Preview of new HH products

Yesterday Michael and I did a photoshoot and took over 1,000 photos. Needless to say, I have a lot of TON of work to do. I've spent the day thus far photoshopping and I listed a couple of items.












Check out http://hallandhautes.com/ to see what I've listed so far and stay tuned for the coming listings.

Fakesgiving Picture Journal

As promised, here are some more photos of the Fakesgiving I had yesterday with my friends.











I unfortunately didn't get any good pics of David as Janeane Garofolo or Michael as Donatella Versace. He did turn into a topless mermaid later in the night though.

I'm sick and feel icky--congested, coughy and tired. Last night after everyone left from Fakesgiving I got a fever of 102.7 and became deliriously ill, made Peter go to the store to buy me medicine, and eventually passed out after I took a lukewarm shower to break my fever.

Today I felt a little better because I didn't have much of a fever and joined Michael and his family at Claim Jumper for Realsgiving. I had prime rib and it was delicious and I love Michael's mom because the way she talks, she makes everything sound like it's a really juicy secret.

After dinner, Michael and I went to see New Moon which was great.

Between all of this, I worked on the website and am proud to offer you some great deals. 20% off your entire purchase for Black Friday! Plus special markdowns on black items. See some of the sale items below and check it all out here: http://hallandhautes.com/

I drank 3 cups of coffee this morning and accidentally dumped about 1/4 cup of sugar into my first cup. So I've been working very dilligently. Today I'm taking pictures and listing things. It's cold and wet and Seattle-y looking outside so I turned the heat up and am listening to Dr. Dick's Dub Shack. Yessss.

Better photos of my boots + new etsy listing

Today I went outside to take some pictures in natural light. Here are those boots I talked about a few posts ago. Hot, huh?







And I just put some new crazy cool vintage pumps in my etsy shop.

Lay it Down

Lately I've been kind of in a slump. My brain has not been working like it should and I wanted to sew some more clutches, but I couldn't do it. I tried making ruffles (easy!) and was an epic fail.

FINALLY my head cleared. And yesterday I made THREE new clutches. I'm very happy with them, and my favorite is the yacht clutch because it's so Blair Waldorf prepster.

Here are my latest creations!




Old Money Yacht clutch made with an upcycled turnlock clasp, old charms, beads, costume jewelry, vintage fabric and new white/navy chain fabric.

Engrish T-Shirt Clutch. I made this from a shirt I got in Japan but didn't really fit me. Made from recycled materials so it's eco-friendly (only the snaps and thread aren't). Check out the description I made for it on its etsy page too. Haha. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26282954





Family Candy Jewels Clutch. I had this idea to use felt candies on a clutch and I really like how it turned out. I am enjoying this odd combination of colors. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26283907

Insomnia-driven crafting

Not even going to post pictures of everything I listed this morning. Toooo tired!

Good night!

last day to enter hk giveaway + pandaprons!!!

Today's the last day to enter my Hello Kitty Giveaway! Tomorrow I will announce the winner. Haven't decided if I will use random.org or what yet, but I promise it'll be fair (: And thank you to all who entered so far! I'm so happy with how many entries I've gotten and welcome all you new readers who find my blog via the giveaway!

In other kawaii news, I just listed some adorable aprons I made. Anyone need a fun apron for summer cookouts? Or an excuse to learn how to cook?

100th Post!!!

So I keep hitting these milestones and I feel like I should be posting something more exciting, but you're just going to have to deal with the fact that I am boring.

My parents went down to Oregon to visit my grandparents. I haven't had the house to myself in a long time! I'm kind of excited about it, but I don't know what to do with myself. My plan was to do some sewing and watch crappy free OnDemand movies. I think I'll clean up my room a bit, do some laundry, and do some etsy stuff.

I decorated these shoes and put them on etsy today. They're kind of ridiculous and I like it.

Happy Saturday!

Yay I have 50 followers!

Kinda excited for my new readers and excited that I am doing the hello kitty giveaway because I suspect that is how some of you n00bz found me.

gross, I just typed "noobz"

Anyway! I appreciate all the thoughtful comments on my previous post about my ex. It's old news, just something that hits me every now and then. I cheered myself up today though because I took pictures of myself (one of my fave hobbies) wearing a vintage green cocktail dress I am selling on my etsy shop!

And I found this way too cute owl cookie jar!






It's 80 degrees here. I live in WA. WTF. Happy Weekend!

Etsy Front Page!

My first time being on etsy's front page! My "I didn't know when to stop" clutch was featured (:



Uhh ... Exciting!!

model time

I always wanted to be a model when I was a teenager. Here I am modeling some of the recent vintage finds I've listed on etsy. Also! I put up a widget so you'll see on the right hand bar there's a selection of items from my store (:

Ugh. Self-timed photos are not the greatest. lol
