orange you excited?

orange is usually one of my least favorite colors, especially in clothing. maybe it's because i can't pull it off very well? ones thing's for sure, if i could wear the color well i would snatch up this dress from treschicvintage in a heartbeat. I love the styling in this photo.. just look at those shoes!

Lace Hardware

after a busy week of blog fun and work fun, i was able to make something new. i'm falling for antiqued finishes on brass and copper these days.

all things pink

currently loving... first photo by tamelyn second photo by K's Angel-a found on flickr.

do you love pandas?

another sweet find on etsy is shiroshiro. Her shop is almost 100% filled with little panda products! I especially love this little panda pad. Trying saying that 10 times in a row!

(panda pad, panda pad, panda pad, panda pad, apdapdfasdfpoaisdjf padfapadnaa pad.. ack!)

not so smooth

sometimes i get over excited and ruin surprises! i'm not usually the biggest fan of valentines day, but i've found so many sweet non-mass produced cards that i haven't been able to help myself this year. i bought this card from mpatrizio and when it arrived in the mail i was so excited i opened it right away...... in front of my boyfriend.... and showed it to him. so smooth!

well, i have since purchased some new cards which will stay in the vault until given.

patterns

so have you noticed i love dresses? i came across these new favorites on mytheresa and just had to share them with you! i can't wait for warmer weather and summer parties!

little black dress

i love dresses and i love black. i was browsing some of my favorites on talentdatabase, and was floored when i saw this dress from Julianna Bass. Check out her site and daydream about wearing these dresses too.

sweet surprises

sometimes when i'm walking to my car after work, i'll see a rabbit hiding in the bushes on the side of the parking lot. it feels special everytime, as if i'm the only one this beautiful little creature comes out for... like in disney movies when all the forest animals crowd around a princess. when i found this magenta bunny by rivulettecraft on etsy, it reminded me of my sweet parking lot surprise.

sticks and stones

i am so in love with this necklace from meeellla. Her jewelry pieces are truly works of art and are so complex and intricate. I may have to splurge and get one of these for myself.

clouds and masks

i've been a long time fan of webcomics - i've definitely had some rough work days that were made better by a quick chuckle from one of my personal faves, dinosaur comics. kier mcfarlane's series, wiki's lessons in life is so dreamy and beautiful, her illustrations will have you feel like you're floating.

happy family

when i first saw snaulkter's shop, my heart softened just a little bit. she has a beautiful line of seahorse famiy dolls for children all made from repurposed materials. take some time to let your heart smile too.

hot pink baby hat

i really need one of my friends to have a baby so i can buy cute things for them. i mean seriously, this is the cutest, funniest most original little hat i've seen for a baby! babyrocksmohawks has a variety of baby hats, including bears, bunnies, little devils, and one of my personal faves, cupcakes!

so stunning

my jaw dropped when i saw this amazing dress by leanimal on etsy and i was almost tempted to skip paying some of my bills and buy it....

well, until i realized that 1) maybe that wasn't very practical and 2) i don't really have an occasion to wear this.

such a beautiful design and beautiful photos, just had to share

introduction

i come across a lot of amazing things in my 'internet life' and sometimes i find things that i wish i could share with more people. this is my little experiment, a series of things i love and things i make, sometimes together and sometimes not.

thanks for visiting.
