Cheeky Fear

I saw this video awhile back and totally forgot about it, but it played today at work and I watched it from a distance and the video is soo asthetically beautiful. Ok yes the song itself is a bit cheeky, it's Lily Allen, and her lyrics will most likely always be cheeky, {my apologies for the language} but man I love this video.

Crazy Lovely Legs


I love lovely legs, and I love them in crazy colors. I am proud to say that I have finally found the courage to step out of the norm and wear crazy leggings of my own, I don't have any pictures to show for it just yet but I really have. Usually I go for the always safe black or gray legging but lately I've been feeling brave and have worn fishnet leggings and mustard leggings of my own. Now I can't help but want to ware them out some more and even go for other colors.
I've searched high and low for inspiration and ideas for outfits to wear with them with and I've found the most amazing blog: Kieko Lynn her outfits are truly amazing and her store is quite amazing as well. Here are some of my favorite outfits of hers with crazy lovely legs.



Both a mustard must.

Pumps with Funk


I'm surrounded by funky shoes all day, sneakers that is, but here are a few pumps I found on Etsy that have some funk of their own. Find them in Ndeurshoes's shop.

Tree Bed

If I could live in the trees, it'd be these.

Music

I haven't shared any music links on this blog, but thought I should start doing so. Here's one of my all time favorite artist Ernie Halter. I believe the first time he covered this live was at the show I went to with my sister a while back.


I hope you have a great day and hope this little melody makes it even sweeter.

Encouraging Finds



When ever I get on Etsy, I never know how to get off. I continue to stumble upon amazing art and today was no execption. Today I fell upon tankandtink's shop and I am totally blessed and encouraged. It never ceases to amaze me and bless me when I see other artist and crafters using their creativity in ways to bring back the glory to The One who blessed them with it. Check out the rest of her lovely prints and I know you'll be encouraged too.

I love love love AHAPPYENDING!!!

It's an absolute joy making new friends on Etsy, friends who craft and get creative too. It's also a great joy to make trades with these fellow Etsians. One of my most recent trades was for a painting on a deep canvas from ahappyending. And man do I love ahappyending.

Here is my "Dreamer of Dreams" print from Nichole, of ahappyending which I've placed in my window sill that sits above my headboard and couldn't have picked a lovelier place. It's sitting next to my broken alarm clock, that's sits next to a photo of my dad, that's next to a hanging bouquet of old roses {something I always do with my roses though I rarely get any}. And if you're wondering why theres a pillow in my window sill behind all this stuff, it's actually a draft pillow I made to help keep the winter chill out.
I love this print oh soo much and it's my first ever but I hope to have a large collection of painted prints one day. I picked this print because I have many dreams and aspirations and little by little God is gracious enough to allow my dreams to slowly become reality .. but as I continue to grow so do my dreams. Yet as ironic as this may sound, I rarely have dreams {scientifically I know I do, but I can never can recall a single one} ... I guess my vivid imagination and limitless aspirations make up for that.
Anyways .. on the other end of this awesome trade, Nichole got some Rini & Faith loving and man is Rini & Faith loving her! Nichole is not only super sweet and super talented, {little.miss.photographer is her blog} but she is as cute as a button!!



You make me want to chop all my hair off Nichole and be a rock star like you!!! Thanks so much for the trade and for the pictures you're awesome and
I love love love ahappyending!!!
Have ahappyending of your own!

Abitare


As me and my Brother walked the streets of his lovely Brooklyn neighborhood I saw this sign hanging from a far. I know a good design when I see one, and even from a far I immediately took to it and knew I had to take a peak inside.



Ask Enrique ... I was super excited to get in there ... drum roll please!!!

sigh .. HELLO THERE BEAUTIFUL!


And what is this hanging in the corner I see???



Are those... Are those skinnylaminx tea towels??? OH YES IT IS!!!! Those in the back looking like Orla .. yes .. those!!!!


Oh my oh my, fancy meeting you here. I knew you looked familiar and yes we have met before.
I've hearted skinnylaminx's Etsy shop forever! 
See why? Another lovely from her Etsy shop. And oh what joy it is to see other Etsian's work out in the real world looking lovelier than ever!!! I think it's about time I get some of skinnylaminx of my own! Ok now back to Abitare.





Everything in that shop was lovely ... and honestly I could see this whole setting in the middle of my dinning room one day. What an amazing space.

To my disappointment I left with nothing, but wanted to take everything ... but I knew I'd have to control myself because I had only a few hours left in Brooklyn and only so much space in my bag left. And since the stuff I really wanted is on Etsy I will go ahead and get some there.. but I'll definitely be back and visit Abitare again, because this shop is to amazing for words!!!



I love love love Abitare!!!
Brooklyn, you're amazing.
