Tuesday Treasures #12

This Tuesday, I wanted to focus on a few housewares that I would love to have adorning my home. I have this issue though where I am inspired by so many different styles that things can get a little crazy. I guess it's not that bad of a problem to have, as long as I don't look like a hoarder, right? Anyway, take a look!

Oh, please, someone get me these hedgehog measuring cups from Anthropologie.

These champagne flutes from Crate and Barrel have been on my want list for a long time now. I saw them (or a verrrry realistic imposter) on Gossip Girl a few years back and thought they looked so classy! Love!

This sushi pillow from DCI has my mouth watering!

This gorgeous heart cutting board from WoodInk was featured on the front page of Etsy. So pretty!

Lastly, this is more furniture than housewares but I pretty much need this owl side table from Urban Outfitters! So awesome! 

Happy Fat Tuesday! Are you going to indulge? I'm no fun and stay away from that stuff!

Tuesday Treasures #11

Just a jumble of neat things I am loving this week! Enjoy: )

This is somewhere in Istanbul, Turkey, where we are seriously considering visiting in late summer. Does anyone know what this gorgeous place is? (via Tumblr)

And if we go, I could use this sleeping mask from Flight 001. I also like this Sleeping with Strangers one!

Omg! Catalope leggings via barkdecor on Etsy.

This Bear Claw recipe from Sprinkle Bakes looks divine. Her directions are so great, I might actually be able to make them!

I really like this colorblock shirt from J. Crew!

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Danny Brito Chubby Book that I won from Lazy Explorers! 

Happy Tuesday!

Tuesday Treasures #10 // Brooches

Kaylah over at The Dainty Squid sure makes brooches look like a must-have fashion accessory! She definitely wears them well and creates an urge inside of me to buy lots. I went a little favorite-crazy on etsy the other day and found a bunch of awesome ones. Oddly enough, only one or two of the sellers were from the U.S. I guess brooches haven't really migrated to the states yet! It makes sense; Sophie over at Oh My Clumsy Heart shipped my lovely fox brooch from across the pond. Thank you, England. This reinforces my wish that I was British! Here are some of my favorites:

This pi brooch from GeekModish is perfect for math lovers!

This deer brooch by ennashop in Germany is so darling!

Hello! From Delilah devine in Australia. So friendly!

Aw, I love this sleeping fox from goldenspleen, also in Germany.

SketchInc in the UK has some of the neatest brooches I've ever laid eyes on!

NewellsJewels also in the UK makes these gorgeous Russian doll pieces.

laylaamber in the UK makes one heck of an owl!

And Elizabeth Pawle makes the sweetest little kitty cat asleepin'. 

Sweet dreams!

Tuesday Treasures #9

It's that time of year! Over the weekend I worked on gathering my family's Christmas lists, but I also had to figure out some things that I want! Since no one can afford the new MacBook I desperately need, I've come up with some alternative ideas. 

I am loving this camera bag from Jo Totes, it's so gorgeous! Who would have thought camera bags could be such a nice accessory? And for just over $100, it's not too expensive. Crossing my fingers that I get this come Christmas morning!

What could be better than this shirt sporting a classic quote from a classic movie, Home Alone? PebbyForevee on Etsy makes it happen! If you weren't aware, Home Alone is my most FAVORITE movie!

 

I love TV on DVD, but Andrew thinks DVDs are pointless. They kind of are, but there's something so great about popping in a DVD of Sex and the City every once in a while! At the top of my list this Christmas would be "My So-Called Life." I was a little young when the show aired, and the time I tried the rent it from the library it was all scratched up! Since I love Claire Danes and her name is Angela in the show, I've always wanted to see that one beautiful season in its entirety: )

Can't do a list without a little Kate Spade, I just can't help it. These Locked in Studs match a bangle I have and I'm crossing my fingers I score these under the tree!

Finally, I live in Michigan so I need some updated winter gear. I've been keeping my eye out for some Oxford boots, and these ones from Zara and kind of what I'm looking for. I also need a new coat! I'm thinking just a knee-length puffy black one like this one from J. Crew factory. Mmm, warmth.

What's on your list this year? I know this post seems awfully greedy, I also think it's important to give to those in need this season! I'll do a post about that soon: ) Happy almost hump day!

Tuesday Treasures #8

This Tuesday is the first Tuesday I have ever owned an iPhone! It's about time! It's a big commitment for me because I'm on my own plan and it's definitely an investment in my future (aka two year contract future). Anyway, this Tuesday night I'm going to share some iPhone accessories I'm coveting. Please let me know what apps and gadgets you've found most useful for your iPhone! I'd love to hear!

Kate Spade, who I am obsessed with, makes this perfect case for me because I always knock on wood! 

