I'm still here...

 I love this photo of Chris, and I love him and how supportive he's been.

I feel like these last few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind. I have so much going on right now that I'm struggling to keep up with everything. A lot of the people I'm closest to are going through some really tough stuff (some are sick, some are splitting up, some have had their lives turned upside down...). I'm trying my hardest to keep things together well enough to support everyone who needs it, and it's tough, guys. I'm starting to feel a little more in control now, so I think I can get back into my usual swing of things :) I have a lovely guest post from a sweet friend coming soon, and hopefully a cool tutorial by the end of the week! Right now, I'm off to bed (after I finish this episode of Bones... I'm obsessed!). Goodnight lovelies.

Lemon, lace, and lilac.

Dress: Vintage

Cardigan: Modcloth (probably three years ago)

Tights: Target

Shoes: Sangos c/o Blowfish

Okay, so the title doesn't totally work with this outfit, but I like alliteration, so I went with lilac even though my sweater has a rose print. I got this dress from a local antique mall for $6 last year, and this is the first time I've worn it. I just CAN'T do high or tight necks like that, I freak out a little bit. But I toughed it out for this outfit because I felt super adorable in it. Also, can we just talk about these shoes? When it comes time to pick out a pair of shoes from my lovely sponsor Blowfish, I have a hard time tearing my eyes away from the pretty heels and wedges, but I decided I need an 'everyday' pair, so I went with the Sangos (I had such a hard time deciding on the print, but neutral will work with more outfits). So so so glad I got these, I've worn them everyday since I they arrived! They're super comfy too :)

Today I got up way early (for me), went to breakfast with Chris's dad and stepmom, and came home to clean a little and get started on a super fun adorable radtastic project :) Really I'm just making tags for my headbands, but I'm super proud of them and I might have to put them on everything I own. I've also been watching my new favorite show, Bones, while I work, so today has been extra awesome so far. Bummer I have to work tonight! Annnyway, I'm off so I can get back to work!! 

I hope you're enjoying your day!

New in my Shop: Animal Ear Headbands!

I think these might be the cutest things I've ever made (other than teeny tiny baby booties, because teeny tiny anything is obviously the cutest!). They're up for sale in my shop now! Happy shopping!

Minty winter.

Dress: Vintage (from Tip Top Atomic Shop Vintage in Milwaukee

Turban: Thrifted vintage scarf

Belt: Thrifted (originally from Target)

Lipstick: Revlon Super Lusturous in Rosewine

I got a remote for my new camera a few days ago and I seriously couldn't wait to put it to use. Having a remote and tripod for my dslr is amazing, I can take my own photos without having to bug Chris, and I'm much more comfortable taking photos alone than with an audience (even if it is just Chris). Also, SHOCKING, I'm wearing another minty green-aquamarine dress! I think 50% of my closet is some form of this color. Oh well, if it ain't broke... :)

Today is such a gorgeous day, it's still chilly but the snow is starting to melt and the sun is out in full force. The fullest of forces, it was painfully bright when I was taking these pics! I'm spending most of this beautiful day inside, though, since Chris is at work and I need to do a bunch of stuff around the house. Plus, I have so much stuff to crochet, something exciting has just come up and I should really start getting ready! [I'll share more when I know more, it's a verrrrrry new idea!]. My nephew Emerson is six months old as of yesterday, and my sister has plans to have a little photoshoot for him. I'm making some sweet little bowties and a crocheted hat for him to wear, and I'm almost done, they just need finishing touches! Plus, I have some cute stuff to list in the shop today, I'll post an update when that happens (and you'll really wanna check it out, it's unBEARably cute!). 

Have a fantastic wonderful super rad day, dudes!

The weather here lately has been so terrible, if it's not snowing it's gray and gloomy. I haven't been in the mood to wear dresses too much lately, to be honest I consider it a win if I can even get proper pants on (before I go into work). I picked up this dress the other day and it was so cheerful that I had to wear it as soon as I could!

The only problem is that the gray skies make for terrible pictures, so I played around in Photoshop to see if I could get them to look any better. I was going for an over-saturated and fuzzy 70s feel. I wish I knew how to use Photoshop better, I have a few little editing tricks I use sometimes, but I would love to know more. I also wish the sun would come out soon, then I wouldn't need Photoshop :)

Do you have any photo-editing tricks up your sleeve?
