Tuesday Treasures #3

So I have been doing WAY too much spending lately on account of my upcoming trip to Croatia and Venice, Italy. I still have a few dresses with the tags on, and I'm seriously contemplating returning them because I am feeling some buyer's remorse. Hopefully I can get over it, because I really like them! 

Most of my treasures today are actually things that I've purchased for the trip. Enjoy!

This journal from Target, by Carolina Pad. (I couldn't find it on Target's website). I have gazed upon so many cute travel journals, but I couldn't beat this cute print for $6! I'm excited to record every moment of the vacation!

these sandals from h&m. i don't see them on the website anymore, but that's where i snatched this photo from the other day. wonder if that means they are all gone! i love the print and they are really comfy. i just have to be careful where i wear them so i don't get the fabric all dirty!

this dress from kohl's by elle! i call it my garden party dress. i wore it in this post. i love the fit and style, so, like, mad men. i don't really know, i've actually yet to watch that show! 

black and white film! it really turns out so beautiful using actual black and white film as opposed to just editing your photos afterwards. sometimes i don't load my film 100% correctly and only get like three shots on a roll, so i'm crossing my fingers now that luck is on my side this time!

oooooh! there is a fox in this mug! i love foxes now, so my collection needs to start somewhere! unfortunately i can't really justify the price of this one. like i mentioned last week, i love just about everything that modcloth has to offer in the kitchen department. i will probably just end up showing every single thing. ugh, want!

lastly, this is just amazing. i found it circulating on pinterest. turns out it was made by a talented etsy-ist, who else?. i wonder who owns this! for $250, i wish it could be me. i bet whoever this person is has the best dreams. check out this shop, they have some really cool things! people are so creative.

happy tuesday! what finds did you grab this week?

Tuesday Treasures #2

brought to you by me window shopping on the internet:

this pillow from etsy! representing the great lakes. i love how simple it is, but it has such meaning for michiganders!

this journal from anthropologie is so neat! i have been oogling over journals lately since i have been searching for a travel journal. somehow i keep finding regular journals that i do not need but really really want!

speaking of travel, you've heard that quote from j.r.r. tolkien, "not all those who wander are lost" i assume? this etsy seller will personalize a luggage tag with your name on it. i love this!

i almost bought these coasters from a store near me called art of the table, but they are also available at modcloth. so fun! i am really loving all of the kitchen stuff that modcloth has, so i will save some to show for future tuesdays. i dream of having an amazing kitchen, someday!

i bought this dress the other day when i stopped at an h&m. i love the color! i have been spending way too much money lately on "dresses for croatia" which has turned into a lot of other things i didn't really need as well. oh well, i could die tomorrow but i will look great in this dress today!

finally, i already have an obama sweatshirt, but with 90 degree days (like the other day), i could really use this v-neck! 4 more years!

what goodies have you been eyeing lately?

p.s. the winner of the kurt vonnegut giveaway is colleen! congratulations, colleen! i need your mailing info so your print can be sent!

Tuesday Treasures #1

treasures i absolutely love and need! buy them for me? here they are:

this shirt from etsy to show my michigan pride.

i always knew i liked kate spade's bags as opposed to other designer bags, but i have a new unhealthy obsession with her stuff, since i can barely afford a deck of her playing cards. she is amazing. i want it all.

this journal from chronicle books. they seriously have the cutest things ever. and it's all quite affordable. i looked at some of these when i was in schuler books the other day and even the pages on the inside are filled with pretty details. want!

this pretty dress from lovenell. i don't usually wear white, but i wantttt this! (i found lovenell through cakies giveaway).

this colorful, geometric locket from etsy. she has a lot of great stuff! 

this glow-in-the-dark pineapple dress from urban outfitters! so fun.

these minty shoes from b.a.i.t. footwear that make me want to attend a hoe down. (i found out about b.a.i.t. through the dainty squid giveaway).
