around the world.

maybe not the most exciting of posts, but important nonetheless: I've decided to take the plunge and start shipping to my international customers via first class airmail.

international shipping rates throughout the shop have been drastically reduced from top to bottom and I'm planning to list a few new, wonderful things this weekend so stay tuned...

ps: a sneak preview above of my one of my favorite spring dresses yet!

a vegetarian sxsw.

I am always in the minority when we're in austin, tx as a vegetarian in a world of bbq, so I was super excited to hear about a vegetable centric dinner event being held during this years sxsw.

sadly, we won't be out in time for the meal on the 14th, but reservations for those who will can be had by emailing info@arazorashinyknife.com.

vintage wedding.

monday isn't usually the happiest day of the week, but this one is a bright spot. firstly, yay march! spring is officially just around the corner.

the other wonderful thing about this particular monday is seeing the love flower dress posted on glamour.com's new wedding blog, save the date!

thanks, j!
