107: Owl Wednesday

Wow, 

who can believe that it's Wednesday already?

Not me, 

I thought that yesterday was Wednesday... and somehow today felt like a Tuesday or Thursday... 

boy am I off!

 :-)

 I'm sorry, but if the maker is going to include a pic like the one above, then how can I leave it out?!

ah! Owl-love mitten/gloves :-) how cute!

Fringe-y owl earrings? yes please!

These are totally cool and totally affordable... Sweet!

Well... I'm about to crash after a busy few days, so if you'll excuse me...

ta ta

105: Owl Wednesday

 I had a wonderfully blessed and busy day today, and I was happy to realize that it's Wednesday and that means I can do my Owl Wednesday post!

I usually feel like an OW post on... like a Thursday or something, and then I've just missed the mark and have to wait a whole 'nother week to write the post!

Yes yes, very tragic. 

What's so wonderful about this bag, is that you may not notice that it's an owl-inspired design if you're not looking close enough. I like that it's subtle.

Long live the sparkly incognito owl bags! :-)

There are no words ;-)

it's adorable.

These are less of the whimsical owls, and more of the angry I'm-gonna-eat-your-cat type...

but they're still cool :-)

As long as they leave my Heathcliff alone...

Happy happy Wednesday my lovelies,

feel free to leave comments, or suggestions :-)

Ta!

103: Favorites Friday

Friday!

Well I don't know about you, but I'm having a very nice Friday.

There's something so sweet about being productive in the morning. 

I don't usually do it, so it's all the more shocking when I do manage to pull myself up by my bootstraps and get something done before noon (other than achieving my next life-time goal in Sims)

;-)

Okay,

Today I'm lovin' on a few things,

!!!
Last night they did a riddikulus challenge about designing for babies, and I must say, the babies were the best part. I think the judges couldn't hardly get through critiquing because of the adorableness of the babies in front of them!


And then, while I was watching with my parents, my mother turned to me and asked
"who's Heidi Klum? Should I know her"
:-O I about turned inside out as I quickly responded with
"SHE'S HEIDI KLUM! SHE'S A SUPERMODEL! FROM GERMANY!!!!"
*sigh*

So, on another note, I did buy this watch after all of my going back and forth...

It's super cute, and it was super cheap from Sammydress
Be warned though, that since the company is based in China, the shipping takes a while and can be a little pricey if the item doesn't come with free shipping (like this beauty did)..
But if you think about it, the low cost of the items kind of make up for the cost of shipping... so it all evens out :-)

Speaking of Sammydress,
I have a new item that I'm vacillating over...

This is such a cute envelope bag, and I've liked the style for a while now,
I'm ordering it today (yay!) and I'm super excited :-)
I like to window shop for things, and it definitely peaks my interest and convinces me to buy more when I see that something is cute AND affordable. :-)


Now, in the past year or so, I have for sure caught House-Fever. It's like baby fever, but you don't need a man to cure it. ;-)
So anyway, I love all things decor and design, anything that will give me ideas about how to "dress" my house once I *finally* buy it!

 Well,
I'm exhausted from the shopping and talking, so I'm gonna retire to some home-made pizza..
have a great weekend all!

Ta!

psst... check out below for some more house-tastic items

Favorites Friday

Another week is come and gone, 

now how about some new pretty loves to finish it off well?

Here we go 

How beautiful are those clutches? 

Just click on the pic to see their sources :-)

I know it's a short list today, 

but I have a job I have to get to. 

Have a great weekend!

I know I will, I'm going to autocross my little Focus in a parking lot tomorrow!

It's like racing for amateurs :-)

Ta!

Last Night as I was Dreaming

I thought of my Future-House

and imagined the office/workspace that I would set up there...

(I also have a complete Pinterest board committed to this)

Here's how I view the office in Future-House

 

 (This desk)

Light and Airy.

That's the plan :-)

CUTE little accessory for the desk.

I absolutely love willow trees, and this is just the perfect touch for bringing that love indoors

I'm terrible at making decisions. So this is just what I need. Ha!

 

 

I love this idea for a girl/guy who's just moved out for the first time,

cause how on earth am I supposed to know what to buy?!

I love pretty much all of the products by Knock Knock

they're stellar.

And super cool for a person like me, who dreams of being organized but just can't seem to do it on her own...

 

 

I pretty much suck at keeping a fish alive.

I went through a stage when I really wanted a fish, and I kept buying them after the previous fishy died... but after the third or fourth one, I kinda gave up. :-(

I may try again one day, if I could get this fish bowl and set it up real pretty on my desk :-)

Maybe then fishy would survive... *fingers crossed*

What good is a new house with a world full of oppertunities if you don't take a hold of them by the horns and make them bend to your will?

... well... that's what this lamp says to me...

it says... "your mother wouldn't understand this piece if you brought it home to her... BUT YOUR MOTHER AIN'T HERE! THIS IS YOUR HOUSE NOW!!! woot woot!"...

yeah... it's a very vocal lamp.

this clock screams CARA! to me,

so maybe as a homage to her, I would incorperate it into the design of the dream-y office plan. :-)

 

well... that's about as far as my late-night imaginings got,

so, for now I'll say

 

Ta!

Love and Pain

I have this thing...

I sometimes love a post soo much that i see it as a shame to write a new one and

 "demote" the current star of the show...

I think I'm going to have to get over this though.

I simply adore the last three posts that I've done,

they make my heart melt and my wallet cry out in pain ;-)

 

I've been feeling weirdly geeked about my blog lately!

