I signed up as well and am so delighted to know that we'll both be enjoying her gorgeous hat while it makes its way across North America. <br /><br />She really did do an outstanding job on this stunning 1940s style hat. The level of craftsmanship is as professional as I think any milliner has ever created. She's a remarkably skilled and very creative artist and I feel so blessed to have this amazing hat in my wardrobe now.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19289552892161510242015-02-03T16:42:48.868-08:002015-02-03T16:42:48.868-08:00Oh, this is so cute!

I've actually always been rather self-conscious about my lips, as the top one is fairly thin and neither are plump, but thankfully both those points can be helped with lipstick, gloss, lip liner, etc. I'm also conscious of them because they're the last barrier before the world sees my teeth, which are a billion miles away from perfect and which I'm perpetually embarrassed about. Again, knowing that folks are greeted with a lipstick (et al) adored pucker helps there a bit and I do hope they're admiring my lipstick more than they are crocked chompers. All this to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart for seeing and speaking about my lips in a positive light. I truly appreciate it.<br /><br />Huge hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-13409245989471473952014-12-29T21:40:44.830-08:002014-12-29T21:40:44.830-08:00Oh my word, that hat is stunning.

The colour suits you beautifully and it a gorgeous change from the traditional reds and pinks that are usually worn on lips. You have such a fabulous lip shape, and I love your sharp cupids' bow. This dark shade really sets off your lips and just looks divine!Vanessahttp://www.nessbow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-54964753419552051942014-12-27T19:51:54.944-08:002014-12-27T19:51:54.944-08:00It truly was an incredible experience and Tanith c...It truly was an incredible experience and Tanith couldn't possibly have been more of a dream to work with. She got my vision instantly and knew not only how to bring it to life, but how to improve upon it further - the true mark of a great artist/crafter who works in a bespoke capacity, if you ask me. Should you ever have the chance to work or order from her, I really can't recommend doing so highly enough. <br /><br />Many sweet thanks for your lovely comment, dear Kate. I hope you're having a terrific last few days of the year!<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-75625238028583378462014-12-24T01:47:29.801-08:002014-12-24T01:47:29.801-08:00I love, love, love this outfit!

I would like to get into vintage hats, but I find a lot of the designs don't really sort my short hair.

I think tha...Yes, yes and yes a million times over. I think that a lot of people these days (more so outside of the vintage fashion realm) forget that there's nothing wrong with an item costing more than, say $9.99 at Walmart, if it's handmade or otherwise very high end. It takes a lot of time, effort and skill to create an amazing chapeau like this and the artist behind it deserves to be sufficiently compensated for their work. I was blessed to receive this hat as a gift, but I'm planning on purchasing a second hat from Tanith in the New Year and will be putting my Christmas money towards it. It's an awesome investment in my wardrobe and one that will bring me joy for years to come, I'm certain (just as this fabulous grey and pink hat will). <br /><br />Thank you very much for that awesome compliment! I agree, this outfit would suit the cover of Burda very well. You always say such sweet, uplifting, beautiful things to me, honey. Thank you again.<br /><br />Countless hugs & the very happiest of holiday season wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-63341496498366139632014-12-19T05:24:42.772-08:002014-12-19T05:24:42.772-08:00Thank you very much, sweet dear! This is my favour...Thank you very much, sweet dear! This is my favourite shade of burgundy lipstick ever! It's generally too heavy (colour wise) to sport in the summer, when one tends to wear airy sundress, sandals and capri pants, but come the icy months of fall and winter, it's my go-to shade. I love that it's dark, but doesn't veer into looking costume-y or unintentionally goth (I have an inner goth girl, but I don't channel her that often with my vintage outfits :)). <br /><br />Many thanks again for your lovely compliments - have a stellar holiday season!!!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-50591415756174414102014-12-19T05:17:42.851-08:002014-12-19T05:17:42.851-08:00Thank you sweetly, my very dear friend.

I feel I'm still at an age where I keep one foot in youth (see my previous outfit post with the uber cute Smitten Kitten dress for an example of the far more youthful side of my wardrobe), but I've always been drawn to elegant fashions and they suit my life and age more and more with each passing year. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your wonderfully lovely comment, my dear friend (very much including that you noticed how my glasses and lipstick match - you have an excellent eye!).<br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy holiday season wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-58276422231512521042014-12-19T04:44:52.115-08:002014-12-19T04:44:52.115-08:00Thank you so very much across the board, dear lady...Thank you so very much across the board, dear lady.
