Just a couple of kittens out on the town

Happy Halloween!! This year I'm going as Angela Martin from The Office! I love putting together costumes from things I already have... the only thing I needed to buy was the wig. I already had the clothes and the ream of Dunder Mifflin paper (you can get it here) and the Dwight bobble head in the background ;)oh,...

mint kitty (and some scary movie suggestions!)

I hope everyone on the east coast is doing okay this week! I'm typing this up and scheduling it now (Monday night) since our power has been browning out and I'm sure we're going to lose it pretty soon. I'm actually surprised it's held up this long, since it's been rainy and SUPER windy for almost 24 hours now....

pumpkin pie

I lost this sweater last winter and was SO excited when I found it again a couple weeks ago. It's seriously the coziest sweater on the planet! A soft, nutmeg-colored, over-sized blanket of warmth and comfort. I couldn't help but pair it with this pretty orange polka-dotted frock and my favorite platform loafers....

Taking decent product photos with no fancy equipment whatsoever

As a shop owner, I often have to take photos of my products to list online. I like to do this without any fancy equipment whatsoever -- I don't even have a camera. Seriously. I thought I'd share how I do it, in case anyone else is interested, or intimidated by suggestions that say you need super expensive...

pastel bows

It's so nice to finally be able to wear sweet and lovely items in outfit posts now that my store is open :) I've been wearing these particular sweater clips a lot.. I think they're such a simple way to add just the right touch of sweetness to an outfit. And since they have pin-backs you can actually clip them...

out of the ordinary

Thank you so much for all of the sweet comments yesterday, and to anyone who placed an order from my new shop! I appreciate it so much!! :DI've been doing the shorts-and-tights thing a lot lately.

awkward call for sponsors..

First, how cute is this guy? It's been way too long since I shared any cat photos here, I think. I've gotten so many amazing ones lately too! They've all been looking directly into the camera for me... I feel like I won the lottery or something! A picture-heavy post will definitely be coming soon lol ;)And now...

disney wishlist

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 I'm leaving for Disney World in less than one month (eep!) so I think it's about time I start sorting out what I'll be wearing! It's probably no surprise that my first inclination was to pack one dress for each day. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I really...

I'm finally feeling at least somewhat back to normal now :) yay! Man, what a rough two weeks though.

things

Still sick.Last Monday I went to a walk-in health center since my doctor was booked, and they gave me some medicine, did some tests and sent me home. I've just been getting worse ever since. Now I have this dry cough and tight chest that's so bad I gave up talking yesterday morning, partially because it made...

Meet Miss Subways

To pass the time while I'm stuck on the couch sick, I've been reading, watching a lot of movies, and having staring contests with Hypatia. I've also been mindlessly looking at things on the internet ... I may or may not have gone through all 80 pictures in a slideshow about Jennifer Aniston's hair.But sometimes...
