bridesmaid's gifts + flowers!

A while back I stumbled upon a website called emersonmade.com. This very adorable woman makes (and models) cloth flowers and sells them via her website/blog.  When I discovered the cream dahlia clutch, I was in love.  I thought it would make the perfect bridesmaid gift for the right wedding.  I had already purchased a gift for my girls, and I wasn't sure I was really into the 6 of them having matching purses - but it was too gorgeous to totally leave behind.  Solution?  I just bought one for myself.

And while we are on the subject of emersonmade - I saw the photo below and was instantly inspired.  I have since ordered a navy blue blazer from J. Crew.  I can't wait to wear it through spring and on my honeymoon in New Zealand!

I also bought the small red poppy broach to wear with my new navy jacket.  I couldn't resist.
