Modern & Edgy (for me)



I'm in LOVE with this seller homako.etsy.com on etsy. She makes wonderful, modern felt & fabric, wood jewelry. I ordered this black wooden triangle necklace and I am so thrilled. Wonderful attention to detail and beautiful craftsmanship. The packaging was really cute too!! So I paired my new necklace with a thrifted yummy sand color top that I paid maybe $1.99 for. I really like this outfit. I feel modern and edgy with the simple color palette and the edgy accessories. I'm loving my zip ankle crops from Fashion bug and I think it helps add to the modern feel of this outfit.  It's super comfortable and a fashion inspiration taken from fashionHayley.com. Check out her blog if you get a chance. I have admired how she adds bold accessories to a neutral color palette for some time and wanted to try it myself.

Favorite find--etsy shop!



My Daughters birthday is coming up and I know how much she loves the facebook heart or International heart symbol. I was searching for a ring that I saw on another blog that was similar but much, much cheaper when I stumbled across this fabulous shop called smilingsilversmith.etsy.com Check out these cute pieces. I think I will get my daughter the heart ring it's so stinking cute! I love the piggy bank&coin necklace for me...







I've been missing in action while trying to get school shopping done x 4! Be back soon....

Toucan sundress...


This is a fantastic handmade Toucan sundress that I thrifted. It ended up costing .50cents! can you believe it? Such a wonderful weight cotton with really wide straps (you can't see because of my cardi) but the straps are wide enough to cover a bra strap but no bra is needed because this dress is structured so well that no bra is required. I love to find handmade items at thrift stores. Whoever made this was a talented seamstress. I love the all over tropical bird print too. The color and quality makes this piece an A+++ in my book.
