What I Wore // 80's Wallpaper Skirt

For some reason when I was in the thrift store a long while ago, I picked up this skirt that looked like it belonged on the walls of a hotel in the 80's or in the bathroom of one of those rental houses by the ocean.  But I fell in love.  It is a nice flowy fabric with a long slit up the side making it perfect for the Summer heat.

It's been like 8000 degrees here in VA this week & I want to run away! Gah, so hot! But then I think about how I am moving north where they will be snow until April.  I don't know about the trade off.  I am tentativly thinking that the end of July will be when I move but I am not 100% sure.  Zach would have me move tomorrow if he could!

The thing I'm not looking forward to is packing.  Sheesh, I hate packing!  I also need to work on getting a quote for a POD.  I also need the money fairy to visit me & drop a giant sum of money equal to the amount of moving right in to my lap.  I guess it would be like the tooth fairy, huh?

This week wasn't much.  I had work (of course) & spent time on some blog designs.  I also scheduled a whole load of posts for July & I am so excited! I know that July is going to be a crazy month so I am getting everything planned out now.

Details:

Cardigan // TJ Maxx ages ago

Belt // Target

Shirt // Forever21

Skirt // Thrifted

Boots // JC Penny ages ago

If any one wants to come help me pack I'd love it! I really want to just shove everything into a POD & send it away!

Happy Weekend!

Fan Friday #63

I am so happy it's Friday.  I can't wait for the weekend...I really want to sleep! I love sleep so much which is something that really gets in the way sometimes with my go-get-em attitude.  You can't get things done if you wanna nap all the time! I've been better since Zach's been gone.  Any time he'd offer up taking a nap, I'd be all over it.  There were many Saturdays when all we would do is spend it in bed & while that was lovely, nothing got done.

This Friday will probably pass by slowly as it's the last day of break for the students at work & I am just finishing up bits & pieces of things.  Here's what I've been loving though:

This Anthro knock off bowl painted with nail polish.  Are you kidding me? Small Good Things is a sweet little blog with awesome stuff.  I really want to try this out! I wonder where I could put this when we get a new place?

Bonus: Small Good Things plastic animal ring holder DIY.  ARE YOU KIDDING! If it's got something to do with DIY, neon, animals, & gold...I am all over it.  Sheesh this is awesome.

Not only is this picture gorgeous...but man I want grapefruit margaritas.  Heck I want grapefruit everything! I think you could totally adapt this for grapefruit lemonade..in fact I think I have an idea brewing in my head.  Maybe a trip to the store this afternoon is in order!

The view from Felicia's laundry room is like a painting.  I hope that we have a lovely view when we move.

A yummy custard recipe from Jen at Motu Viget.  My mom loves custard but I'm not a fan.  Still, how yummy does that picture look?  She's also going to destroy some disposable cameras like I did last weekend.  Next week I am going to share what I did to mine but on Sunday you'll get to see some lovely photos!

Links Loved

++ Kristin over at Tales from the Nook did an amazing redesign of her blog.  This chick is a go get-em & I love it.  She just moved & has a Zombie Treadmill if your interested.++

++This link for building a better press kit.  I just finished mine about a week ago & already I need to add something else to it.++

++My little-brother-from-another-mother reminded me he was on instagram the other day by commenting on this photo I shared.  He's the Padawan in JK Photography.  If you're interested in a pretty sweet nature photographer, check out his stuff on instagram. @shadowfaz_sf is the username.++

Well I hope you've had a pleasant week & that you have a great summer weekend! Don't sweat to death!

New Pottery Listed!

When I got home from work this afternoon, before turning ont Dr. Who reruns (oh how I love the Doctor) I took some shots of my new pottery & I am in love!

I have days where I love the attempt I am making & days where I don't know why I am even attempting this.  Well, today I am happy.

I've listed all bowls perfect for serving things, sharing dip with party guests, 

& storing your rings at the end of the day.
