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 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 [...]

Etsy Love: Tough, Yet Elegant

After my recent call for reader requests, I received a request for an Etsy Love set that features tough, yet elegant accessories.  Being that I like to incorporate touches of punk rock into my style on occasion, I was more than eager to begin this search.  I think the key to making tough accessories elegant [...]

Etsy Love: Put a Ring on It

I only own three rings, and I rarely wear them.  But lately I’m finding myself drawn to all the gorgeous rings on Etsy, so I think I might start to incorporate them into outfits more often.  Most of the rings I’ve selected are of the statement variety, which is what I feel most drawn to [...]