 

Let the geeking continue!!!

 

 

 

This cuff is super sweet and a great pop of color to add to an outfit.

This is from a new-to-me store called QuestHavenFashions.com

So far, their prices are reasonable and they have some pretty cool stuff. :-)

 

 

I recently saw another pair of peacock earrings, and I just can't seem to keep them out of my mind.

When ever I go to the store now I always look at them... dreaming of the day that I'll be able to justify $15 on earrings.

ANYWAY... these are very very very pretty also, and equally tempting.

 

 

They're a lovely color of blue, they're bold, they're SWEET...

and the fact that they're large statement pieces just makes my day.

 

Some of you may recall the great drama of my life *ha*

that happened last year when I got my ears pierced.

It was a whole thing about them being woggedy and off-centered and stuff...

so anyway, now that I've been pierced for almost a full year, it's hard to believe that I was ever that worried about it.

 

My ears are FINE now...

no probs.

they've stopped catching infections and stuff (thank you God)

so now I'm able to focus on this new totally rad way of accessorizing!!!

 

LONG LIVE THE EARRINGS!

 

Ta! my lovelies!

OWL WEDNESDAY!

After all of the craziness of the week and of life in general, 

it's nice to get back to just talking about pretty things

and feel reconnected with what I love. 

I found a fantastic new website that I'm excited to show you on Friday for Favorites Friday's post....

you should start getting excited now :-)

I'm a wise one

It's so cutsie and fun and light/airy. 

Very Cool.

Now, this next pic is unfortunately the best I could pull from the website, I understand why they felt the need to make it so hard... but it's still a bummer when I'm trying to showcase what awesome work they've done...

Over-Sized Owl Shirt Dress

It's just so darned cute.

And maybe it has to do with my envy of tiny Asian girls and how adorable they look in just about *everything*

But still... it's cute, laid back, and fun!

Owl Cuff

*-* eeeeeeeee!

how adorkable is that?

very. very very. 

Darn these thick wrists I have been cursed with!

I am too much Dutch blood in me to even dream of being able to wear this beautiful cuff...

so I'll just look at it from afar and dream of the places we'd go together... *sigh*

(I may just have to buy it anyway)

oh well.

happy Wednesday my lovelies!

I hope you have a great day and find some cheer from this little taste of Owl-y-ness 

;-)

Ta!

Owl Wednesday

Hello Lovelies :-)

This is my third day of summer break! ahhhhh!

I'm so happy.

and I have started my new exercise routine which i really hope to continue through the whole summer and beyond. I'm alternating doing Pilates and Yoga in the morning.

I ache.

so bad.

but it's a really really good ache! so I'm happy.

On to the OWLS!

(and no, i don't mean our Ordinary Wizarding Levels)

What a cutsie little thing to have peeking out of your cupboards. :-)

Owl Ready To Go

Group Hug Ring Set

Owl Be seeing you 

the above is a beautiful scarf that I really like,
unfortunately I can't find the link to where I got this picture! (I found it now! it WAS from Modcloth!)
I was thinking that this was from Modcloth (like all of my other pics, ha)
but I can't even find it on their site.


so if anyone knows where it's from please let me know!
cause I'm not trying to rip anybody off or take credit for anything... I honestly just don't know where it's from :-(


Ta for now!

~Liddy~

Owl Wednesday!!!

Hello my Lovelies!

I'm so excited to be back with you all for our first Owl Wednesday in a LOOOOOOONNNNNNNG time :-)

It's a good day.

I only have two more days to work until I have a little summer break and start scrounging around for another source of income :-D this is very exciting to me though, so I'm not stressed out about it, yet.

and BAM! I'm back!

exciting, I know.... :-)

Owl Times Sake Belt

 *-* how cute is this thin little belt? I love it.

It's cute, and bright and summer-y and all of that jazz.

 Owl Encompassing Necklace

this is a pretty little thing,

not overpowering, but still a statement of "I am Owl, hear me hoot"

The owls alternate size, which is nice, I think, to keep it from being too bulky.

 Owl I Need

 *ahem*...

I love me some Modcloth.

and I guess one of the things you have to take with it is that it's not always going to be glamour.

which, really... is a nice thing.

this bag is far from glamour. but it's definitely an owl thing.

and for that I will include it in my post. but for not much more. I admire it's color, but really it's a shocking little bag, and hard to style I would imagine.

I look forward to another OW next week and I hope that you guys will too!

Maybe we'll even have time for a Favorites Friday this week ;-)

Ta!

Owl Wednesday

Owl Be Home Orniments

They're cute...

I mean, they're adorable!

And they're all these different colors!

That's about it.

For me, I like a little more class and subtlety when I go for a fad thing like this.

They're just a tad...gaudy... I hated to say that because you know how much I love Modcloth!

They're cutsie, but they're not quite my style, that's all I'm saying...

and now onto some things that ARE my style!

Woman of the Owl-r

More me-ish. If you know what I mean

At Your Beak and Call

OH MY GOSH

Okay, okay.

So I think that I've posted about this phone pouch before, but COME ON!

How could I not talk about something as great and cute and sweet as this?!

And honestly, I'm a sucker for crocheted things.

Really, when I look at it, it makes me think of my chest of yarn,

and now I have decided to make my own Owl Phone cover, inspired by Modcloth's!

YAY ME!

Have a great Wednesday!

and Happy Christmas!

~Liddy~
