Those donuts… THOSE ARE SOCKS! They make sushi ones too!

So, if you follow me on Instagram you have already seen this shirt but I just love it so much I had to share it here as well! 

(via Moorea Seal)

Yes, please!

This wax stamp! Totally digging this skull one too! (If you aren’t into weird stuff, they have a bunch of other designs available as well!)

(via Telosma)

Still daydreaming about all the pretty earrings I’ll wear someday! I’ll definitely need a glittery pair like these.

(via Bando)

I recently discovered this super rad smart lamp and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I’m already a big fan of any sort of lighting that isn’t overhead but I love it even more when it’s multi-purpose like this one! It’s Amazon Alexa enabled meaning you can use your voice to control lighting features, set timers, check the weather, tell time, and play music.

(via Amazon)

Speaking of unique lights, loving this one. A little reminiscent of macaroni but somehow still awesome!

(via Urban Outfitters)

You already know how much I love things with eyes on them! These socks are fab!

(via Bando)

Cactus vase!

(via Urban Outfitters)

I am such a sucker for regular household items made cute. I mean, who doesn’t want a rainbow in the bottom of their glass!?

(via Amazon)

Holy smokes, this jacket!

(via Modcloth)

This ruuuuug!

(via Urban Outfitters)

Link love…

  • Something silly – chicken leg socks. I can’t stop thinking about how funny these would be paired some booty shorts around the house. Like ‘Oooh, look how cute….oh…what?’
  • Lovin’ this black and white striped swimsuit. It’s not your standard b+w stripes either!
  • Ice cream sweater!!
  • We don’t really have room for another chair in our living room but that doesn’t stop me from drooling over this one.
  • Tooth shaped USB drive!
  • This link is just for a pink fuzzy cardigan but I’m digging the whole outfit!
  • Loving this bra. I’m not actually a fan of thin bras like that but I adore the color and pattern!
  • An instax mini photo album that doubles as a desktop calendar.

Happy Friday!
