Nature + Light {A Styled Photo Shoot}

This past Saturday, I had the great opportunity to create some headpieces for a styled photo shoot with Kayla V Photography. She always takes amazing photos and creates such a beautiful and unique vision through her work.
For this nature/light-inspired photo shoot, the gorgeous (and SUPER talented) Megan Fay modeled my hairpieces as well as makeup by CheeksMakeup, hair styling by Katey-Bug Brown and clothing/styling by Tyler Freund.

A sneak peek of the new {Tea Party Collection}

A few days ago, I completed some hair pieces for two {sweet} little girls and their tea party birthday. I used tulle, lace, pearls, added some sparkle and ruffles which is quite perfect for a new "Tea Party Collection."
Here's a sneak peek of what's to come to Love Sparkle Pretty!

One of these pieces was featured in my Valentine's Day inspired photoshoot right here. These hair pieces are made on alligator clips but can also be made on lace headbands for newborns or plastic headbands for little girls as well. If you would like to order one or more of these pieces before they arrive to the shop, please email me at kaylanicole0317[at]aol.com.
{Have a beautiful day!}

{Cupcake} Baby Shower Gift + Pink {Tutu}

I just finished a handmade gift for a close friend of mine for her baby shower. Her little girl is due April 26th and she is naming her
Laila Lynn
or as mommy calls her
"Little Cupcake" :)
So, to go with the cupcake theme,
I created a couple hairpieces and put them in a cupcake box.

I also made a onseie cupcake with a white newborn t-shirt that I sewed a pink ruffle to! :)
So girly right?

I also made a super cute tutu made with white, light pink, and sparkly hot pink tulle.

I'm so happy with how everything turned out!
I can't wait to meet this little girl late next month! :)

LA Fabric District Finds :)

On Saturday morning of June 18, 2011, I took a trip down to the LA fabric district with my grandma in search for some good finds...and boy did we! The first store we went into my mouth dropped and my grandma said, "Wow! We are like kids in a candy store!" There were aisles upon aisles of different trimmings (incl. lace which is my favorite!!), ribbons, appliques, buttons, jewlery, you name it!! We even got lost trying to find the restroom within all of the aisles! Here are just a FEW pictures I took looking up to the ceiling with appliques and ribbons:

We spent about 5 and a half hours in the fabric district and these are some things I brought home with me :) Enjoy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is probably my favorite buy of the day (& most expensive...shhh)!!! It's SILK and beautiful and oh so feminine!! I was told I have expensive taste by the seller but it's gorgeous and soft...how can you not fall in love with this fabric?

I bought this ivory lace trimming with pearl strings. I use it in hairpieces :)

I bought this elastic type of lace to make little headbands with :)

I bought lots more buttons where these came from :) The majority of them were made in italy & france. I will use them for the center of flower hairpieces.

75 cents a yard for this ivory lace trimming!!

I fell in love with this vintage like lace :) & for 50 cents a yard...I was SOLD! Can you tell I'm just a bit obsessed with lace? lol

More lace ... :D

This pink floral cotton fabric and shimmery pink fabric are what I am currently making a little girls ruffled skirt out of :) It should be done in a couple more days!

I also bought lots of fabric for the nursery :) I still have another fabric I have to buy...something that's light brown but I bought the bulk of it and will start making the leaves for the tree on the wall as well as a little pillow (made with the fabric on top) and I'm sure I can find other things to make in the nursery as well with left over fabric :)

The last find of the day came when my grandma and I got lost trying to find our way home (darn LA freeways)! We were lead to an Olympic Donut shop where we gorged on some ham and cheese croissants and I also endulged on a large chocolate shake!!! YUMMM!!! It certainly was a great day!!! :D
