Mirror, mirror on the wall, whose is the fairest sweater of them all? MINE.

Hello all! How are you feeling today?

I'm feeling sleepy. And since I'm "recovering" from a minor surgical operation I had earlier today, I'm going to let myself give into my lethargy. But before I enter my vegetative state of rest, I wanted to share a beautiful, beautiful sweater I bought yesterday.
Let me first express how much I ADORE this sweater. It. Is. Incredible. It's a vintage beaded, embroidered and sequin covered cardigan and guess how much I got it for?? $17!! Now I know, if you're a real hardcore thrift-shopper you might not think this sounds like such a deal. But let me tell you, the person who first bought this new probably paid several hundred dollars. Yeeah.
It's really just... fantastic. And lucky for you, I did a quick photo shoot! With just myself, too. It was very difficult. I was able to dig out our nice tripod but I couldn't find my automatic lens so I had to do a lot of back and forth to position and focus everything correctly. SO YOU BETTER APPRECIATE THESE PHOTOS. Please? :P

Here ya go:

And as an extra bonus, these are some of my favorite sandals that I happened to be wearing:

So, do you agree? Is that not a beautiful, beautiful sweater? I wore it out today and I actually got SO many compliments. Glad to see the world has great taste. Okay, well I'm going to go lay around and recover from my exhausting photo shoot. ;) Pozegnanie!

Ferb and Humphrey

All my life I've been obsessed with stuffed animals. I just can't help it. Their furry little faces... Their squishy little tummies... It's sick really. I am a stuffed animal HOARDER. And even now, when I find a cute stuffed animal, I have to buy it. Go ahead: laugh at me. No, really, I understand. I laugh at myself sometimes. (My mother thinks I'm insane.)
BUT, if you happen to share my weakness, please enjoy the following post. I would like to introduce you to two of my most recent and beloved fuzzy friends.
You might not know this about me, but for the past few months I have been obsessed with The Black Keys' dinosaur mascot. Welllllll, I FINALLY GOT MY VERY OWN FUNKOSAURUS! And he's absolutely beautiful!
Meanwhile, I also got the cutest little rhinoceros the other day on a lovely trip to the zoo with my beloved Polethene Pam. And he is... so cute. SO cute. I love him. No, you don't get it. I LOVE him. <3

My two new little buddies, the dinosaur and the rhino, are called Ferb and Humphrey, respectively. And you know what? They're really getting along! Yep, they're sort of BFFs now. It's very sweet.

And now I have photographed them! Please enjoy all the sickening cuteness:

Humphrey :)

Ferb the Funkosaurus. 

Cousin of Frank. Yeah, that's right. His cousin is in The Black Keys.

Ferb and Humphrey goofing off. Silly fuzz balls. Although I suppose Ferb really has scales, doesn't he? təˈmeɪtoʊ, təˈmɑːtoʊ

That's all, folks!

An exploration into the hipstamatic.

I don't know if you've ever tried it, but do you know that artsy camera app they make for the iPhone? The one that's called "Hipstamatic"? It basically makes the camera on your phone act like an old analog camera. You can mix and match different parts and it's really very cute.
As someone who adores film photography, I think the app is a very fun way to take photos when all you've got is your sad little camera phone...

So without further adoooo, here are some pictures I took with the app on a beautiful trip to the beach:

THIS IS MY DINOSAUR, FERB!!! (He'll get his own post later.)

 Why build sandcastles when you can build naked mermaids??

My gorgeous bike! :D

Mmmm, sparkly nails.

I'M BACK!!!

Just so you know I haven't forgotten you, my beautiful blog. I have to say, you are one of my favorite things. You're like my little private therapist who I pour all my problems and insignificant chit chat into! Thanks for that. Oh and thank you to anybody who reads it as well. :) I'm still on semi-hiatus, but I just thought I'd pop in and share some photos. Though it is nice to take a break, I feel really weird not having blogged for a whole... oh wow, it's only been a week!

So here are some pictures of various things that have been going on in my life...

SPRING BREAK! Admittedly, it was not very spring-ish.

My brother gave me this note with a bowl of flowers. <3

Lately I've been doing a lot of jewelry making:

It was also my dad's birthday recently! Yay! Another step towards death.

That's all for now! I have to go throw water in my little brother's face. Bye!!
