*confession* #327

WHY confession #327, tea?  cuz it sounds cool, right?

confession #1 sounds whack..  like i never had to confess anything until now.. pshhh..  lol

anyway.

i NEED this stuff *right* now.
i'm not even playin'!
check out this shirt.. if it wasn't for the price tag attached, i'd hafta snatch that one up! :)
(remember.. i'm the girl with the $5 price "rule")

 & of course with the pants.. one word.. *STYLINNNN*

i actually have a blanket with this kind of knitted pattern.. i'm feelin' sOoo tempted right about now.

anyway.. inspiration can only get u so far.. then you either hafta start BUYing or MAKEing..

it's up to you.. me. which gets pretty complicated.. i'm one of those girls who doesn't really care for sewing..  *ick*
i'm tempted to buy some ol' skool patterns, though.. maybe that would make the journey a lil' more exciting.. we'll see..  ;)

*remember* confessions are good for the soul. <3

dear hippie dress:

she doesn't deserve you. price does not indicate your value. love does.

i loved you first.

honestly, i didn't have $400 layin' around. i tried to tell you that.

maybe you could sneak away. when you get this letter, send me a private message thru facebook and i'll send you my address.

the internet is just too creepy.

i still love you.

p.s. the REAL free people should've known that you and i belonged together. oh well. find me. i won't stop calling you mine.

funky decor!

... and of COURSE, it's from a free people store. i seriously can't get enough inspiration from this place! ha!!

u would think i have a wardrobe full of their clothing..

unfortunately, i don't.

i can't afford it.. LOL..

*BUT* we can ALL afford a few strips of polyester scarves cut and braided together to hang from our ceilings..

OR.. some old yarn tied around some "found" vessels to put on a dusty shelf..

OR..

some old bandannas from the thrift shop shredded to wrap around SOMEthing useful.

anyway you look at it, there's some AWESOME color awaitin' you.. if you're willing to be adventurous.

hmm.. QUESTION: what funky decor should i work on next...?

:)

records?

you mean... the basically obsolete pieces of plastic that can fill a landfill and destroy the environment all at the same time??

i have TONS of those.. and you probably do, too...

sO.. now you have something funky to do with them..

weird. but definitely funky..

think more.. conversation piece. think.. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE!

and have fun doin' it with your Boy George album from ninth grade..

=)

put yO snacks in THIS!

annoy me.

this has to be one of the most annoying youtube videos i've EVER seen.. LOL

funny.. but annoying. you can watch it here.. if you don't believe me.

but don't say that i didn't warn you. O_o

aprons.

sO.. i've decided that i need a couple of cute aprons! these make cooking seem sO fashionable.

they really are pretty enough to wear!

just what i need to make cooking for my four favorite people a little more enjoyable..

maybe. =)

Do We REALLY Wanna Bring the 80s Back??

this video says it all..

my answer? ....absOLuTeLy NOT.

neat lil' slideshow..

i LOVE old school.. something about the way things USED to be done is aWeSoMe...

and intriguing.. and interesting.. and well.. different.

i DON'T prefer new media.. full of garbage, mudslinging, and filth.

sO.. when old stuff comes around.. most people wanna check it out..

'cos it's kitschy and kool. sometimes. (a couple of the images are not too great, but the majority, you'll find quite amusing..)

anyway, i find lil' tidbits of info interesting..

check it out.. HERE.

VINTAGE!!!

i LOVE vintage ANYTHING!!

the color palettes from other time periods blow me away!

these were people who were not afraid to make their kitchens lime green & orange ... only to leave for work in a suit that would tOtaLLy match their fridge! =)

sO.. i think this place is such a treasure chest..

.. they have some great finds!

check 'em out.. HERE

enjoy!

Lucky..

sO.. i got this issue of Lucky magazine a few weeks ago.. and just before deciding to toss it, i wanted to make sure that i had actually looked at the thing..

and i found this..

the only thing this girl needs.. is an afro! ;-)

i'm pretty sure that i was born in the wrong decade.. i should've been a teenager/young adult in the 60s/70s..

who wouldn't LOVE to have these aWeSoMe argyle tights.. and in EVERY color imaginable??

ok.. maybe it's just me.. maybe i'll get them.. and the dress.. and the turtleneck w/ the cutest button detailing on the sleeves.. ever.

i'm sucha girl! ... anyone wanna donate to my "cause"? LOL.. =)
