wednesday loves: treasury edition

Hello! This week is flying! I’m just stopping in between schoolwork to share sixteen things that I’m loving this week. Yesterday, I made an Etsy treasury. Even after all these years (I think it’s been three?) I am still so inspired by all the good on Etsy. I really like this treasury. It’s such a [...]

wednesday loves: pink and red

February is here! I’m back to the school grind. This semester I’m taking two fashion design classes and a class on art and thought during the 20th century. It should be an interesting and challenging semester. And I’m not sure why, but the flood of pinks and bright colors that this month brings is kind [...]

wednesday loves: cozy things

Snow, rain, snow, ice, and more snow. That’s what things have looked like around here for the past week. I like winter weather and the way it makes hibernating indoors with warm blankets, comfort food, and good books extra appealing. Wow, this post is starting to sound very lazy. But I don’t mind admitting, that [...]

wednesday loves: a bit of this, a bit of that

All this extra time that being on break from school has meant more time for finding neat things on the internets. This week’s loves are a little hodge podge from all over. Starting with the most gorgeous home tour I’ve seen in ages, via Design*Sponge. The photos make me want to curl up in a [...]

wednesday loves: deck the halls

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 [...]

polished

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 [...]

wednesday loves: pairs

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. [...]

wednesday loves

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 [...]

wednesday loves: inspirations

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 [...]
