I've been busy on Polyvore this afternoon! I love playing with colors.  This particular set was inspired by the three pieces of jewelry pictured.  All come from the same handmade jewelry shop.

ChelseaGirlDesigns



The owner of the online boutique, Julie, uses many mediums to get an almost bohemian rustic feel in her pieces. Gemstones, mixed metals, colors, vintage beads, charms, and tons of textures.
These darker pieces would be great on top of white and peach. All very affordable too! 
(ok, all except maybe that clutch I included in the mix. We can dream though.)

Perfect for a punch of texture and color on top of any outfit.

Butterflies

I haven't added a new post in in about a month. (yeah, yikes! We'll try not to dwell on that though) 

This is the first I've seen of the new blogger layout and it sure is different! 

I hope I'll get used to it pretty quickly. 

If you have your own blogger, do you feel it's easier and an improvement compared to the old layout? 

On another note, there has been an overload of butterflies in town. 

Friday was the worst. Well, I shouldn't say 'worst', after all, they are butterflies! Drive down any road and your windshield and bug guard end up coated in bug guts and butterfly wings. They're all starting to disappear again now except one particular type that I've seen. Going up the walkway to my house today the bushes were so full of them, it looked like the bush itself was moving! 

Very neat. I managed to grab a photo. 

There were easily 100+ butterflies all around me.

wearydrearies

I've had an interest in handmade fashion for awhile now. How did it start?

For me, a few years ago I was searching Ebay for something. I'm not sure what I was searching for.

I came across a few shops. One of which was Wearydrearies. 

She had randomness in her shop. Little quotes that made little sense, but somehow fit perfectly. Something along the lines of "she enjoys crushing aluminum cans", as an example.

I looked at the items in her shop, and instantly fell in love. At that time, I'd  never spent more then 25 bucks on a single clothing item, so I couldn't dream of spending the money on one. But she was added to my favorites list as I wished over and over I could own something, but what would I even wear it for? 

Somewhere along the way... wearydrearies moved to Etsy. I'm not sure when it happened. I was just browsing some blogs (maybe it was livejournal?) one day and went "um. wow. that style looks vaguely familiar".

The link brought me to Etsy. I'd heard of it, but never visited. After finding her shop, I spent some time browsing her sold items, and bookmarked the page. I had to come back.

Shortly after, I set up an account. I loved to fiddle around with jewelry, and this place seemed like the perfect place to sell it. I got set up, and quickly began hearting all these shops I fell in love with.

Thats when I remembered her shop.

I added it to my list of "hearts" and have come back every now and again to check it out.

Every time I have the money together to think about buying something like this, something pops up and I need to spend it elsewhere. Still, to this day I haven't payed over $50 for a single item of clothing. Once i'm able to do it? This will be it. Something in her shop.

It's staying on my wishlist.
