About Mrs. Socks

OB. SESSED.

July 12th, 2010 @ 11:34 am by Mrs. Socks

I’ve been a stalker for months now. I’ve been circling high above my intended prey, and I think I’m finally ready to take the plunge.

What could I be stalking, you ask?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m drooling over my keyboard so much that I can barely type!

Okay, so all of these adorable little things are from Emersonmade. I discovered them through Style Me Pretty a few months ago, and at the time, thought they were too expensive (too expensive for me, I mean… not too expensive for what they are!). But time and time again, I’d wander back over to Emersonmade and peek at the perfection of these wonderful little flower miracles and I would stay on the site for HOURS. No joke. Just looking at all of the flowers over and over and over.

I think it’s time to put an end to the madness, bite the bullet, and buy some of these suckers.

First order of business: Groomsmen. I was planning on buying extra flowers to do the men’s bouts, but after looking at those two men with the little yellow pom on their jackets… well, that sold me. I can buy a pack of 6 of those little things (I’ll buy bright yellow) for $32.00. Currently, the yellow I want is out of stock, so I emailed them to see when they’ll be back!

Second order of business: flowers for me. I want to compile different flowers to make a sash to pair with this dress:

Oh hi there, J Crew dress! I bought this dress because 1) It’s awesome 2) It was on sale for $99 3) I needed a dress for a summer wedding I’m attending in August 4) I also needed a dress for our “Welcoming Luncheon” the day before our wedding for our out of town guests.

So I’ll buy some of the beautiful Emersonmade flowers, attach them to a ribbon, and make a sash out of it!

Third order of business: Wrist Corsages for the moms. I might end up DIYing this, but if I fail, I’ll buy the above wrist corsage for both of our moms. My mom is VERY particular about sticking pins in her clothing since they leave those little holes, and all wrist corsages I’ve seen with real flowers look too “prom” to me.

I’m so excited! Yes, it’ll be a bit costly, but you know what? This is just like my shoes and clutch. I stalked them for months to see if I really, REALLY wanted them, and I still did, so I got them—no regrets! I have a feeling that this will be a similar purchase.

Have you stalked something you wanted online for months before buying?

These are great! I wish I had been like you when I was planning my accessories — I purchased some things too quickly, only to go back and order the things I *really* wanted eventually anyway.

These are beautiful! And if you’re still thinking about them, I agree - it’s time to bite the bullet!

I’m wearing a sash similar to the large pink one, although mine is ivory and tan. I love it - I got it from etsy seller Bexcessories.

I stalk my wedding party flower maker all the time. AR Design on Etsy. I’m amazed at her talent. I’ve already paid for my stuff, but I still stalk her to see what new designs she’s made.

Emersonmade has some great stuff! Thanks for the info.

Was not familiar with Emersonmade until now but that’s probably a good thing bc everything’s so freakin’ cute, I prolly would’ve spent a fortune accessorizing my bridesmaids!

I LOVE THOSE! Totally worth it!
… This coming from a person who stalked Ann Wood’s sweethearts for months, and then decided that since I had wanted them for months, it was OK to spend $300 on a damn cake topper that doesn’t even come with a base, even though there is no room for it in the budget whatsoever. WHATEVER, NO REGRETS. =)

I too am getting married this month and am OBSESSED with Emerson Made! I boughr all of my bridesmaids the spring clutches and a flower for my hair. (What is it about a wedding budget that feels like monopoly money?) Now she’s got clothes- she’s killing me! Too bad I’ll have a husband who won’t understand spending $230 on a party dress. Guess I’ll have to get sneaky :)

[...] was one element that I volunteered to take the lead on, and that was the favors. Like the lovely Mrs. Socks, lately I’ve found myself swooning over fabric flower pins like these from Emerson [...]
