinny little country in South America lol) from December 7th to the 18th so there will be no Top 7 at 7pm until January. :( :( I will, however be posting 'other' fun things so be sure to check back!

Top 7 at 7pm

Horrible Accident

by franci 1. December 2008 13:34

Thank you to everyone who posted for the Decemeber 1st top 7 at 7pm!

I had a small accident early this morning.....My husband installed a pull-up bar in one of the hallways in my house. I jumped on it to do a pull-up and the bar came off the door frame. Of course,  I was already all the way up. I fell straight down on my butt and smacked the back of my head on the, extremely hard, TILE floor..........If you're thinking omg ouch! you are absolutely correct. My head was bleeding most of the morning and now hours later I'm very sore and achey all over with a throbbing headache. Needless to say, the Top 7 at 7pm will NOT be happenening tonight. It usually takes me a good 4-5 hours to go through the shops, gather images, links, and set it all up.

I'm feeling really horrible so it will be postponed until WEDNESDAY...at 7pm (the PINK giveaway is also postponed). 

Sorry for any inconvenience. :( But please be sure to check back!

Thanks

Mrs. All of a Sudden Accident Prone

P.S. My hubby took pictures of my head, but they are too gross and graphic to post. Thought you might wanna keep your lunches in your tummies!

Top 7 at 7pm

Who doesn't love PINK?

by franci 26. November 2008 07:34

I love to travel, but the plane ride is the worst part!...I get bored VERY easily so I make sure to have a fair share of candy, magazines, & music along with me. On my latest trip (Mexico, I'll be blogging about it soon!) I grabbed an issue of one of my favorite magazines, PINK!

From www.pinkmagazine.com:

PINK exists to promote this new generation of women who are making a significant impact on the world through their work and their lives-while being true to themselves.

Being a business woman myself I try to read about other successful women as much a possible. Try to steal some secrets or even just to get inspired and excited about what possibilities are out there for me and my little business! Kiss This is why I have decided to do a magazine subscription giveaway!

Please post a comment here telling me why you would benefit from this subscription!

The winner will receive 7 issues of PINK magazine FREE!!! (courtesy of Friago) & will be announced on December 1st right before  the Top 7 at 7pm. 

Please be sure to enter your email so I can contact you!

Good luck to all.....

Top 7 at 7pm

The Top 7 shops - November 17th

by franci 17. November 2008 15:59

 Welcome back for another Top 7 at 7:00pm on Monday nights! Tonight I changed things up a little bit....I tried to only feature the shops that left me comments, BUT, I didnt have enough submissions :( I combined a couple of categories and had to leave some out. Last week I received almost 100 entries and it was a fantastic bunch to chose from.....Please let fellow Etsians know about the Top 7 so we can have more categories to feature and tons more great products...

Remember, If you want to participate in the Top 7 you MUST post here, on this blog on the top 7 posting that has the correct date (right above this posting)....I post on threads to remind you, but I do not review shops from there. It just gets too confusing. Also, it does not matter how many shops have already commented I look at ALL of them so comment away! If you have been featured in previous Top 7's and would like to try again for the following week, YOU CAN, the only requirement is that you have at least 5 NEW items in your shop that I have not seen. 

Thanks to everyone who sumbmitted and everyone visiting....

Enjoy & please comment!

(Me) in a very small nutshell....

My passion is design. I love to create and see other peoples creations. I'm meticulous and full of energy about pretty much everything. I can't have one boring moment in my life or I go crazy. I love to talk and shop and look at beautiful things.

I am the owner of Friago.com, an online jewelry boutique, which features my own collections along with the work of other talented jewelry designers whose work I admire & appreciate.

More good stuff.....
