June Wishlist

School is finally over for me and now I have time to shop online all the time! Yaaaaaay!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11

Even though I have pretty much no money at the moment, I'm loving all of this newly found free time to torture myself with a bunch of pretty things I can't afford. If only I could make money off of sleeping... ;-)

Friday Favorites #5

Food / / These tiramisu brownies? Tiramisu + brownies = enough said ;-)

DIY / /  I've been seeing a ton of giant doily rugs, but this one by Ladies & Gentlemen Studio is the cutest I've seen! My summer project will to be to learn crochet!

Nerdism / / How absolutely-mega-perf is this swimsuit bottom?  I'm actually considering getting it...

Etsy / / This...is absolutely perfect. If only I had somewhere to wear it. And $1,425.00 to spend on it.

Style / / I love the dress and the length of socks and the lighting and everything!

Ravelry / / This cardigan  is dreamy! I want to knit something similar, but shaped more like a cape. By the time I would finish it, it'd probably be cold again! 

I hope everyone's weekend is nothing short of awesome!

My April/Birthday Wishlist!

Happy almost birthday to me!

1. Gold Tone Teapot & Teacup Charm Necklace * 2. Goldfish Umbrella * 3. Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker * 4. Cone Heel Pump * 5. Macaron Coin Purse * 6. Apple Wristlet * 7. Kit Kat Clock * 8. I <3 Macarons * 9. Benefit They're Real Mascara * 10. Side Bay Side Dress

For most of these things, I know I'm never going to get them, but I like to dream. My mom said no to ice cream makers, because "we don't have enough space." Pshhh. And no more cooking books, because I "have too many." She's crampin' my style. They only thing between me and 10 cats is my mom. But she's great!

I feel like I'm getting old... I'm turning middle-middle aged (quarter aged?) and I will no longer be a child :'(

Happy (mid) April!

Friday Favorites #4

After having a test in every class (and doing terribly on some), I'm soooo ready for this week to be over. Here is some cuteness that got me though it!

Food / / Dulce Delight's cake is the cutest thing ever. So cute, in fact, that I don't just want to eat it up.

DIY / / I'm pretty much guaranteed to love anything with poms poms. I found this DIY on craftgawker and thought it was gorgeous! I might make it into a collar or something, though...

Nerdism / / This Pi Day Pie is a beautiful thing. I can appreciate anything that is both math AND food related! I'm super duper sad that I couldn't bake anything this year because lately, I've had like no time at all to do anything fun...

Etsy / /  This is totally the bathing suit of my dreams. Although I wouldn't feel justified in spending $98 on a bathing suit...

Style / / I love this outfit because: a) There are cats on that dress, b) it makes me think of spring, c) the bag is Kate Spade, and d) I totally have those shoes in black (but now I want the ivory ones!).

I think I'm gonna knit, bake and sleep this weekend away. I hope everyone's is awesome as mine is going to be!

Friday Favorites #3

Finally Friday! Here's a bunch of stuff I've fallen in love with this week:

Food / / I was on my best friend's StumbleUpon (super addicting site for those of you who have never used it) and I found Seasaltwithfood's Hasselback Potatoes recipe. Cool looking but tasty, too!

DIY / / the purl bee continuously makes the cutest tutorials on the planet. I saw this one on craftgawker and was automatically excited because I love chevron afghans... But I can't crochet at all.

Nerdism / / Chemistry has always been one of my favorite things. I would LOVE to make a dress out of this fabric!

Etsy / / How gorgeous is this vintage dress? I'm not ready to spend $228, though, so it may inspire another dressmaking project. ;-)

Style / / If I was going to trade closets with someone, it would probably be Annika.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!

Friday Favorites #2

Happy Friday! Here's a cluster of all things cute:

Food / / Whole Food Market's Classic Butternut Squash Soup looks to die for! There's been a cold front in my neck of the woods, so all I want to do is eat warm soup with some homemade bread (whilst in my Snuggie :-) )

DIY / / I love knitting and owls, so the purl bee's Big Snowy Owl tutorial is right up my alley. Double-pointed needles look intimidating, though.

Nerdism / / How cool are these mitosis donuts? I wish they could do that in real life! Or undergo meiosis so you can make donut gametes and hope for co-dominance so that you could have strawberry jelly/Boston cream donuts or a powdered crueller... The possibilities are endless.

Etsy / / Bows on front + heart cutout on back + another bow = perfect dress.

Style / / I've always loved Mayo Wo's adorable style, but... I want to marry her cat purse.

Hope everyone has a lovely day!

Tuesday Shoesday: ModCloth

Hi everyone!
Ever since my New Year's Resolution to shop less, I feel like knowing that I can't do something makes me want to do it even more. So, when I'm not studying, I'm looking at one of my favorite things in the world:

(Ew... I wish ISO ≠ noise...)
And that's not even half of my ever-growing shoe collection... Excluding sandals and boots, of course. Boots are an entirely different story for me.

