Ice Cream makes everything better.

Hey.  I would've posted this yesterday but I felt so sick.  I have a sore throat, which besides the loss of my voice and burning in my throat, is the best type of sick to be, in my opinion.  It gives me an excuse to eat ice cream all day.  Other than that, I was pretty bored.

My boredom led to the creation of my own youtube channel, which I will most likely never use again, considering the time it takes up.  Like I'm not busy enough already.  BUT...if you want to see the one video I've uploaded,  Click right here.  You'll probably be bored with it unless you're interested in learning how to crochet, Hehe.

So, tomorrow is not only St.Patrick's Day, but it's my mom's birthday, her 40th, nonetheless.  And....I haven't gotten her a gift yet D:  As a last minute thing, I made her a bookmark, this morning.  It will buy me some time to get her something before this weekend when we have her party!

I raided my mom's jewelry box the other day and I found some interesting vintage pieces. (Sorry the lighting in these photos isn't very good.)

^These are my favorite (:

I was really upset when I realized this ring didn't fit me.

I love these earrings.  They aren't vintage though.  My mom has only had them for a couple years and she wears them to weddings.

I feel like I had something else to say... but I can't remember, which isn't really surprising.  Haha (:

What a Life

Hi, bloggers.  So, tonight's pretty boring, considering I'm sitting at home.  It's not too depressing though because I just purchased this vintage blazer, on Etsy.  It's from one of my favorite  shops on there, Billie Goat Vintage.   Can you believe this was only $33?  Most blazers I find, vintage or not, are no less than $50.

This is my fourth post in about two days.  Pretty crazy, I know.  I actually don't like posting so much at one time because its just too much to handle, but I've made quite a few discoveries this weekend.  Speaking of discoveries..Is this bedazzled bra not the funniest article of clothing you've ever seen?

This is definitely not something I plan on adding to my wardrobe any time soon.  Apparently its lingerie and it sells for $53 on SenseofFashion.com.  It's a bit freaky for my taste, even if I had a reason to wear lingerie.

Anyways, I'm going shopping in the city tomorrow, which should be fun.  I want to visit the F.I.T Style Shop, that sells the students' work.  I'm going with my friend Tiffany, since her boyfriend has a hockey game so she won't be seeing him on Valentine's Day.  (She's cooking for him tonight.   So cute!)  If we get home early enough, I want to go see the movie Valentine's Day.  It looks adorable.  Our friend Jamie will probably come with us.  I'm happy I'm going out instead of being home. On Valentine's Day. Thinking about how I don't have a Valentine.  Hehe.

So, that's enough for tonight.  Expect some photos tomorrow, possibly? ;)

Etsy

Ohmygosh, I found this vintage sweater on Etsy the day after Christmas and I've wanted it so badly since then!  Unfortunately, I spent all of my money on Christmas gifts and I don't have much time this year to get a job D:  Surprisingly, no one has bought it yet.  If someone does end up buying it before I get the money for it, I was wondering if I could just personalize a sweater myself to look like this.  I could most likely find a simple sweater and maybe sew some sequins and tiny embellishments onto it?  I'll have to ask Linda, my sewing teacher ;)  If it's possible, this will be my next project.  

Speaking of Etsy, tonight, during Desperate Housewives(one of my favorite shows), I'm going to finish sewing my appliques onto the collection of scarves I've finished.  Then, I can open a store on Etsy. :D  If people like them and buy them, maybe I won't have to personalize a sweater...but I kind of like the idea of doing it myself now.  Anyways, this is one scarf I have finished.  I've made three small flower appliques and added them to the bottom.
