     The packaging and photos for these socks is AMAZING, especially the pizza and the mushroom. Sadly, the designs on the socks themselves fall flat comparatively.

     I feel like I may have featured some of Wit & Whistle‘s pins before but I don’t remember this adorable packaging. Also, that crazy plant lady pin is precious, and totally me!

    Link love…
    ▴ Sometimes I find earrings that make me wish my ears weren’t stretched. This precious little skulls are exactly that.
    ▴ I kind of want to throw a Halloween party just so I have an excuse to buy these black cat napkins.
    ▴ This pin – for all the jerks who holler while I’m minding my own business on the street.

    ▴ A pair of jeans with a kitty peeking out of the back pocket. YES!!!

    Happy Friday!!
    xoxo
