SWEATER: Thrifted DRESS: c/o Lookbook Store PINS: Tiny Tangerines
SOCKS: ASOS* BOOTS: c/o ChicWish

HELLO!! *throws confetti on you!* Can't believe it's been so long since I last posted - I had a few post plans but they kept falling through or not working! ~__~ But moving on...! ♡

LOOK AT THESE BOOTS. It was love at first sight when I saw them on tumblr, so when I was given the opportunity to review a pair from Chicwish I was beyond ecstatic!

I really love how you can customize these in so many different ways by swapping out the laces or just by wearing socks! I've worn them a couple times out and about - each time I have gotten quite a few compliments (quite a rare occurrence for me!) and I *have* noticed that my feet get a little hot - but since I'm so in love with them I don't mind ;__;

I'm going forward to when it gets really rainy again so I can splash in puddles and not have to worry about my shoes getting wet! They are also available in green and yellow.

Since these shoes are so loud, I just wore an all-white outfit (you will be seeing more of that dress soon....!) and accessorized with animal cookie pins by one of my favorite etsy stores, Tiny Tangerines, and pink heart socks from ASOS!

Last week was pretty low-key for me (aka BORING ¬_¬) so what have you guys been up too? Anything interesting? :3 ♡♡♡

Daisies & Buttercups

DRESS: Milk Teeths Vintage TIGHTS: Forever 21 SOCKS: DIY SHOES: ASOS (similar)
BUTTERCUP ZINE: A gift from Paige Joanna ♡♡♡ TOTE: Paige Joanna

When I heard Paige Joanna was creating a zine, I was overjoyed! She is one of my favorite style bloggers who is also a remarkable artist; I have been lucky enough to get to know her as a person - and she has become a very dear friend to me.

So recently when I received the tote bag I had purchased from her and realized she had included not one but two of her zines - I was left a bit speechless!

Not only is Buttercup *very* professionally put together (couldn't get over how sleek & beautifully made it was!), but the contents are divine! Filled with poetry and illustrations by Paige, it was a delight to flip through - highlights were definitely Paige's introduction, spotting Megan and Stephanie, and the adorable paper doll!

I'm rather smitten with my tote as well! I decided to pair it with this daisy dress I bought from Milk Teeths Vintage (which is run by the lovely Ashley and is currently having a sale!), my new houndstooth tights that I adore, and more DIYed ruffle socks! ♡

Thank you so much again Paige - you are incredible! ♡♡♡ Do you have any zines you would like to recommend?! I absolutely adore them! ♡

Meowmaid

Tuesday, May 14, 2013


DRESS: Newman Hall @ Etsy PIN: c/o The Albino Hare BOW: c/o Crown and Glory
SOCKS: Forever 21 SHOES: c/o B.A.I.T. Footwear PURSE: A gift from Marlena

Do you ever want to cry because something is so perfect and adorable that it seems like it was made just for you in mind? That's how I felt when doing a random etsy search I discovered this Meowmaid pin from artist Lee Anna, the lovely lady in charge of The Albino Hare!

This little guy swam his way to me in a beautiful parcel with another pin and adorable stationary, and is now one of my dearest treasures - thanks to Lee Anna's incredible talent and generosity! Over the course of the past few months I have also discovered she is an absolutely lovely person, and I feel very thankful to have "met" her! ♡ (Oh and by the way, there are only two meowmaids in her shop, one green and one pink, so you'd better take a look before they are gone...!)

These pictures were taken at a park I stumbled upon yesterday! Couldn't believe all the gorgeous flowers - spring is definitely in bloom! I was sad to see some children trying to poke and pick up the geese and ducks trying to go about their business near the water however...! >.>

And speaking of animals, I am officially the new foster parent for four 3 month old kittens! They are positively precious, but are still rather afraid of me, which breaks my heart a little bit (I'm one of those people who wants all cats and dogs to immediately love me); but I'm determined to help them learn to love humans so they can get adopted! ;3

If you have any advice for helping shy kitties, I'd love to hear them!

Lots of love and remember - you are important! ♡
