These gals got it so right, no? From intricate to simple, these designs are keeping it classy. Click each image for their original source and stay tuned for future files from this here un-inked little lady.
And so the tattoo files persist.
One of my favorite indulgences is curling up on the sofa with a glass of red and my latest magazine. I'm the type that likes to read the entire issue in one sitting - it feels like such a treat.
I've never been a blazer kind of gal, but I'm starting to wonder if this just might be the year.
Here's the thing, I don't have any tattoos, nor am I planning to get one anytime soon if ever. While I consider myself a loyal person in many senses of the word, I go through phases of adoration/intolerance more regularly than I'd like to admit.
Did you get a chance to see the photos of Etsy's Brooklyn office space over on Apartment Therapy? As we grow bigger, I hear the space will be expanding too. Rumors of reclaimed hardwood floors and a rollerskating party to break them in before moving the furniture in were all abuzz in Brooklyn recently.
Dreaming of an apron style farm sink, similar to this one on Poppytalk via Jenny S. Tackling the dishes would be much easier a task with such a pretty basin, no?
As of late, industrial and commercial grade essentials of the past have been at the top of my decorating frame of mind. One detail I've been fixating on for months is an industrial size canvas laundry cart complete with casters. Not only would one be great for actually doing the laundry, but just think of all the unique storage solutions one of these babies could solve: bathroom towel display, cleaning supply cart, a magazine and afghan caddy for the family room...oh the possibilities.
My coworker and friend, Jay, asked me to make him a laptop sleeve for his new MacBook Pro. Having never made one before, I told him "Of course, I'm sure I can figure it out..."
So, that's what I did. Using vintage upholstery fabric from my collection and portions of a large coffee sack Tim brought me from Blanchard's Coffee, I fashioned my first laptop sleeve.
While I don't think laptop sleeves will be a regular thing for me, it was inspiring to try something new and rewarding to make a tangible reality out of a vision in my head.
Open backs and barely-there-backless numbers lend a whole new meaning to sultry: an unexpected peek of flesh, and curves of a different kind. Classy and completely sexy.
In tune with the menswear kick I've found myself touting, one particular element keeps teasing my fancy: the oxford. I'm enthralled with the diverse varieties and takes on this shoe style, especially the transitional appeal they seem to carry from one season to the next. Today's collection was inspired by the larger menswear Etsy Finds collection I curated over on Etsy's blog today.
I stumbled across this gem at the expense of the charming Allison's sick day. It's a french antique version of the dental model crafted from metal with fully removable enamel teeth. It's mind blowing the amount of time and meticulous craftsmanship that went into making a model of this variety dating back to the 1920's. I would be beyond thrilled to add one of these to my curiosities collection one day.

Haven't we all heard the cliché of finding a man in uniform irresistible? I've begun to notice stylized versions and hints of the classic uniform trickling into fashion, accessories, and home decor designs. Time to suit up and put uniform chic on the style watch. Each of the finds above came from Etsy, see more of my finds suiting this trend and the sellers they came from in this article on Etsy's blog.
