i've got the blues.
These are the most recent additions to my ring collection, and clearly I am into the blue/silver colors for this summer. I've also discovered one of my new favorite websites for jewelry- 2dollarjewelry.com, where everything is... you guessed it... 2 dollars. My boyfriend treated me to some pieces for my birthday, and all the rings except for the turquoise one on my middle finger (ebay) are from that website. Got some great bracelets and necklaces from there too, which I will post later. I can't reccommend the site enough for when you need a cheap fix.

The Wonder Years
I'm twenty three. Well, I have been now for a few days already. What a weird time in my life... I still feel in many ways like I am 18, and looking like I am much younger than that doesn't help either. The eve of my birthday was as low key as I wanted it to be. We headed to the local bar and I brought Nancy Drew madlibs, where we celebrated with beers, grilled cheese, chocolate cake shots and dirty adjectives and adverbs. The next day brought a bit of window shopping and a trip to the thrift store, where I scored the perfect vintage t-shirt and pendleton wool jacket. Then, some of my old college pals (wooah) came and we went to the Fireplace for MORE grilled cheese, onion rings and root beer floats. Followed by an evening of hardcore dancing fueled by $3 land sharks. Here's hoping my 23rd year is the best yet.

loving the library.

A quick collage of the goings on in my life:
Went to the library (blockbuster WHO) to get some free rentals. Walked away with Mirrors, Wendy and Lucy, Silkwood, and Rendition. I think I'm going to pop in Silkwood tonight, as I love vintage Cher. Lately I have been on a beading frenzy. These are some of my new bracelets that I have made- and the one on the bottom left is a dream catcher one that I am making a bunch more of and will put in my shop soon. Also pictured is my hand- as you can see I have a new found love of wearing toe rings (ewww) on my actual fingers. They fit just right above my knuckle and I'm digging the look. Finally- my latest Polyvore. Wish I had everything in this picture. ::sigh::

spring
new season... new haircut... new necklace.
This past weekend was completely gorgeous and lifted my spirits, hopefully into a more productive mood. As soon as I saw this necklace on F21, I knew it had to be mine. It sure is a statement piece.
glasses, necklace and jeans: f21 / shoes: thrifted / shirt: handed down from my friend Kelly.

just some things





1. My friend Erin gave me this Avon compact. I don't think they ever produced it, but the colors sure are pretty.
2. I decided on wearing one of my thrifted flannels (the older the better, in my opinion) with my f21 lace arm warmers. Madonna meets lumberjack.
3. I got this shower caddy at the dollar store, but decided to use it to organize my tights. I hate how it's so easy to forget what I have if I can't see it all. I hang this on the back of my closet, and this method helps.
4. Another dollar store shower caddy is perfect for displaying some of my winter scarves. Until I can get my own place and display everything the way I want it, I need to make do with the space I have.
5. Kind of hard to see, but I am loving my new rose hair clips (3 for a dollar!) When they can hold back the mane of hair I am currently sporting, you know they are worth it.

braving the weather
"emmalee, if you were in new york and people saw you dressed like that they would probably throw quarters at you because they would think you're homeless." - my mom, on the way i chose to bundle up today.
layering is key: madrag tights, dad's old levi's, dollar store hiking socks, thrift gray sweater, thrift plaid poncho, thrift scarf, dollar store beanie, thrifted rain boots. the shovel is a prop, my brother really did it :)
