I love these t-shirt aprons for about 10 zillion reasons.
1. They’re super cute. (Obviously.)
2. They’re easy to make.
3. They’re a great way to save that favorite tee that’s gotten holey.
4. Or take advantage of a great t-shirt sale
5. They’d make an awesome gift.
Okay, five. Five reasons I cannot go on without one.

As in mine is right around the corner, this Thursday as a matter of fact. (My birthday, not my party.) And while I’m not much for extravagant celebrations centered around myself, who doesn’t love the idea of their special day being just that… special. I’m thinking my ideal par-tay might go a little something like this.
I’d definitely need a gorgeous dress (Or two. Or three.). Wardrobe changes are sooo in right now. Left to right: 3.1 Philip Lim handmade sequined silk dress, alice + olivia dress with organza skirt, Zucca accordion pleat lace detail dress
And of course no party ensemble would be complete without a bit of baubly bling. Left to right: limitless strand necklace + sera petal posts, scintilla triple strand + minted leaf earrings, beaded swag bib necklace + weimar earrings
And although I’ll probably end up barefoot by the end (all good parties end sans shoes), I probably shouldn’t start out that way. Left to right: Clara’s slipper flats, first-glow peep toes, eyelet platforms
Confetti System would of course be in charge of decorating every nook and cranny with sparkly awesomeness.
Shiny happy dinnerware would definitely be in order because we’d have to stop and eat at some point…
… you know, to soak up some of the alcohol. Left to right: brandy milk punch, ginger & lemon beer, hot chambord cider
And there would be lots and lots of cake, more than even I could handle, decorated with these banners.
You’re invited, think you can clear your schedule?

Hey: Sunday is the last day to sign up for this year’s Calendar Swap! Get on the ball or miss out until next October. (And possibly be wandering around for an entire year in the meantime, clueless as to what month or day it is. But you know, your choice…)

I’ve always been drawn to the unique (sometimes wonderfully snarky) handmade pieces In God We Trust creates, but that ring? It had me at hello. It’s even called the Rad Ring. Wish List, meet your newest member.

When I first saw these shoe clips from No. 144 I was immediately reminded of a similar thing my mom had when I was a kid. Clip on shoe accessories that breathed a bit of new life into a pair of heels she’d tired of or to match a certain outfit for a special occasion. I wonder why they’ve never been more popular when there’s the chance to make one pair of simple shoes look like ten. Love the bright colors! {via SeeSaw Designs}
Posted In accessories, shoes, wear itWhen pressed to name my favorite shape I inevitably go with the circle. I like its fluid line, how there’s no real start or end to it all. But these days, at least in my own personal shape race, the triangle is closing the lead. It’s like the more angular, striking sister to the circle and I think I’m ready to have more of her in my life.

First thought, I’ve been watching way too much Dexter because I automatically think of him when I see a long apron. Second thought, this skeleton apron would come in handy for messy me when I make caramel apples tomorrow night. Third thought, I’m short – I wonder whether or not all the bones would line up correctly?
Loving the leatherwork of aficionado Chloe Townsend, she has a great way of experimenting with color and texture under her label Missibaba that I can’t get enough of. She’s also super passionate about South Africa and supporting the local industries there, which makes buying her pieces feel that much better. {via Shiny Squirrel}

My aunt is an elementary school librarian by day and a lace maker by night. She’s been creating really beautiful work for the last twenty years or so and one Christmas she even made me my own lace pillow, round with burgundy velvet and nail head detailing around the edge. It was gifted in a canvas bag with straight pins, lace patterns, the works. The only thing was… I was ten and never really got into it. That hasn’t stopped me from appreciating the time and skill required to create such intricate pieces and admiring their beauty.These necklaces (and bracelets and earrings) from White Owl by Spivak & Spivak are gorgeous and perfectly within my price range, which I happily found a little surprising.

You didn’t know that was an actual medical condition, did you? Huh, well, I assure you it is. I’ve already broken out my favorite, have you?