Shoes.

ModCloth has always been one of those sites where I browse, see a bunch of adorable things, and then sigh to myself, thinking, "Maybe someday."

But since I can't buy stuff, they got that much more adorable.

Lately I've really been liking heels because I've always had big dreams of being tall one day, but just finally accepted the fact that I'm done growing (I'm only 5' 3"... *sigh*). Also, I'm almost guaranteed to like anything with a T-Bar. These are so cute.

(source)

Even though these shoes look like they'd be hard to wear, I'm sure if they were mine I'd wear them everyday until they either wore out or I got massive blisters.

(source)

I really want a pair of cutout oxfords. Jeffrey Campbell makes the prettiest shoes in the history of pretty shoes. I wish I could meet him and ask how he comes up with these wonderful designs.

(source)

I saw these on Keiko Lynn. If she wears something, I automatically want it.

I also will probably like anything with bows.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week :-)

Friday Favorites #1

Food // Chocolate chip scones...with fewer calories! Can't wait to try SkinnyTaste's recipe!

DIY // Recklessglue's knitted collar tutorial looks doable and adorable!

Blog // Gertie makes me wish I was as awesome as she is. She sews neat things AND she has pink hair!

Etsy // Two things I love: food and dresses! Dress by CaitlinShearer

Style// I always envy how cute Steffy always looks!

I'm so excited for the weekend to finally be here! I told myself that if I finish studying for finals, then I can spend the rest of my time sewing! Hopefully I can (finally!) finish my current dress...

I hope everyone else's weekend is nice, as well! :-)

Cats cats cats cats.

If something has cats on it, chances are 1) I have it, 2) I love it, or 3) I want need it.

 

1. ASOS Cat Ears Watch 2. Cat Eyeglasses Sweater 3. Embroidered Kitty Flats Mary Janes 4. Cat Ring 5. Puppies and Kittens Kitty Faces Cream Fabric 6. Classic Black Kit Cat Wall Clock 7. Jeffrey Campbell Cat Tapestry Lita Boot

 

 I love cats so much that anything with cats on it automatically makes me smile... I bought these cute cat-printed shorts from Forever 21, and even though it was below freezing most of the day, I wore them. I looked confused about the climate, but how could I not wear them?!

 

I seriously want everything with cats on it. Really. But the Jeffrey Campbells are my "dream shoes" because I know I'd never be able to afford them, haha. And I think I might buy the cat fabric so I can make a cat dress! :-D

My November Wishlist

 

 

1. Girls Got Plaid-itude Dress: These colors make me think of Thanksgiving!

2. Popcorn So Soft Thigh Hi: I've been obsessed with tall socks lately. I love this color!

3. ASOS SUNDAY Heels with T-Bar: T-bars + fringe = love!

4. Sherwood Ring: I've been wanting an arrow ring for a while now...

5. ASOS Cat Ears Watch: It's practical, and adorable, too!

What have you got your eye on? :-)

The Ever-Growing Wishlist: August

Sometimes when I shop online, I realize that I want everything!

1. Sherwood Ring from Anthropologie: I've always wanted an arrow ring, but could never find a silver one. The small, dainty details are just so lovely!

2. Mary Jane Pump Canvas Shoe from American Apparel: I've always loved Mary Janes, but the heels on these are so sweet and vintage-y. And the color is super cute!

3. Lace Shorts from Ebay: These shorts are everywhere! I think these are versatile enough to wear in all seasons. The lace is so adorable and the white one makes me think of cake :o)

4. Heart Cutout Back Dress from Urban Outfitters: I've been looking at heart cutout dresses for a while now. I kind of want to see if I can make my own!

5. Minnetonka Tramper Ankle Hi Boot from ShoeBuy: I absolutely looove Minnetonkas! They're so comfy and cute! I want some short ones, but then again I also like these.

6. Frenchi Open Knit Cardigan from Nordstrom: I saw this in the store and fell in love! I especially like the brownish-orange one!

7. Motif Sweater from H&M: I love sweaters, especially ones with cute things on them! This one is such a cute, bright blue and I love the cat/fox critter on the front!

8. Skater Skirt in Horse Print from ASOS: I love any flow-y skirt along with anything printed with cute animals. This skirt is afforable, too!

9. Women's Neck Tie from flappergirl on Etsy: I've always wanted a girl-tie because I didn't know if I'd look too weird with a bow tie. I think I might try to make one soon!

10. Polkadot Pullover from a-thread.com: I really want a polkadot pullover to wear on top of my chambray top. This one looks so cute with the scallop shorts (also on my list!)

I think I might have a shopping problem, but then again, maybe I just really, really like clothes ;-) I hope everyone is having a good week!
