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!

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!

8 Weekend Obsessions

I feel that I've been becoming surrounded by more and more lovely things each day, so here are a few of my current loves:

1. This collar: I've been wanting a detachable collar lately to spice up my plain dresses, but I've come to the conclusion that this is the PERFECT one ;-)

2. These cute arrow rings by MijuAndYou: These are just too cute. I want the green all of them!

 3. Vintage White Braided Sandals from pussycatvintage: I saw a pair really similar to these at the thrift store and sorely regret passing them up. I needed these when I wore my daisy pants :-(

4. This adorable lantern tutorial: It's so simple and cute! I absolutely have to do this next time I go to IKEA to get the lanterns. Martha Stewart, you're so lovely :-)

5. Classic Pecan Pie recipe: I made two of these for Father's Day. SO good with vanilla ice cream!

6. Chevron Afghans: I really want to learn to crochet these! I saw one at the thrift store and thought about buying it to satisfy my afghan-yearning for a while, but I couldn't imagine getting comfy with a blanket from who-knows-where.

7. Fig Newtons: This isn't really a discovery for a lot of other people, but my new favorite snack is Fig Newtons :-) I don't really remember ever being a fan, but somebody brought some into school and I became a fan of figs ;-)

8. Castaway on the Moon This is seriously one of the best movies I've seen in a while. It made me laugh and the storyline was adorable. Plus, my sister said the girl made her think of me because she was quiet, took tons of pictures and raised plants :-)

What are some of your current obsessions and favorites?
