"In A World of My Own"

Alice said it best when she described a world of her own.  Today I was talking to Isaac about what my "dream world" would have and after saying it out loud I had two thoughts:
1-Wow, that was really weird.
2-But wouldn't it be cool?!

A few things my world would have are unicorns, mermaids, and talking animals.

I absolutely love the idea of mermaids and unicorns.  I used to be embarrassed about this but with this whole being bold thing I'm doing I've decided to not care what other people think about it.  Here are a few of my favorite images of these things:








These things can definitely teeter on the childish side but I think in moderation and done tastefully unicorns and mermaids are actually quite posh.  What do you think?

Hi all!

I started my first day of work today..well..training and I'm very impressed by the company that I work for.  Everything seems so structured and on point which I LOVE!  I foresee a wonderful future in the horizon.

So while I believe that I need a 50 hour a week job I also have a little side project that gives me much joy and is a stress relief.  Since college I've been eBaying.  Yes, eBaying!

As a college student I worked at J.C. Penney (in men's sportswear) and would eBay anything I could get my hands on.  I would post on Sundays and ship on Tuesdays.  It was my thing and I made some quick cash from it.  After college, though, I put it to rest, though, but moving up to San Antonio and hitting up Goodwills has revamped my love for it.  I'll try to keep the tradition alive and post on Sundays still but with a new work schedule, who knows?!

Either way-I like random, vintage, quirky finds.  Think cute cat mugs, vintage dresses from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, glass sets, and my personal favorite are vintage nightgowns.  I found this one chiffon robe from the 50s that retails around $300 that is still available for purchase.

At times I'll sell my personal items that I don't wear or use anymore in hopes that they'll find a good home.

If you're ever interested check out my eBay!  My inventory right now is kind of low and random because I just sold about 6 items.  My prices are good but my finds are even better.

Till next time!

Unicorns

Today is Isaac's day off so it's our day to go around and run random errands and explore San Antonio a bit.  Though I've passed by the Huebner Oaks location so many times I never noticed this awesome unicorn painting on Brindles' window but once I did I made Isaac take my picture with it.  Unicorns are everything I loved in my childhood.  I had t-shirts, figurines, posters, everything unicorns.  I used to be kind of embarrassed of that fact but you know what, I OWN IT NOW! I will always get a little giddy when I see them.  If only they were real....

Anyway-another reason for the blog is that my friend Adriana (check her out at http://labellevieaw.blogspot.com) said that she LOVED my outfit and told me I should blog about it so here I go:

I didn't put much thought in to what I was going to wear today.  Isn't that how the best outfits and ideas happen?  All I knew is that I wanted to wear boots today because of the rainy weather in the am.  These boots are the Nicole brand and the dress is from Gap.  Purse is Louis Vuitton and the pink tassel was $5 at Bussey's Flea Market.  

Lately I've been keeping my jewelry very minimal.  I usually rock a necklace, stackable bracelets, multiple rings, etc, but lately I've really been feeling wearing only one bracelet if at all.  I think it allows for more attention to go to my other items like my purse, shoes, hair, etc.

As you can see from my top picture my hair was pulled back in a medium pony tail which I'm not a huge fan of ever having my hair up but with the weather, you do what you have to do.  Plus it's so much easier having your hair up.  You aren't constantly pushing it out of your way.

Alright, I don't have much else to write.  I have been feeling a little blue lately but I'm hoping my luck with change.
