This Little Thing Called Pinterest.

Pinterest has to be one of the
greatest inventions, ever!
I often find myself thinking,
"man, today has been stressful,
I've got to go Pinterest some of it off"
Ha! Crazy girl.

Anywho, I decided to
bring a few of my favorite finds so far
this week, or 'must tries', for your viewing pleasure.


[1] this print sums up my mood perfectly right now.


[2] this hair tutorial is a must try for when summer nights + straightening
do not mix.


[3] honey-lime tilapia. 'nuff said.


[4] i may or may not gaze longingly into this picture.
have they not invented teleportation yet?




Follow me on Pinterest here!






Good Food, Good Pottery.

So I'm on the last leg of my
spring break trip (that was over a month ago)
-whew!
We stayed local, in Statesboro, where
there is my favorite sub shop, Larry's,
and then we decided to hit up a pottery shop
and it was a blasty-blast!




This may look like 'just a sammich' to y'all, but
no. I dream about Larry's, it's that ridiculous.








And that would be my plate :)

A wonderful day, followed by a (not so 3D)
showing of The Lorax.

And that would be spring break 2012!
I'll try to tone it down with the pictures next time......

Fuel for the Week.

I'll admit, since Thursday was my birthday, I
skipped class on Thursday (and requested off work for the week).
So this Monday I'm a little bitter!
Can we make this day a little better?


The Head and the Heart - Lost in my Mind





Handbags happen to be one of my weeknesses.
And FYI there is a handbags.com
So.....problem solved! Like this satchel,
that also comes in a variety of colors.


Large bags like the one first listed are nice, but
 I do find myself moving towards smaller options
these days. And this colorful wristlet from 
Ann Taylor seems perfect!


Los Poblanos is an organic farm/inn a few miles
from Albuquerque that has a multitude of goodies
such as soaps, lotions, and solves. Plus, the adorable packaging
was the first thing I bought.



The prints from Black Baroque fits my style perfectly.
All whimsy, color, and antique mixed into one fine print.


Have a lovely day!

Fuel for the Week.

Happy monday everyone.
I hope your easter holiday was a joyful one.
Over in my neck of the woods, it was a beautiful day out!



Friday night my mind was so incredibly blown
from the amazing show Delta Spirit put on.
Seriously, best live band in a longlonglong time, folks.




Robert Howsare has some of the most relaxing,
invigorating, and lively prints out there.
Just slap one on a t-shirt and call me sold.
Also, check out his ingenious video, drawing apparatus.




Over at LemKa's B side, you will find some
pretty nifty leather things such as hair pieces,
bracelets, necklaces and tassles.
So here's to wearing an old gray t-shirt but still
looking dang good.



This has to be one of the most adorable videos ever!
"Lost Things", directed by even cuter duo, Angela Kohler and
Ithyle Griffiths, the stop motion project is truly incredible when you
notice the detail and effort put in to it. Plus, when you get
A Fine Frenzy's, Alison Sudol to sing and pose
for you, well, I think they've got it made and therefore, we do too.


Have a wonderful week everyone!

Fuel for the Week.

Good Monday everyone!
Fuel for the Week is back!
(For now....)
I know you've waited patiently,
so let's just get down to it :)



 I love it when I can find a good lookbook to get
my fashion mind running,
and Shop Sosie does a pretty great job at that!



The rugs that come from Jonathan Adler
are pretty unique. And there is also a
neat little 'design your own' section too...



Brandon Chuesy has let out a zine line titled, "Can I Call You Back?"
It's a very organic and unique piece to have around that
can catch anyone's eye.
Each is hand painted and bound with it's own edition number.



I never thought I would get so excited over little
wooden boxes, but alas, My House of Dreams came along.
This etsy shop is full of whimsical and darling little boxes.
It makes me want to get a little box and hide away a secret =)

Fuel for the Week.


I wonder how many times I've been caught
 dancing in my car to "Baby Rain" by Brite Futures.
I mean, I really dig it y'all......




Amy Borrell has some of the most adorable drawings
out there. Certainly whimsey, spice and everything nice.



How hilarious (and accurate) are these series of posters
called  Dancing Plague of 1518 from
Niege Borges Alves?! Now, I'm off to get some
great moon boots to complete this process.





I am pretty much foaming at the mouth right now over
napkin somebody?


Have a great week everyone!

Us Wild and Crazy College Students.

I finally joined the crayon art club.
Thursday night, Erica and I went and did a dinner and a movie,
and decided to get some arts and crafts to do at home.



We lined up the crayons in the desired pattern and color scheme,
and them took a blow dryer to it....





Remember these? We got the stuff for friendship keychains too!


And poor Bizzy, see her cast? It doesn't keep her
from all the action though!



The possibilities are endless!
And then we ended the night by skyping with our third self, Courtney.


It was a great night! I am so lucky to have these girls in my life,
oh, and this post's title? Yeah, it was sarcasm.

Fuel for the Week.

This is the last week until school starts back.
Jeeze, I hope I make the most of it :)

This my friends is The Kingston Springs and I had the fabulous
honor of seeing them live last Saturday.
Lovelovelove them.


How darling are these shoes from ModCloth?
Oh and it does help that they're under 50 bucks too!



This piece from Karen Kraven is very interesting to me.
and I find myself wanting to stare at each card, thinking of it's
past owners, history, and meaning.
Who knows what interesting conversations have been held
 around them.
 
 



 
I don't think it takes much effort to see
that Maurie and Eve's Autumn 2012 collection is pretty stunning.
I just can't decide if I want to be the clothes or the model more.




Around this time of year when the winter chill
is really starting to set in, I am always drawn to thick wools
and earthy textures, in which the etsy shop,
Branch and Birdie definitely have covered.






Photographer Eleanor Harwick just took a
(from what I've seen) pretty incredible trip to India, in which you
can view her India Diary.

Have a good one everyone!
Mwahhhhhhhh.
