What a Wonderful World

I thought by now I should share a little bit more about my personal self. My likes and dislikes (well not dislikes, I wouldn't want strangers with googley eyes knowing what ticks me off...yes, I assume you all have googley eyes). I have a love of very very specific things within life. The list of my inanimate and animate loves is endless luckily for me, but here are five things I particularly love today. Perhaps I will share more later, or perhaps not. You'll never know, unless of course you see me post another blog entry like this. In the event of that situation, then you will most certainly know. Or maybe not. Who knows? Don't ask me.

1. Tikis that yell at you (be it joyous or outrage).

2. Kittens that play charades.

3. Men who wear eyeglasses (because I assume that are all nerds like me).

4. Flowers that openly express their emotions. (Like here, this one is sad.)

5. Grandmothers that still know how to party. Smoke up Grandma Bee.

Wishful Thinking

So I haven't been able to post much lately, because I have been unable to obtain any pictures. My friend/photographer hasn't been available lately, so to keep my blog alive here is a wishlist of just a tidbit of the items off of the ModCloth site that I someday would love to own. Surely, most of you are familiar with ModCloth, because I've noticed many of their pieces on several of the blogs I follow. If not, however, ModCloth is this amazing online fashion store that has its own unique clothing and some vintage items thrown in the mix. They also sell incredible books and home decor. I wish I could style my home with all ModCloth items. Hat: I used to have a floppy hat similar to this, but my cat peed on it. Such a sad day. So I have been looking to replace it. I love this one for its stripes and awesomeness of its floppiness!

Vase: I am a sucker for handpicked flowers. I can't stand store bought ones (unless they are sunflowers, which I would cave into buying for myself at Whole Foods when I would buy my groceries). This vase is perfect for simple handpicked flowers out of a beautiful field (which there aren't enough of within my living vicinity).

Books: I have seen the Indie Rock Coloring Book in stores before, and it is truly amazing. Some of my most favorite artist are featured within the pages of this interesting little bit o' fun. And I have already read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (as well as Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, which are both completely awesome), and I cannot wait to get my hands on Dawn of the Dreadfuls! A prequel (I believe) to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Swimwear: I have been looking for a great one piece for about a year now (since the red suit is high-waisted, it qualifies as a one piece for me), and have yet to buy one. Since I always give into buying clothing and not bathing suits, I've yet to buy any of ModCloth's swim articles. But I must say, they all have great retro vibes. What I would do for either of these two bathing suits are things I cannot post here (for they may be illegal).

Jacket: I have been on a never-ending search for great jackets, and ModCloth always has incredible ones. Right now, this is my favorite on off the whole site. The studded detailing and off center zipper are to die for.

Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Hair!

If there is one thing I love as much as styling my daily wear, it's styling my hair every time it is due for a cut. Instead of trimming off the dead ends of my hair, I just change up the style each time. I've gone from long goldie locks to a jet black inverted bob to a redhead pixie, and everything in between. I am working on a modernized mullet right now, but it is going to need quite a bit of growing until it is ready.

When I feel I am due for a change atop my scalp, I browse the internet for appealing hairstyles. Today, I thought I'd share some of those with you. (For the record, I have a tendency to lean towards pixie haircuts, so there is quite a few pixies in this hairy compilation off of the worldwideweb.)

Posted last are the hairstyles of Tegan and Sara Quin. They are so gorgeous that I thought they deserved two photos! Not only the best celebrity hairstyles that I have seen, but possibly best period. I love them and their music. If you've never listened to them, I recommend hauling yourself to your local record store and buy their new album Sainthood for starters, and for finishers buy everything else. :)
