Thing of the Week (er Month) slash Etsy shop of the week/month

I would love to say that this is the Etsy shop of the week in my charmingly maintained website that is just full of daily advice but it's more like my lone post of the month or season or something like that. Posting gets light when I sulk into a state of no cleaning and no makeup and wearing the same jeans for an indeterminate amount of time. I'm not sulking, because on the outside no one would ever be able to tell that anything has changed because I go to work and all my projects are thriving and really I have maintained a silliness in the day light. But in the night, I wallow in my own way. I don't clean and I let the mess take over. But slowly I decide to the dishes must either be thrown away and replaced or washed. And I pick up the floor. And then before I know it I am just window shopping my way around the etsy mall and I can't help myself. I think a shop is so on trend and so perfect for this season, right now in this year, that it must be posted about! And then I get all excited and I think, I really should post about more etsy shops. And I could call it "the etsy shop of the week". But I know I can't commit to that. I can't even commit to clean jeans. Whatever.

ocean sapphire array bracelet

gold dot earrings

galaxy bar necklace

 So beyond the amazingness that is the Array bracelets (which beg to all be purchased and stacked and worn in sunshine to be glittery and sparkling and wonderful) I would pick up several of their pieces for everyday basics. The tiny gold studs are making an appearance this season, as is anything that is sort of galaxy themed.

Finals week

And green pants!!

So one of my friends in California was all like "ooh I need green pants" and we were in Anthroplogie and I was like, "I'm not cool enough for green pants" but this photo is totally perfect. Green pants, done right.

Girly things

This winter (its really more like fall in New Mexico, I mean, it's like 70 outside) I'm in love with these braids. I haven't braided my hair this much since grade school. And I love the artificial blond weaves in these shots. I'm bringing blond back to brunettes. It's just enough blond pieces: either in the front or down a braid. Lovely love.

Adele for 007

The intro for this bond movie was fantastic. I wish I could post it here but this will have to do. Go see the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about. This song is brilliant with the intro sequence.

007 Skyfall WAS AMAZING

We saw the new 007 movie this weekend and Skyfall has restored my faith in Daniel Craig. I came home and started looking for awesome movie posters. I found these minimalist Skyfall posters and am in love. I think the profile of Bond's face is the best.

PS
The intro by Adele was phenomenal.

Texts from your Dog

Yeah. Good luck getting anything done for the rest of the day. I'll just give you the link now, you wont want to wait until the end of the blog post.

Damn, it's good to be a cat

My hipster friends are set. I keep finding the coolest shit for cats! Where is all the hipster-record-player-awesome shit for dogs. I'm working on it.

PS
-At first glance I thought the border of the record was like diamond bling and then I saw that it was paw prints and I was pretty disappointed. 


DJ Scratching Table ($42) - This is the gift that makes you the coolest.

Wes Anderson does Star Wars

What if Wes Anderson had done Star Wars? I know you've been wondering.

Aviation in love

This summer on a trip to Venice Beach, we stayed in a hotel that had sunglasses as part of the mini-bar selection. I went home with my first pair of aviators and am obsessed with the style ever since. I love the turquoise summery color of this pair from the Etsy shop Sunnyspex.
