cursive jewelry...

i am absolutely in love with these necklaces. i always like the use of fiber in jewelry, and i am just totally smitten with these. i think that they are lovely and delicate, and would love to add one to my collection of necklaces.
found here.





little grey dress...

im not much of a dress wearer, but i would happily accept any of these dresses into my closet! i was looking thru the dresses on modcloth, and i really love all of the grey options. i have a few LBD's which are always good for almost any occasion, and now i'd love to add one of these grey ones.

i really love seeing where people get their inspiration from, i could spend hours looking through other peoples sketchbooks. i really love these collections, simple and beautiful.
found here via here.



live to love...

so i've been away for the last week (just got home from the cottage this afternoon!!) and came across this sweet apparel. i'm not usually one for graphic printed tees, or even writing on my clothes, but i really like their stuff. who doesn't wanna share a little love?

birds and tattoos...

i tend to keep pictures that i find if i like the look of them, and while trying to tidy up my computer today i found this theme. im not a huge bird fan, but i do appreciate them every once and a while, and i have been liking owls quite a bit lately and just added a really cute owl necklace to my collection. and i also like interesting tattoos. tho i don't have any, i do like the look of some of them, and i really think that the owl one is adorable!
