Etsy Love: Little Bird Necklaces

Sometimes, my Etsy Love posts come together organically as I’m favoriting items on Etsy.  Such was the case with this post.  I began to notice that I had many items in my favorites that were “little bird” themed.  Some searching revealed to me that there’s quite a few beautiful items with little birds in them.  [...]

Etsy Vintage Love: Owl Brooches

I was starting to put together an Etsy love set focused on owls, but then I realized that there is such a huge abundance of owl themed items on Etsy that it would be impossible to narrow it down into just one set.  So I decided to go with three.  Today’s will focus solely on [...]

Accessories Inventory: Analyzing what you have

Shoes: 23 total (get another view here)
Looking at this image, I’m actually surprised at how few pairs of shoes I have.  I’m pretty set in the casual department, mostly from inheriting about five pairs of Chuck Taylors when my boyfriend realized he was wearing the wrong size (which just happened to be mine).  I’m [...]

Accessories Inventory: The Raw Numbers

My Accessories Spread
I thoroughly enjoyed my wardrobe inventory, and it seems that many of you did too.  I’ve decided to go ahead and do a similar inventory of my accessories. I don’t think there will be quite as much purging here though.  Since accessories take up much less space than clothes, it’s possible to have [...]

Shopping Ban: Week 4

So, I didn’t buy anything this week, mostly because I don’t get my first full paycheck until next Friday, and money is very tight.  Also, I’m going to the beach for four days starting tomorrow, so I want to save my money for enjoying some vacation time.
While not spending money, I have been spending a [...]

Etsy Love: Layered Chain Necklaces

I’ve been noticing a few layered chain necklaces appearing on the front pages of Etsy, but when I actually began searching for them, I was amazed at just how many I found.  I guess they’re a new trend for the fall, although whether or not something is trendy doesn’t really matter to me.  I love [...]
