must have mondays {inspiration}

Wow, it has been way too long.

These past few months have been interesting. I moved to a new state and have been on an emotional roller coaster! Last week I successfully found a new job! I will be working at a Consignment store in a really cool neighborhood. They sell furniture, housewares, knick-knacks, and women's clothing! The ultra bonus is that there are two big sweet dogs who hang out in the store all day! I know that I will be able to find some great items and inspiration while working there full time.

I have been seriously lacking inspiration these past few weeks and have been completely preoccupied with life! I really love where I'm living and have been trying to get out of the house and explore more than anything. After getting my new job and feeling like things have finally turned around I decided that getting back into blogging is a must.

Here is a completely random set of images I have been collecting over the past few weeks.

What has been inspiring you lately?!?!

obsession {Shoegaze Boot}

Am I totally nuts for being obsessed with these little booties by Shellys of London?!?! Not only am I already infatuated with Sea Foam Green they are made of canvas! I think they would be adorable with denim shorts or frilly summer dresses. I don't see any reason not to get them, but I have a feeling there might be some people who are totally over them.

What do you think of these?

help! {octopus ring}

Is there anyone out there who can tell me where this ring is from?!?!?!

I'm in ♡ and can't seem to find it anywhere!

UPDATE: thanks to Heather Taylor @ The Dream Machine ! She let me know the ring is made by Antonio Palladino which makes it way out of my price range ☹

If you do know any etsy sellers who make octopus rings....please share!!

take me away.

Just some photos in my collection that are inspiring to me right now.

I really can't wait for the day I own a house rather then renting one! I just want to paint and have lots of puppies!

Do you rent or own your place?

help! {cracking knuckles}

I have been cracking my knuckles since 4th grade; I am now 24!!!

I need to stop the madness before I get too old and have ridiculous hands that can't move. It also doesn't help that I annoy the shit out of people when I do it.

The only problem is I can't seem to quit, I have tried going a couple days at a time without cracking but I will end up cracking them without even thinking about it.

I need your HELP!

Do you have any tips that might help me from cracking my knuckles?

Just as it is.

a lovely sort of day.

Spending the day with me, myself, and I and am planning on treating myself to a lot of thrifting, sewing, and tons of tea drinking. I'm hoping I can do a post tomorrow of all of the amazing things I find! So, I leave you with some cute pictures that I have been admiring lately.

What are you doing today?!?!

You were one of the best designers out there, you and your talent will seriously be missed.

must have mondays {dream clutches}

A girl can dream right? These clutches aren't exactly practical especially when you consider their price but these gorgeous hand-made pieces could make you and any old outfit the center of attention. Judith Leiber handbags have been around since 1963 and have consistently been one of the more popular accessories for fashionistas on the red carpet. If I had to pick just one Judith Leiber creation it would definitely be the snake bag, seriously how bad ass is that clutch?
