Today is going to be a particularly good day. I can feel it. The clouds are in perfect formation and the air has a distinct crispness to it, an aroma of distant rain. I love it.
This past week, however, was a sad week because I am broke. I paid my mortgage and other non-fun grown up things, and had no money left to spare. This is significant because I found SO many things I liked online…
{material.} These Steve Madden booties are crazy phenomenal. Why must I be recovering from ACL surgery in September, THE fashion month of the year?! Well, at least my knee is getting better! ^-^
PipStudio has got the cutest porcelain dishes, cups and saucers and other girlie things a girl would want. Proceed only if you want your house to look like an Adult Doll House! The site is in Dutch, but it is surprisingly understandable.
Also, to David’s HUGE dismay, I’ve found a new favorite online store: ShopPlasticLand.com. I follow Ava May Hemme’s blog and I am certain she’s the one who recommended it. I love nearly everything in the web shop, but the fact that they compile an archive of outfits to buy makes spending the big bucks much more easier.
For the proper lasses, this apron sums it up quite well.
{music.} DJ Chew Fu Phat has got to be my most favorite DJ. He hails from New York and I discovered him through Palms Out Sounds, which I discovered through Gala Darling. The Hype Machine is a music website that keeps track of his and other artists songs that are Blogged about, and does a great job of keeping me in the up-and-up with his new mixes. My favorite of the moment is The Jackson 5 ‘I Want You Back’ (Chew Fu Big Room Fix).
For Hip-Hop lovers, this site might make you, break you or just have you laughing. Hip-Hop isn’t my favorite genre…but I do love it. I am not sure how I came across Snacks n’ Shit, but it’s funny as hell.
{life.} Our birthday kickback was great! David’s birthday was August 26th and mine was the 27th. I turned 23 (!!!) and although we usually throw a big party for ourselves, this year was more turned down. Still had an obnoxious amount of alcohol, but instead of hors d’oeuvre’s, this time we served pizza and cake and played a lot of Guitar Hero. A big Thanks to my buddy Joser who brought me that awesome gift.
I had a Praying Mantis scare the living heck out of me the other day. They are actually very kind and calm creatures and we had a mini photo shoot from which ‘Twiggy’ gladly obliged.
I’m a bit on the restless side. I’ve been yearning to do some traveling, and was planning to spend the weekend in Taos, but somehow fate has managed to throw a wrench into those plans.
What was great about this week for you?
