Friday Finds v.5

 

Nathan Ripperger

This father illustrates weird things he's said to his children. I could hardly pick a favorite, so you should go look at them all. It's a hoot :)

 

Peggy Skemp Jewelry

I need this locket in my life. It opens up to show all of the valves and arteries of an atomically correct heart. So cool.

Youtube

As you may or may not know, I was in Choir all four years of high school, so I am a sucker for cool acapella arrangements of songs. Here is a Dutch choir singing an acapella version of Bangarang by Skrillex. Seriously, awesome.

 

Philippa Rice

I love these comics by Philippa Rice, they are so freakin cute! This series is called 'Soppy,' it's my favorite.

Mai Ly Illustration

How cute is this match-box self portrait? The matches as legs- so adorable!

I don't know about you, but I am so thankful that it's Friday! Have a lovely day :)

Friday Finds v.3

Omerica Organic

These plugs are BADASS. I can't wait until I size up to around 0, because that's where most of the plugs on this site start their sizing. These are limited edition, too, so if you are interested in these, snatch them up quick!

Tumblr

I am so ready for summer. I plan on wearing something like this all day, every day this summer. You've been warned :)

Modcloth

And on days when I'm not wearing the above swimsuit, I will most likely be wearing a dress like this.

Justina Blakeney

Something I need to remember. I am the worst about getting into a funk because my day started out bad, and for the rest of the day I just say "well, this is great, shittiest day ever." Might print this out as a reminder :)

Happy Friday! Skylar and I are celebrating valentines day a little late, since I had to work all day on actual valentines day. Outfit photos coming this weekend!

Friday Finds v.2...Valentines Edition!

 

Modcloth

How adorable would this dress be for a valentines day date? SO adorable, that's what.

The Freckled Fox

Aaaand if I had long hair, this is how I would wear it with the above dress! Times like this are the only times I miss having long hair :/

 

Kurryleaves

If I was good at baking, I would totally make these for everyone I knew. I would have to make at least two batches because I would eat at least half of them :)

College Prep

I think this would be such a cute idea for a valentines day gift. I won't be doing this for Skylar since he reads this and then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, haha. I'll just have to think of something better!

Etsy

Consider is the key word here. But it's the thought that counts, right?

Friday Finds v.1

Welcome to my first edition of Friday Finds! I love finding cute stuff all over the internet, so I am excited to start to share them weekly! Enjoy :)

Modcloth

I'm not a huge watch person, but this is so freakin awesome! I could totally see myself wearing this.

Country Living

How adorable is this DIY project? Since I've had tattoos on the brain, this is so awesome to me. Plus, it's perfect for winter!

Raspberri Cupcakes

Doughnut. Macaroons. YES. I've never actually had macaroons but these look sooo delicious! I can't handle it!

Tumblr (can't find original source!)

I can't explain how much I love grumpy cat! So obviously, I need this mug. That is all.
Have a happy weekend!

Pintrest Finds

Ain't this the cutest? Replace 'tea' with 'coffee' and it will be perfect!

I would apologize for the length of this photo, but it's just too freakin cool not to share! Black and white photos are so powerful, but with the color added it gives it such more life to the photo, like you can actually picture it happening in real life. So cool!

I can't describe how much I LOVE this tattoo. I've been jonesin' to get a tattoo lately and I would NOT be against having this on my arm or thigh.

This vintage '50s dress is SO CUTE. It's already been sold from it's etsy shop, but that's probably a good thing so I don't waste my grocery money, haha.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I am all moved back into my apartment now, which is soo nice. I loved staying at home for the last few weeks for sure, but I'm excited to be able to sleep in my big bed and be reunited with all my craft supplies again :)

Pintrest Faves

Sorry for the unintentional hiatus. I know I say that all the time, and its annoying when bloggers apologize for not posting. I've just been enjoying winter break and being home and having no responsibilities :)

Anywho, it's no secret that I'm basically obsessed with pintrest. When I'm bored at school, at the store, in the car, I usually pull it up on my phone (I know Skylar thinks its so annoying, I just can't help it!) So here's some things I've found recently that I have enjoyed.

Okay, so I'm aware these are more Easter-y than Christmas-y, but OH MY GOD LOOK HOW CUTE THESE EGG CRAFTS ARE! And it's insane how intricate they are. I am dying over the little sailor!

LAWLZ Psychology memes. I am aware I am a nerd, no need to bring it to my attention.

We just got our first snow of the year over here, so exciting! It wasn't as much as they were predicting, but it's always nice to see that first snow on the ground, now it finally feels like Christmas! I love the graininess of this photo, it looks like childhood snow days.

How adorable are these wedges? I would love to wear them with some dark jeans and a sweater!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I'll be back to posting regularly hopefully soon!

Summer Pinspirations

I'm in need of some simplicity this summer. It's been kind of hard lately, I've fallen back into boughts of anxiousness, and if any of you have dealt with general anxiety, you know how trapped you can feel. I've been trying to find ways to relax and make myself excited for the future; and of course that means the next few months of summer!

And of course, along with the masses, what better way to think up summer plans than by wasting hours on pintrest? I'm compiling a list of things I want to do/accomplish over the summer, with the help of pintrest.

1. Have a picnic

 

Fist of all, isn't this picture gorgeous?  I found a big picnic basket in the basement of my home, so I brought it back to my apartment in hopes that I would use it. Wouldn't a picnic date be so cute? (Pintrest removed the source of this picture, sorry!)

2. Invest in a cute bike 

Okay, so the lock on my old bike broke (the bike of which I have had since I was 11, maybe earlier), so living on a college campus, it didn't take long for someone to steal it. So now I am left without a bike, sadly. I rode my bike all over campus, and more importantly, to work, and it was so much faster and more convenient than walking. At least now I can look for a much cuter bike, with a basket! I love bikes with baskets, they are so cute. (Source)

3. Make my apartment a home

I'm all moved into my new apartment, but it still doesn't feel like my new home yet. And these two pictures are perfect; I love the second one. The kitchen definitely needs a makeover, and the pops of color against the white cabinets is perfect! (Source & Source)

4. Start doing Yoga

I've wanted to try yoga for years. I did a bit of it for a research study I participated in last semester for my psychology class (the study was stress reduction techniques) and I loved it. The recreation center doesn't have any classes going on during the summer, so it's up to me to actually do it. And hopefully this is the summer that I will actually try it! (Source)

5. Enjoy every moment

This is probably the hardest one on the list, although it is the most simple. None of what I want to accomplish will mean a damn thing unless I have the right mindset. And that's hard. Especially feeling anxious all the time, it's hard to really enjoy things, even if you know you should enjoy it. This is the number one thing I am going to work on.(Source)

Wish me luck!