This Holga Lens attachment available at Urban Outfitters is so fun!

Just awww. From SunSupplies on Etsy.

When I told Andrew I was doing this post, he asked me to do a sloth post instead. Luckily, you can find just about anything on the internet. (Via sharpshirter on Etsy)

Wow, so pretty! I've never seen a replace home button until this gorgeous Swarovski one (via The Fancy).

This is super gorgeous as well! Oh, I just can't make a decision here! 

Hope you're all enjoying your Tuesday night! I really do want your suggestions on iPhone accessories and apps! Help a sista out!

Tuesday Treasures #7

I wanted to share some great Etsy finds in one of my most favorite shades - mustard yellow! Such a gorgeous color, it just speaks to me! 

I love Fletcher Fox by Sleepy King. All these little guys in her shop have the BEST facial expressions! I love them.

I could definitely find some use for this beautiful mustard infinity scarf from moonsun, especially with this insane Michigan hurricane weather! I just want to stay warm, dry, and comfy!

My boyfriend loves to sport bowties and I think this one is top-notch!  Fox and Brie makes the niftiest ties and handkerchiefs. Style up your boyfriend!

I love this giant bag from Cozibag! I carry so much stuff that no bag is really big enough, but this one seems like it might do the trick.

Isn't this snail pillow from LauraFrisk adorable? I think it would look great on the vintage chair we have in our living room. 

So many great things on Etsy! What is your favorite color to wear or decorate with? Also, if Hurricane Sandy has affected you, I hope you and yours are safe and well. It even affected us here in Michigan, what a wild storm! Goodnight!

Tuesday Treasures #6 // Furniture

Since we'll be moving soon (just across town), I've had furniture on the mind! We still need a table for our white chairs and a couch! Anyway, I'm just daydreaming of owning these items:

I could totally go for this Emu Retrouve High Back Chair by Coalesse. Which color scheme would you go with? (Assuming we all have $1099 for this baby).

Loving this USA coffee table from Urban Outfitters!

Yes, please. From Anthropologie.

And a pretty sofa from Urban Outfitters as well. I tried to include more brands, but they just have super cute things!

I will leave you with this parting image:

Sweet dreams!

Tuesday Treasures #5

It's been a while since I shared my Tuesday Treasures! Have you guys been in a Target lately? They have all this cool new stuff and I have so much trouble not buying it. This week I wanted to start by sharing some items from Target's Patch NYC Look Book, which are super irresistible!

Owls AND mushrooms AND foxes!!!  

Do you see the owl in the middle? I love this!

I also wanted to share a few of my favorite items from The Mitten State, which sells the neatest Michigan apparel! I haven't bought a shirt yet, but I look at their site all the time! They also donate a portion of the proceeds to charity. Aww, what a great company!

Their stuff is great, and my birthday is coming up soon - just sayin'!

Happy Tuesday!

Tuesday Treasures #4 / Pinterest Edition

this edition of tuesday treasures is inspired by things i found on pinterest that i want! have you bought anything you found on pinterest? i sure have!

this is like, the most beautiful camera i have ever seen. i found it on pinterest, then it led me to a blog that led me to another pinterest-esque site called the fancy, which then led me to 'fancy' a bunch of stuff before i finally found the link to this gorgeous camera. pretty sure this baby is real gold. i didn't even try to search for a price on the page i finally ended up on, so maybe i can shoot with it in my dreams.

i think this rug is absolutely hilarious! it's $35 on amazon, but i figure i can easily make this myself if i can find a plain doormat. so pumped about making this!

this is so adorable! it's a custom made portrait from Jordan Grace on flickr. i imagine she has an etsy maybe, but this is where pinterest took me. She makes the most amazing drawings, and there is even little paperdolls she created which i assume she made in the likeness of someone. want!!

so allegedly i can't actually buy this toaster. according to this article about cool toasters, this is given to owners in japan who bring their cars in for servicing or something. just like the actual van, i may never own this. they are for sale on ebay, but they are well over $200! damn!

this ring from etsy is crazy awesome because it is actually your fingerprint! or your significant other's? i think that would be a super cute way to order it. how the heck do people come up with this stuff? i love this, and for $89, it's possibly the second cheapest treasure this tuesday. 

i guess i should live in chicago, because the maker of this spectacular pillow describes the blasphemy of putting ketchup on your hotdog there (yeah, it's gross, i already knew that but whatever!) so even though it may be blasphemy for me to be eating a veggie dog, i will never put ketchup on it! for those of you who don't know, i loveeeeee mustard, and so i loveeeee this pillow, also from etsy. so silly. and $35. good, i was getting worried all of these things were in the hundreds or thousands of dollars today!

what treasures have you swooned over on the internet this week? there is just so much good stuff out there!!
