Perhaps not terribly shocking given our love for sock monkeys, but we are pretty enamored with this Sock Monkey hat.

Vintage Mexican Wedding Dresses
For rustic elegance for a southwestern wedding, or a beach destination wedding, we think these 50's and 60's vintage Mexican wedding dresses are muy lovely.
Found this on Ruffled. Sadly, it sold a while back on Etsy. Maybe there are others like it just waiting to be found in closets and estate sales?
Or how about this genuine 50's article. Just look at the detailing below! Methinks we're on a bit of a lace kick!
Found this dress here.
We have a new southwestern wedding invitation design coming out soon, a southwest skyline, similar to our Desert Skyline holiday card. Keep your eyes peeled for our new design launch, just around the corner. We're super excited!
Our Mi Amor and Malaga designs might also suit a southwestern style fete or fiesta. Or for beach destination weddings, our Visit Hawaii is easily adapted to other shoreline locales with a simple text customization.
Thinking warm thoughts on chilly day, and wishing warm weather your way!
We Heart Vintage Lace
Are there others out there who have a fabric collecting compulsion? We do, admittedly. We wonder if we could figure out how to make stuff like this:
How about this lace medallion? Absolutely gorgeous! Can you imagine how people used to craft these by hand?
And how about this swiss lace? Swoon! So sweet and simple.
And this one looks like something a Klimt lady would wear— wild!:
We'll put learning lace crochet techniques on our To-Do List. ; ) But in the meantime I wonder what sorts of amazing things we could make out of these?! All found on AntiqueFabric.com. You should visit before we buy them out!
For lovers of lace imagining a lace-filled wedding, remember our lovely Vintage Lace save the date design.
Ivy & Aster
These ethereal dresses from Ivy & Aster are stunning! We are also loving the botanical print background....wouldn't that make a pretty backdrop for a photo booth?

Happy Feet!
Chilly winter days have reignited our mini-obsession with Collègien slippers from France...
How can your feet not be (warm and) happy in these puppies?
Mark Shaw Fashion Photography
For a Friday fix of vintage fashion, view this jaw dropping collection of photos; we found them here. Some may be familiar to all you fashionistas and photo aficionados, but we know they'll never get old. Here's a few to whet your appetite:
Would love to have this for the holiday party, no?
Or maybe this...
And we would love to wear this any day.
Enjoy all your holiday get-togethers and festivities this weekend!

Ban.do Shoe Flair!
As you know, we are big fans of Ban.do and even bigger fans of ingenius budget-friendly flair (and, like a bunch of ravens, anything that glitters...) - and thus, we were thrilled to discover their fab shoe clips! How cute are these hearts?
We also love us some pom poms!
Cute! Fabulous for the bride, bridesmaids, holiday parties, or simply to put a little pep in your step! Find them here.

The English Department
We are currently crushing on the lovely wedding dresses to be found at The English Dept...wondering if it's absolutely necessary to be getting married to own this dress! Lounging in a field of grass swathed in tulle and lace is looking quite enticing...
The English Dept. is a design studio and wedding dress boutique, carrying creations hand-picked from independent designers such as Jenny Yoo and Ivy & Aster. Owner, Elizabeth Dye, designs her own gorgeous collection of wedding gowns as well.
Seriously, does this dress fulfill all our Jane Austen wedding fantasies? Yes. Yes it does...
You can find The English Dept. here and in Portland: 1124 SW Alder Street (503) 224 0724

Zulily Promotional
Have you heard of Zulily?
Zulily is a fab, beautifully curated listing of brands that specialize in kids and moms, be it clothing, decor, ephemera or stationery of course!
They have weekly and daily coupons and promos. It's simple and painless to join the list (we love avoiding spam, too)— just provide your name and e-mail and you're set. They even have some deals for non-moms... and it's good inspiration for mom-wannabes.
Hello!Lucky has a current promo, through 11/9/2010, that's good for our birth announcements and great for holiday cards too.
Peruse the cuteness!
Some of our favorite stores for kids' stuff are their favorites too. They represent blabla, HABA, Zid Zid, Urban Smalls, Kiwi Industries and many more!
Oh! Tiny Owl Sweater!
We love to knit here at Hello!Lucky, and we especially love to knit tiny adorable sweaters for little people (ah! the (semi)instant gratification...), so when we saw this adorable sweater pattern byKathrin we were, ahem, a wee bit excited!
This little moustache pull is pretty darned cute too! The patterns are available on her Etsy shop...and she has a cute and inspiringblog too!
Fluffy, Tulle Goodness!
What girl doesn't fantasize about floating about in a cloud of tulle? Ouma creates these delicate concoctions that would make even the most, ahem, possibly not-so-graceful of us, feel like a a picture of grace and ballerina-like elegance...
How dreamy is this hand-dyed ombre skirt? Coveting this deeply!
And how gorgeous would these be for bridesmaids? These are dresses that would never be relegated to the back of the closet!
You can find Ouma here and get some made-to-order fanciness of your own...
