October 5, 2011

{photo} … fall. Today was the first day that really felt like fall to me. As I rolled my bike out of our apartment laundry room it crunched through a pile of leaves. It was light outside, but cold and misty. I love fall. I love the weather and the thoughts of crafting at home […]

{Update} Wicker

June 29, 2011

The paint phase has been completed. Since being painted and prominently displayed in our shared garden the wicker has been getting a lot of use.

{30 for 30} What I’ve Been Wearing

June 28, 2011

Since my last run at 30 for 30 I have found myself in true appreciation of the clearance rack. I have also purchased a couple pairs of shoes that are more practical and comfortable thanks to some advise from my brilliant cuz. The truth is I only really wear shoes when they are comfortable, so […]

30 for 30 Begins Again!

June 13, 2011

{source} So there is a little thing that a lovely lady started called 30 for 30. It is pretty simple really. You pick out 30 items from your wardrobe and wear just those 30 items for 30 days. The last time I did this I learned a lot about my personal style and how to […]
