cute tee

i like this tee a lot.  colors are sweet and the shapes is bangin.  ooh and if it were a slouchy, loose tank it would be mine by now.  kinda thinking about buying, doing a little diy cutting and maybe using the scraps to make a necklace, headband, bracelet...?

i'll take this cute little clutch by proud mary...can you see the enlarged, geometric feather print?  crave it.  crave the rest of that outfit too.

i love proud mary's belief that "design that solves problems."  i can totally agree with that mantra, as it has been one of the main driving forces behind my desire to create.  check out their story here.

making the desk job bearable

screw stickers.  ok i love stickers, but i can get down with some post its (only children are easily amused.) they are the most handy little things, perfect for notes-to-self and flip books.  and now in cute-ass shapes:

flock together

i'm a big fan of feathers and other bird things.  i enjoy little birdies because they can fly, come in so many different colors, can spot a meal from the sky, make beautiful noise and (mostly) because they are descendants of the dinosaurs.  and have you ever held a baby chick?  it's freaking awesome.  this post (you'll have to scroll down about 1/2 way) even has me thinking i'd like to have a little family of hens in my backyard...


BUT, certain city ordinances (and boyfriends) prevent me from living the urban farmer's dream, for the time being.  and probably for good reason.  so until i become a vigilante farmer, the lovelies below (all from talented etsy kids) will have to tide me over.

nails did

crave this nail job.  so pretty and girly.  you know, i should do my nails more.  despite the fact that it's annoyingly time consuming and i usually ruin them doing some sort of craft, it's nice to look down and see something sparklely every now and then.  plus, the time spent waiting for them to dry would be a great excuse to pick up a book or magazine and relax.
