Weekend Links!

Sorry I didn’t post yesterday! I was really busy, honest! Here are some cool links for you, though.

Chai tea s’mores!? Someone come make these for me, please!

Genetic portraits. This artist takes family members’ portraits and merges them together to show resemblance. Weird, yet interesting!

Cute DIY headband!

Quick and easy dinners…the only one I’ve tried is the hummus and zucchini flatbread, but it was yummy!

Learning to (or want to learn) to use a DSLR camera like me? This website may help. Very cool.

It’s a sloth! This etsy shop has adorable stuff.

Test your senses!

Who cares if you don’t like Belle and Sebastian…the video is cool…and a bit trippy.

Shades of Blue

Wanna see how I’ve styled this shirt differently? Click here! I’ve never really thought of wearing this shirt under something before, but this morning, I wanted to wear this sweater because it’s comfy and warm (and it’s cold outside), but I didn’t want to wear the same ol’ black tee under it. I found this shirt in the back of my closet and thought it would be interesting.

Enjoy! …

Love this necklace!

A plethora of blogs to check out, cool artists, pretty desktop wallpapers, diy projects, inspiration, and, of course, a little self promotion and marketing thrown in.

An absolutely adorable cut-out “calendar of the month” series. I printed and assembled the chicken coop!

I have an obsession with scalloped edges.

Very cool recipe site. The pictures make me hungry!

Lastly, have you seen this cows love jazz video? haha!

Thoughts on Laziness

It’s weird that I’m not used to looking at pictures of myself without makeup (like this one). I don’t mind the way I look without makeup at all. I think for me, putting makeup on is more of a way of waking myself up. When I don’t take the time to do that simple task, I just feel like going back to bed. Odd psychology, but it works the same as sweatpants…if I go around all day in sweatpants, I just feel like being lazy.

This is what I wore Sunday.

I Can Knit!

See that fabulous circle scarf? I MADE that this weekend. I’m quite proud of myself. I tried knitting once when I was younger but I didn’t get very far because I wasn’t patient. Now I’m taking a fiber arts class, so I relearned and I enjoy it now. It’s kind of meditative. I’ve also learned crocheting, and today I made a pretty awesome hyperbolic structure (I’m in a group for a project and we are making a knitted and crocheted installment to go in the art building).





sweater: secondhand J. Crew; cardigan: Old Navy; skirt: secondhand J. Crew; boots: secondhand b.o.c.; tights: Anthropologie (sale!) earrings: secondhand; scarf: made by ME!

On a random note, last week I had this urge (for about three days!) to grow my hair back out again. I’ve never had that urge last that long before…it was weird because I really do love my hair short (though it’s getting too long right now). I think this picture is one of few pictures that makes me miss my hair (Me [left]? With long hair? yeeaaah!). Maybe I’m misinterpreting my nostalgia. Maybe it’s London (where this pic is taken) that I miss.

Outfit Love

If I had to choose one outfit so far on this blog to rewear, it would be this one. Actually, I’m SURE I’ll wear this again. I don’t rewear the same combos often, partially because of this blog and partially because I like experimenting, but I have to make exceptions for outfits I love, like this one. I almost didn’t try this skirt on because it’s two sizes bigger than my usual size. I tried it on anyway and I’m SO glad I did because I love it. I also almost didn’t buy this top because I own so many striped grey shirts, but also glad for this choice. Ever since I saw this outfit (my inspiration) on Pinterest, I’ve wanted a pleated grey skirt. Patience pays off :)

Have you watched this short TED talk yet? If you’ve read my Q&A, then you may have.

I discovered a new blogger! Kelley of Threads and Buttons wears more thrifted items than the average style blogger. Yay for her!

Make life easier.

These “cinemagraphs” are really cool. They remind me of Harry Potter. ha.

My friend shared this video about iPhone apps with me. hahaha.

Lazy Holiday

No classes today! Woohoo! It’s a good thing I have lots of outfit pictures already, because I’m wearing lounge pants and a sweatshirt today. And feeling really guilty for doing nothing productive. WHY?!
