    Digging this desk snail, complete with shell that opens up for sneaky storage.

    This living room is pretty cute but I am all about that mirror! I don’t know what it is lately but I just keep finding myself looking for cute mirrors. This one even has a shelf at the bottom for all my odds and ends. LOVE IT!

    Still loving the short wide leg pants trend, still haven’t tried it for myself for some unknown reason! These ones are super cute, come in a handful of colors and are pretty darn affordable.

    This bat print!

    UO now carries my favorite planter! These things are so neat. You plant in the top half and the water drains into the bottom half. It’s just super nice that you don’t need any ugly little tray to collect excess water. (You can see mine here!)

    Love this jumpsuit. Maroon was not a color I ever wore with my green hair but now I can’t help but be drawn to it. I have lost time to make up for.

    Tiny vintage mice to hold your rings!

    Loving these sandals! They’re majorly marked down right now too.

    I’m still obsessed with rompers! (Here’s another cute one that’s black and white striped!)

    You know I love anything with moons on it, this mug is no exception!

    Link love…

    • A few neat oddities – this vintage tooth shade guide! tooth display with removable teeth! a lot of old dental stuff! (honestly, the random ear is what caught my attention.) this torso! aaaand a whole bunch of knees!
    • Don’t mind me, just crushing on furniture I definitely don’t have room for.
    • A recent purchase I’m loving – this black midi dress! It fits so nicely and is super easy to just throw on. LOVE an outfit that looks like without trying too hard!
    • I linked to it a few weeks back but Modcloth is having a limited time outlet shop & now there’s nothing over $30!
    • Isn’t this such an interesting globe? I’ve never seen one with a stand like that.
    • Y’all have seen these finger planters, right?! (The seller currently has a couple that are imperfect at a really great price with free shipping!)
    • This mustard bralette!
    • Another braletteĀ that comes in a bunch of colors and is super affordable!

    Happy Friday! xoxo

  • found on the beach

    One venti Starbucks cup full of plastic ‘treasures’ found along a short stretch of Lake Erie. Less than half an hour to fill! Normally I carry a tote bag for all my beach finds. Lately though, the things I tend to gravitate toward picking up are much smaller. On my last visit, shortly after arriving …

  • ghost town – Piedmont, WY

    by Kaylah Stroup July 23, 2019

    Heading into Wyoming I really only knew two things about the state. One – it’s beautiful. Two – there are a lot of ghost towns. As much as we love just cruising around and checking things out, sometimes it can be a bit of a gamble going on the hunt for ghost towns. You never …
