Saddle Shoes!

Check out my new shoes!!

I started wanting a pair when I saw this tutorial that Elsie mentioned on her blog. So I went to buy some plain white shoes to make them myself with black paint, and they had saddle shoes there! What a find! I was so happy.

Tonight I am getting Indian food, going to Road Runner and hopefully a Halloween store. I am going to be Daphne from Scooby Doo at work, so I need some white knee high boots. Still haven't decided for sure what to be on Halloween night, but right now I'm leaning toward Bettie Page. I have bangs and dark hair so it makes sense to me!

Happy Friday :)

Yesterday . . .

I had a little extra time so I made this to put in Karim's briefcase next time he comes over :)

Hi there :)

Love love love this ring from Etsy. And love that it's called guacamole ring :)


Just bought this Tarina Tarantino bracelet. I can't wait to get it in the mail!


Also, here is a wonderful picture of Karim and I dancing at Abby's wedding. I love it! It was taken by Deb Lindsey.

Happy Wednesday!!

Happy World Vegetarian Day :)

"Every animal with legs deserves to run. Every animal with fins deserves to swim. Every animal with wings deserves to fly."

I can't remember where I first saw this quote, but I really like it.
Today is World Vegetarian Day and the start of Vegetarian Awareness Month!

I took this picture a few years ago at the Maryland State Fair. The pigs were so sweet and loved to be touched. They would wag their tails when someone pet them. I want a pet pig so so bad :)

Happy Hump Day!

Earlier this week I FINALLY ordered a Fuji Instax Mini in chocolate!! I have been wanting one for over a month now, but kept debating because of the price. I was originally going to order from Urban Outfitters, but they only had the white one. I found the brown one for an even cheaper price elsewhere and the film was cheaper too! I'm so happy I was able to find the chocolate colored one! It isn't supposed to ship for 1-3 weeks, but I'm already so excited to get it!
I've even started looking for a new cute pouch to keep it in. I'm thinking something similar to this.
A few weeks ago I ordered these two pouches for my lip gloss from the same Etsy Shop (The Dainty Squid) and was very pleased with them.

And on an unrelated note (other than it involves me spending money when I shouldn't be, but that's always a theme!) Tarina Tarantino has been my favorite jewelry designer since about 2000. I just can't get enough of her sparkly styles.
Right now I'm eyeing up the City Girl LA Mod Ring in silver. This is part of a new collection where Tarina is going to be designing pieces based on her favorite cities from around the world. LA is where she lives and where her jewelry is made (she calls it the Sparkle Factory), so that was the first city she chose. The woman reminds me of Kat Von D. I don't really watch her show regularly, but she seems awesome from what I've seen.
PS I upgraded my Etsy shop to a seller account!! I'm so excited! I have some handmade cards and hair flowers that I want to list soon. I just need to get some pictures of the hair flowers actually in my hair (makes sense right?!). More on that soon :)
