Vintage and Green
wedI got this dress over the summer during one of my visits to SoWa Market and Haberdash Vintage. I’ve been waiting patiently, for months, for the weather to cool down so I could wear it. And now I can and I could squeal! It’s one of the most perfect vintage pieces I’ve owned to date. I think I’m in love.

It is friday, my friends! Any plans?
Boo and I are starting our holiday week early, with a trip home to Buffalo ( and a mini trip to Cleveland!). I’m ready for turkey and stuffing, Tim Horton’s coffee, and kitty snuggles. Well, maybe the kitty snuggles. Kiki isn’t always the cuddling type…. until I force her to be.
Happy weekend!

DIY Hair Arrows
Supplies:
-thin wooden dowels, cut to aprox 9 - 9 1/2 inches long
-pencil sharpener
-silver paint or marker
-washi tape
-feathers
-glue
1. Use a pencil sharpener to shape the “tips” of your arrows. Don’t go all the way and make it too pointy! We don’t want it to be sharp and dangerous.
2. Use your silver paint or marker to paint the tips.
3. The fun part - decorating your arrows! You can just as easily paint the sticks, but I chose to wrap mine in wash tape.
4. Take your feathers, and cut along one side of the center part (if that makes sense). Cut as close to the middle as possible, without nipping that center part. This will ruin one side of the feather, but allow you to use the other side. Cut extras, just in case!
4. Ok, so this part proved trickier than I thought. Glueing the feathers to the stick. At first, I was just using a mode podge like glue - which was kind of holding the feathers, but not that well. I eventually ended up using super glue to fully secure them, after using the mode podge first to get them in place. And I did 3 feathers per stick, but you could just do 2, if you’d like.
That’s it! Pull up your hair into a messy bun, and stick your arrows in there!

Lavender Brown
I’ve recently become crazy obsessed with anything lavender/lilac/light purple in color. It’s funny - when I was younger, I wouldn’t have hesitated to tell you that my favorite color was purple. But I think I may have loved it too much as a kid, because I spent most of my college and adult life avoiding it. It’s like hot dogs. I ate a lot of hot dogs as a kid. A lot. Especially cut up hot dogs in mac and cheese- that was my jam. But I can’t go near the things now without gagging a little.
Ok, maybe that was a bad comparison. But you get the point.
P.S - Have you entered the Seams To Be giveaway yet? Hurry! It is ending soon!
