Be Mine Only

How do you come up with titles for your posts?  Sometimes I choose titles based on specific items in my photos.  More often though, I use something I've jotted down in my journal-a phrase maybe or part of a conversation I overheard in my favorite cafe or a song lyric.  Also, choosing a title depends a lot on what is going on in my life at that particular moment. Every title means something to me.  I'm always interested to learn about people's creative process.

I decided to play around some in photoshop and gave my images an antiquey aged look. I'm more of an illustrator girl but I'm learning to love photoshop.

I finally splurged on the sLink barefeet and I'll never take them off (yeah, I know I'm behind).  I don't buy shapes often but I decided to try a Savoir Faire Shape.  They are having a 50% off sale through December 3.  And I know I always go on about Sn@tch but I love Ivey Deschanel's fashions.  That is all.  At least for an early Saturday morning.  I hope you have a great weekend!

Higher Ground

Do you ever stalk the feeds looking for an item that you're about to blog hoping it won't be blogged 1,000 times over.  And yeah, guess what?  It's blogged, maybe not 1,000 times but quite a lot.  Oh well, people have good taste!  And since this new blog is too new to be on any feeds, why do I even care?

I'm wearing the new boho dress by DCNY.  I love it.  Schadenfreude is becoming one of my fave shops because I never know what Allegory is going to come up with and I'm always pleasantly surprised.  I decided to try some hair from Analog and I kind of like it.

Anyways, it's Monday and I hope all of you have a fabulous one because if more people have great Mondays (as opposed to the number of people that have bad ones) then maybe, just maybe, all that goodness will reach each of us.  Corny I know but I try to be an optimist in a sea of pessimists.

I'm so glad I know more than I knew then

terri.tees

so terri.tees is one of my favorite shops.  I've been getting Terri Wardell's tees since 2010.  Sometimes she is quiet for months and then all of sudden, woohoo!  I get a whole bundle from her.  I know Halloween is tomorrow and I should have blogged these a couple weeks ago but hey, I'm blogging them now!  *shouldacouldawoulda*

Anyways, she has awesome tees so even though Halloween is almost over, she will definitely have something else to your liking.  And her prices are amazing!

For these photos, no photoshopping was used (except cropping).  Sometimes, I play around with brightness/contrast, hue/saturation and curves, trying to stay as true to the color (of whatever item I'm blogging) as I can.  Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes not.

Missing nyc...

...there's not much else to say.  I miss nyc.  Terribly.  I was telling a friend recently, who still lives there, that whenever I hear sirens (which isn't often) where I live currently, my heart aches for nyc.  If you've ever lived there or live there now you probably understand the ache I'm talking about.

FaMESHed has so many amazing items this time around and my favorite is the trench coat from NYU.  When the weather changed it nyc it meant that I could go shopping for a new coat.  Good times.  I miss that too.  And the smelly subways.  The boots are from HOF and I love the bronze color.  Also, lately, I've been experimenting with Del May poses.  They are fabulous.

Sunday

Sundays are anything can happen days for me.  I don't like to make definite plans. I like to leave things up to chance.

I love Sn@tch.  When Ivey releases new stuff, sometimes I buy everything for that week and other times I don't buy anything for a month.  In the end though, I usually end up with everything!  With all that said, I had to get the adorable cafe dress. This new hair by Exile is one of my favorites...ever!  And I've recently started wearing items from Zibska.  I love the makeup and want to try the jewelry and hair next.  So many creators, so little time (and lindens!).

Happy Sunday!

Planets

Collabor88 is one of my favorite events of the month.  So many great finds at affordable prices.  Of course, if you buy Everything it's really not that affordable!  This dress by Schadenfreude is so lovely, I had trouble picking a color because all five colors are gorgeous.
