Random etsy favorites

2Hi all,

I've been really low on funds lately (apparently I can apply my numbers addiction to saving rather than spending?) so I've been stalking etsy for things that I wish to add to my life.... You can follow me on etsy here. I love following other users and stealing wishlist items from them! Here are some of my recent favorite shoes, accessories and clothing items:

Leather, suede, etc... and then shiny and leggings? Not sure where that came from! I have really been loving moccasins and ballet flats the past few weeks - not sure if I'm just yearning for spring while wanting to stay cozy or what. With the leather bracelet, I have been wanting a good wrap bracelet for a while, but never picked one up. I usually don't wear jewelry outside of a ring I got from Jack last year for my birthday. Dress is adorbs and would make me feel like a ballerina, and the leggings have a cat with antlers. So neat! (I love everything with cats, apparently)

Etsy wishlist finds: Strawberry vintage edition!

I have been OBSESSED with strawberry things the past few days... Here are a few of my favorite items I've found on etsy!

I have a few of these on my wish lists... I hope I am able to add some to my home soon!

My list from yesterday:

• Visit a vintage shop (today) didn't happen, so I will try for sometime soon
• Bodycombat (today) Was awesome! It's a bit of a drive, but I enjoyed the instructor. Happy I was able to last through the whole session too....
• Bodypump (tomorrow)
• Visit Lush (today) Aaaah, I went in with a list. The poor SA kept asking IS THERE MORE YOU WANT TO SEE? Her basket was already full- leave me with my purchases in peace!
• Watch the Superbowl! (tomorrow!) Taking this off- we're probably going to stay inside so we can.....
• Clean the apato (hahahahha) !! We've made some progress today. One of our neighbors had to move abruptly, and gave a few things to us. Merging it in with our own things has allowed for a pretty big rehaul in the kitchen!
• Take the most luxurious bath possible! (whenever) I got a few bath bombs from Lush today- not sure which I want to use tomorrow. Ex Factor (I'm a sucker for cute things that remind me of Taylor Swift songs), Dragon Egg or the mystery one I got a while ago but haven't checked out in a while.... 
• Revisit my favorite blogs to see how everyone has been (all weekend) I feel bad about not getting to this yet. I've been really surprised about how busy I am today - moving things around in the apartment, dishes, and watching Star Trek Voyager with Jack. We are obsessed with this show. 
• Scrapbook! (tomorrow) I have been collecting my pictures/receipts for my PL spreads- I have about three weeks I want to complete. I've cleared off a ton of my desk so it will hopefully go pretty fast in the print/laying out area, so I can embellish a ton!
• Visit a friend (at some point!) I hope I get to this as well- Jack and I usually double date with friends every week and we couldn't meet up this week. Sad stuff! Hopefully we will be able to next week.

My list for today:

• Bodypump (today)
• My normal sunday cleaning extravaganza
• Grocery shopping (today)
• Scrapbook! (today)
• Clean the apato (today)
• Take the most luxurious bath possible (today) 
• Revisit my favorite blogs :) (always)
• Visit a vintage shop (sometime soon)

I have been logging my food on MyFitnessPal lately- if you want to add me or anything feel free! I love reading other peoples food diary's- I get tons of ideas. :)

things to remind me of home

1 2 3 4 5 6

Every so often I like to go through etsy and find things that scream I AM HOME. I am not about subtle influences at all. I may have to pick up that sweatshirt now. 

Waiting for Jack to get home! We decided to plan out our meal this week and it went over pretty well! I'll probably expand on this later with pictures- I've had to move them onto an external, and I'm not usually at my desk so I go along time between uploading/editing. I am starting to get a teensy bit better about taking photos that aren't of cats at least. :)

I hope everyone had a fantastic week! Happy Friday!

Apartment Decoration, geek posters

As Jack is a true, true bachelor he never actually had wall art beyond a Budwesier Dart Board. Which is in our living room right now with nothing else. Until I moved I had a room plastered with posters, so it's been different for me having blank walls. But there are pluses! You get to start over.

I saw a sale over on Fab.Com for awesome geek-genre posters by etsy seller Harshness who designs and prints archival quality posters in various sizes. He is running a B1G1 right now if you like his Facebook page which actually makes this deal better than purchasing through Fab, and you get a wider selection.

Jack is a huge Star Wars fan (I am not a huge fan, but I am not totally disinterested) and we both love the design of these posters, so we got the set of all 6, 11"x17" which we'll be framing as soon as they get in and putting over our TV.

I've been going through etsy a lot trying to figure out what I want on my walls, and you can see some more awesome posters I've found if you click the read more link.
