A Little Bit of Housekeeping

So I'm thinking of including more content in my blog, because mainly I post outfits and gratuitous Katy Perry pictures. I do find a lot of inspiration that I never get around to posting, though. I may very well start posting more than once every day, because I'm not sure I'm too keen on mashing everything together in one daily post (like I did in this one). I think I'll do it gradually (and at my own leisure), but there are no rules here. Anything goes.

Today, I kind of freaked out over two items from the-factory-vintage on eBay

If this would fit me (I'm a 34 bust, not 32), I wouldn't be sharing it with you, I'd have it selfishly bookmarked for myself.


I own too many sequined things already to justify purchasing this.

I also figured I'd share with you a couple pictures from today. I wore this outfit already in my Wild Winter post on January 18th, but I realized, I never showed it without the hoodie! I thought it looked particularly nice with just the vest over the shirt.

Me at 9am, almost late for class.

And lastly, how cool is this Tetris quilt? Maybe I'm just too nerdy for my own good, but I beat a version of Tetris on an old computer when I was younger and didn't know what to do with my life once I did. This brings back fond memories.

Katy Perry Part Three

Since I've just moved in and I'm feeling a little tired and run down, I will provide you with a bit more inspiration from my favorite, Katy Perry! All original images came from last.fm and/or Google image search.

Katy looks like a strawberry here.

Nice shot.

Ditto, but not great quality.

Nice face?

You know how I feel about florals and full skirts by now.

I just love leopard.

I like the backdrop of this best, to be honest.



Favorite spring/summer color combo.

I want her shirt.

I posted a different picture from this shoot last time, but I like this shot too.

Cute!!! Panda!

So pretty and colorful.

Fruit love.

I like those shoes for some reason...

I kind of like everything about this one.

Uncool As It May Be

Uncool as it may be, I'm really into Hanna Beth's style. Granted, she she doesn't do anything and the only place anyone knows who she is is on Buzznet... Really, I got every single one of these pictures from just searching her name on Buzznet. And granted she's younger than me and mostly probably styled for shoots, but I guess I just love everything she puts on... And it wouldn't be so bad to look like her, either.

Another wonderful inspiration post ahead... Anyone else a fan? What do you think of her?

Windows Shopping

I went window shopping on Etsy today because after I got home at around noon from a stay at my boyfriend's house, I haven't left my house. My car is trapped in my driveway and while I was tempted to go thrifting, I haven't been feeling that irresistable urge to spend all of my money the second I get it lately. It's actually quite relieving. I haven't shopped much for myself since Christmas, and I'm still sitting on a fistful of gift cards... Here's some stuff I would love to own, but for one reason or another, I'm not buying!! I never became a recessionista, per se, I've just always been broke!

I actually really want a pair of these shoes, but these aren't my size. I guess my problem is not knowing what key words to search for with these. Anyone know anything specific that'd help me out?


Cute dress. Oh, and it would fit me? Oh, balls. I just know I'd never wear it because it's a tube dress.


I've been thrifting sequined things like crazy lately. Otherwise, this dress might tempt me to buy it.


If this would fit me, it would already be mine.


Oh, aren't WE cute?! Only $8.


Oh, I want.


Love this.


Aaaand a little something from eBay. I would rock these if that one part was any color other than yellow.

Edit: I caved and did some buying tonight...

In my defense, I was searching for ruffly pink dresses to girl-ify my new motorcycle jacket (that I... ahem... forgot about). But now I sort of want to wear this just like the girl modeling it is wearing it. $25.


Couldn't help myself. Yow, $18 for a necklace.

Handscapes?

Can we discuss how effing cool these are?!

Original image: zlda.nl

They're "Handscape" rings by Zelda beauchampet. The description at this site says "Handscape turns your fingers into a little landscape. Elements of our daily lives have been translated into small figures. There are six different rings which you can combine as you like. Just put them around your finger and create a personal handscape. "

If you've got a crapton of money to blow on trees and bunnies... Shop here. And get me some, while you're at it.

Katy Perry Part Two

I thought it was about time to go through some more pictures of one of my biggest "style crushes" or whatever you'd want to call her.

More Katy Perry for you.

All original images came from last.fm and/or Google image search.

How... Precious?

I love that she wears a lot of turquoise and pink together. And I love this little two-piece set, too.

I really must own this dress. Seriously, it makes me crazy thinking about it.


Um. Hello. How ridiculous is this? ...That's how much I love it.

I love ice cream, hearts... Anything cutesy.

I'm pretty sure I own this dress/tunic or something that's virtually identical.

Goofy.

Fun sunglasses.

I love this romper. And that belt. Very 80s.

That dress... Can you say COVET?

I call people on my shoes all the time.

I like the colors.

I want my walls to look like those.

Ridiculously oversized bow. Oh, if I could only get away with this.

Super vintage. Super cool.
