My girlfriend, Laura sent a few pics from a photo shoot she had last weekend for her clothing line. I think they are so rad, I wanted to share. Her 3 new shirt designs are possibly my favorite thus far, but she always has come up with really great stuff. It’s amazing that it keeps getting better.
from her shoot:
Here are a few taken by an excellent local photographer that she works with:
I Love her new designs. I am lucky enough to own the Bird cage tank top. I love the colors she chose!!!

Lots of work, lack of money, trying this Etsy thing out, oh, and a link to a giveaway…
This week has begun particularly rainy, cloudy and gloomy. Very fitting with my mood. Tax day is Thursday, and I owe. Sat with a tax man to help me sort everything out, only to find out that I didn’t even have the funds to pay him to file for me. Sooooo, I have to go back tomorrow morning, after having to beg for money to borrow until payday, ironically on Thursday. Today has been pretttttttty gloomy for me. I was really planning on not needing to ask ANYONE for money throughout this mess I’m in. (losing a roommate and having to take on paying a 2 person lease on my own, my decision, yes, then realizing I will owe on my taxes, and thennnn my Salary being cut by 50%). This may all be too too personal. But, sometimes you just need to VENT! after each thing, I kept telling myself “I’ll figure it all out, it’ll be okay!” Always the optimist, I got hit after hit. I’m officially down on the ground. Hoping to climb back up pretty quickly. I’m sorry, I’m not hoping, I’m doing it.
I have wanted to start an Etsy shop for some time, and what better time to start than now? Exactly. So, I’ve holed myself up inside my apartment quite a bit, and probably will continue to do so until I have a large amount of product that I am happy with.
I opened the shop today, with the most basic simple items I could whip up just get it started. But, I promise I have some great ideas in store. And every second I get to spend on it, I do (sadly my 50% salary cut does not come with a 50% work load cut, so I am still working full time). I love getting to do something I love and the hope that it will possibly turn into something profitable, even if it’s very minor. It is still very fun WORK.
So, check it out:
Please keep in mind that it is still very much a work in progress.
Also, I teamed up with Emily again this month for another giveaway. This month, Strawberries! Check it out, and enter to win!
Reviews & Giveaways: Have a BERRY nice day.
And now, off to the gym for my new favorite class to get some of the ickies out.

New favorites
Really, into these blogs, I’ve discovered recently.
Just a FUN blog. Lot’s of outfit posts, which I LOVE! AND, it’s done by 2 friends (one in NY, one in Philly) so you get double the outfit posts. Such a great idea. Love these girls now. Go now, http://www.crowded-closet.com/
Discovered Rebecca from snooping the Wardrobe Remix group at Flickr.com. I just think shes so elegant looking. and I love her style. Url: http://no48.blogspot.com/
Another I found through the wardrobe Remix group. Maria is from Finland, and if you have Google Chrome it will translate her Finnish blog for you. If not, she even has an english language blog! Url: http://www.heijastuspinta.com/ or the original Finnish blog: http://www.heijastuspinta.fi/
On this note, I was thinking of taking my blog into a fashion, style, diy, sewing direction soley, rather than it being a bunch of random thoughts or thing I want. And it’s not because I think I have great style, it’s because I do have a lot of great clothes and I’m thinking it will motivate me to wear them more rather than worry about ruining them and leaving them safely in my closet. I do have quite a collection of jeans, and shoes, and so on. And, I just feel inspired to do so. So,I may give this a try. I may fail, and want to talk about other random shit. BUT, it is my blog and I can do that.
Please, don’t judge too much.
LOVE this.
I know I haven’t posted much, but I promise things are coming with the weekend, and the time I get during it!
For now though, I really just want to share this (written by Kelle of Enjoying the Small things):
“The thing is, I hate being sad. I hate being negative. And while I may be teased on my over-positivity or need to find a cape emblazoned with “Enjoying the @#!*-ing Small Things,” I too wallow in a bad mood from time to time. However, I’ve found I am quite healed by the Fake It Till You Make It Strategy–searching for the good (and there’s lots to find), writing about the good, taking pictures of the good, talking about the good–basically bathing in the many little things that bring joy to our life until I am no longer faking it, I believe it completely and have allowed the good to rise above the bad in that ever present glass of “Half Full.” Unrealistic? Perhaps, but I don’t think so. Regardless, I’d much rather live life as an unrealistic optimist than a realistic miserable pessimist. It’s so much more fun.”
So well said. This woman, Kelle of Enjoying the Small things may very well be my hero. I just LOVE love that paragraph.
Thanks to Emily for leading me to her blog by chance. I Love the beautiful photos, such lovely writing.
and again, for kicks and a smile
“I’d much rather live life as an unrealistic optimist than a realistic miserable pessimist. It’s so much more fun.””
