Are you interested in astrology? Do you like reading your horoscope or about your birth sign and getting little bits about what’s in store for you? I know I’m like that. I now almost everything there is to know about a Pisces and still I don’t think I’m anything like one haha! that’s because I’m actually on the cusp of Pisces and Aquarius and in reality we all have aspects of some. Don’t you think? What’s your sign?

I was looking through Etsy and came across Julie Nolan from Brooklyn and was intrigued. I’ve chosen all Pisces pieces above. Anyway, check her stuff out – they’re great. I love the concepts and this necklace.

finds [winter boots]

Tuesday, January 18, 2011 No Comments

This is not a usual post but since I am such a fan of casual wear, converse sneakers to be exact, that I needed to mention my find when looking for some fashionable winter shoes. I was never able to find a waterproof AND fashionable (in my sense of fashionable) pair of boots until I came across these Keen boots. The best ever!! Only $150. I am not a fan of those rain boots that everyone is wearing. These boots were comfortable the minute I put them on and I trek around in the snow without any care. They don’t look like snow boots so when it’s not snowing, they still look great and you don’t look stupid! So if you are in need of a new pair definitely try these out!

color fun [yellow]

I present to you, a new series I will attempt every Thursday in regards to color. The color choices will be made alongside my mood at the moment …

Unlike most, I do enjoy the winter and snow but after the snowfall we’ve had I’m ready for some warm weather and sunshine. The greyness is a real drag. haha and it’s only the middle of winter … we have such a long way to go. Besides the warmth of yellow, did you know that the color denotes happiness and joy but also of cowardice and deceit? In light of a new year, it shall symbolize renewal.

Some fun items for your home:
+ Big Blossoms Pillow (MiCasaBella)
+ Room Essentials Stick Lamp (Target)
+ Seed Stitch Quilt (Urban Outfitters)
+ Atelier Chesterfield (Anthropologie)
+ Le Creuset Bowls (Bed Bath and Beyond)
+ Grapefruit Pop Candle (Jonathan Adler)

Been mia again here on this good ol’ blog. Life and all the good & bad things that come along with it just consumed me. It swallowed me whole and finely regurgitated me back into somewhat of a routine. I hope everyone had a glorious 4th and is surviving this sweltering heat wave (haha aka summer) … sometimes I can see the craziness in some peoples eyes when the day is at its hottest.

So back to my unusual Wednesday post … I am including a photographer (the first here) and her name is Amy Amanda Braughler. Definitely check out her work here. She’s been working on a 365 day project, taking a photo every single day – even when she isn’t in the mood … even when she doesn’t have time … she still makes it happen.

These are just two from an entire collection of wonderfully captured moments.

Some really cool vintage finds at DK General Store. Check out the selection over in their Etsy shop. Above are just only a few of my favorites, there are many more. I remember using those old fashioned skates as a kid – you know, the ones that just fit over your shoes. They were silly looking but super fun.

Found these browsing Etsy this morning. They’re handmade keep it all together organizers by Launch Pads. You can even get a matching passport holder. Pretty cool eh?

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far! It’s been pretty hot so keep cool – see you back here sometime this week. Ideas for a new website design for Jengs Shop is working it’s way to reality! Yes again … I’m so indecisive!
