Momochas

Momochas is an Etsy shop that I've admired for a while now. All of her jewelry is handmade using polymer clay, and after looking at a few pieces it's hard to believe because the jewelry is so intricate and professional looking! Here are a few of my favorite pieces :)

Soft Floral silver Plated Necklace

Magenta Adjustable Ring

Chocolate and Lace Earrings

Slices of Nature Ring

I love all of the different color combinations she uses. There is something for every season!

Alice!!

So I saw Alice in Wonderland in IMAX 3D over the weekend. It was amazing. I definitely recommend going for the 3D. The images were stunning. I can't decide if my favorite character was the red queen or the white queen. The red queen was such a great villain, but the white queen was all about non-violence and being kind, so I loved her too. I also loved the white rabbit, mad hatter and blood hound. Clearly I have trouble choosing favorites!

The red queen side of me wants this ring

and the white queen side of me wants this one!It's another rainy Monday here. After an entire weekend of rain I'm ready for sunshine, but it's not snow and it's above 40 degrees so no complaints here!!

Newest Etsy Favorites

Clearly I spend a lot of time on Etsy. But in my opinion it pays off because I find so many awesome sellers!! Here are my favorite shops right now :)

One~

I came across the shop Penny Dog Accessories after reading an article about the shop on Etsy's blog called The Storque. The shop was started as a way to raise money to donate to a greyhound rescue after the owner adopted a greyhound herself and wanted to pay back the money the rescue spent on her dog. Her jewelry is so cute and what a great cause!

Pink Grapefruit resin ring, size medium UK O, US 7

Liquorice Allsorts stud post earrings

Two~

Avocado necklace in silver and concrete

Anatomical heart necklace in silver and concrete

Both necklaces are from the shop Lulu Bug Jewelry, which has been a favorite of mine for a while now. Her jewelry is so unique! Plus she is a member of the Etsy Veg Team, which gives extra points in my book :)

Three~

I came across HumbleBea's shop recently and love everything in the shop! All of the little knick knacks are so adorable.

Wee Bird On A Spool (how perfect for a sewing table!)

Mellow Yellow Rose Ring

Love Birds Cake Topper (sold) Sadly this is sold, but this is the first item I saw from the shop and I loved it immediately! She sculpts those little birds herself!

Adorable, right?!

I'm excited for the weekend to start. Tomorrow I'm going to see the new Alice in Wonderland at IMAX!! I've heard good things so I'm excited. Happy Friday :)

Floral on the brain

I can't seem to get enough of floral designs right now. Anything reminiscent of Stepford Wives and I'm all about it. These are a few of my favorites.

Betty Rose Large Satchel

Maggy London Print Stretch Cotton Dress

Eliza J Printed Floral Dress

Maybe it's the warmer weather we've been having. It's supposed to rain today through the whole weekend but no complaints from me because it could be snow!

I'm off to search Etsy for some more awesome floral print dresses! Have a great weekend :)

Obsession? Maybe

My latest one. Clearly this is incredibly far out of my price range. But . . . what are tax returns for, right? They're for spending erratically now and then having no money all summer, right?!

Harajuku Lovers Jewelry!

I'm so excited that Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers jewelry is finally available! I'll admit some of it looks a little on the cheap side, but for the price I still think it's adorable. My favorite is the Love ring.

I also really like the G ring, Baby stud earrings and G girl mirror necklace.

So cute :)

Monday Already?!

I guess time flies when you're having fun! I had a really good weekend. The weather was warmer than it's been all year, so that helped a lot!

Friday night was dinner with Karim, Jackie and Scott at the amazing Golden West Cafe. Clearly the best part of the food was the vegan carrot cake with lavender cream cheese frosting. That's right, lavender. Who would have guessed it would be delicious? It was!!

Saturday I went to a class about gardening with Abby. She wants to have a vegetable garden this year! There were some good tips for sure. Fortunately for me, my parents always grow way more than they can eat, so I get awesome fresh vegetables all summer long!

Afterwards I stopped by the mall to try to find a dress for the second wedding I have this Spring. No luck there, but I did go to Sephora and pick up these Tarina Tarantino beauty goodies!!

Hyper Dream Eye Shadow in Rivet

Gem Gloss in Pom Pom

And (of course) the Multibead Stretch Bracelet in clear

Then Saturday night Karim and I went Cosmic Bowling with my roommates and a few of their friends. We got home around 1:30am, after Karim and I (the voluntary DD's) drove the drunkies for a pit stop at Royal Farms for breakfast sandwiches. Apparently I'm old now, because going to bed after 2 made me feel like a party animal, although the reason I was up so late was bowling!

Yesterday I went for a volunteer orientation at the MDSPCA. It seemed really great, and the volunteer manager was so nice, educated and helpful. I'm looking forward to it! PS the dog pictured is Raven, I got her picture from the MDSPCA website! I want to walk and play with dogs, but I also want to help out with taking pictures of the dogs available for adoption. I love taking pictures of Lily and think it would be a fun job!

Oh yeah, and I purposely got to Hampden early so I could sneak over to Double Dutch Boutique. I love it more and more every time I visit! Here are the goodies I walked away with!

These necklaces and hair pins by Loungefly.

And this amazing whistle necklace by the company Falling Whistles. All of the profits go to help children in war stricken Congo. More information can be found on their website!

It's going to be sunny and in the high 50's here today! I'm stuck at work (and without a car since I had to take my Camry in for the recall today, boo!) but I'm going to make the most of it! I'll be going for a walk at lunch for sure! Have a great week :)
