There’s nothing quite like the feeling of a brand new lip balm/eye shadow/you can fill in the blank with your favorite beauty item. This week’s (belated) Favorites post is all about things for that wonderful “new beautifying things” feeling. I picked out a bunch of lovely things, perfect for filling stockings of making a little [...]
It’s been quite a busy day, but I couldn’t call it quits for the night without sharing some of the many, many, many ideas for making your home jolly that I’ve been coming across. Speaking of beautiful Christmastime inspiration, Jeska’s minimalist Christmas tree post is really lovely and well worth a read. I’ve broken my [...]
I really like today’s Favorites gift guide, because it includes some of my favorite Etsy shops and because it means I can talk about my Christmas card drama. I had myself convinced that I could make my own cards. I’ve made them every year for years, but this year was busy. “That’s okay!” my inner [...]
I tried a new brand of nail polish this weekend. The brand is called Butter London and they make dozens of beautiful shades all without harmful chemicals. There are so many pretty shades it can be hard to choose. I finally decided on golden West End Wonderland and the special edition, The Black Knight. They’re [...]
I’m feel like keeping things simple today. I read lots of pretty blogs and follow lots of wonderful folks on Twitter who distract me all day with links to crazy, beautiful things. A girl could go crazy trying to remember where she saw -for example- those adorable kitten-shaped cups that she can’t find anywhere now. [...]
I’m not sure if it’s the birthday money burning a hole in my pocket (Such a funny expression. I wonder where it comes from…) or what, but I’ve got my eye on all kinds of shiny, pretty buyables today. They all have a wonderful cozy and/or sparkly feel to them, which is kind of perfect [...]
I don’t know where my head is these days! I had this week’s Wednesday Loves post all set to go and completely forgot to post it. So today we have a belated loves. It’s so chilly and rainy here this week. In other words, we’re having my favorite weather. I mean it. I love cold [...]
I’ve been feeling a bit hurried and busy lately, but I gave myself a smaller amount of schoolwork* last night and a little time for painting my nails red and looking at pretty things. I’m feeling recharged and a little inspired today and I have lots to share! Flickr never stops inspiring me and making [...]
Wow, internet, sometimes you are full of all kinds of good things! This week you were so full that I kept putting off this post. So, I guess for better-late-than-never’s sake, here are a whole bunch of things that I’m loving right now. This week in my Fashion Design class we’re working on our croquis [...]
Last night as I finally submitted my last piece of homework for my construction class (for this week anyway), made hot cocoa and sat down to watch the premier of the second season of Downton Abbey , I promised myself not to get too busy and hurried and miss out on my favorite season of [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
