 Hello there, desk of my dreams!

I want a life time supply of coffee scented candles.

I don’t know any kitties who would put up with this level of tomfoolery but I still very much enjoy the idea of my silly little Professor in an inflatable wizard hat!

I like big slices and I cannot lie. (Also in pin form if that’s what you’d prefer!)

Always a fan of cute pens! Tiny Bees is actually full of adorable and suuuper cheap stationery items!

I recently got this bag in the mail, and I’m sure I’ll share pictures of it soon but I just have to rave about what an awesome bag it is! I thought it was just a regular backpack but it has a nice little cushy pocket for my laptop and the front pocket holds my kindle perfectly. It’s my new coffee shop bag!
I 1000% do not need any more dishes but that doesn’t stop me from drooling over these babies.

 A set of compliment postcards to send to your friends …or to strangers!
 (via: Amazon)
I already put all my polaroids in albums last year (after having them just occupy boxes for many years previous!) but I want to buy a ton of these albums and fill them instead.

Link love…
▴ This medical model set? Pleeeeease and thank you!
▴ Coffee fudge. YES. PLEASE.
▴ Why are vintage stamps so much cooler than the ones available now!?
▴ It’s me! Duchess of sassytown!
▴ My all time favorite cardigan, which I already own more than a handful of colors, now comes in a new color!
▴ I really enjoy Sarah McNeil’s illustration style. Her custom pet portraits are theeee cutest.
▴ Don’t mind me, just drooling over pretty little opal rings.

Happy Friday!!

This coat is mighty expensive but it has cat shaped pockets! Duuude!

I absolutely love Ben Constantine’s style. I would be soooo stoked to have a portrait of me and my critters done by him. I’ve been thinking for a while now how much I’d love to start a collection of portraits by a bunch of different artists of me and the animals but that could end up being a very, very expensive collection... but it’d be rad!

For a limited time, Brit+Co is offering some of their amazing online classes for FREE! You can find the ones offered for free here, but seriously, don’t stop there. Their whole catalog of courses is super tempting!

THIS BRA, y’all!
Build your own stag beetle!

This lapel pin, while quite obviously not everyone’s taste, is pretty darn rad!

See that lamp? I am OBSESSED with that lamp. I oogle it every time I walk into Target. It’s just so pretty!

Look at these nail decals!!

Until the 3rd Modcloth is having a big sale on their sale items aaaand my all time favorite shorts are seriously seriously seriously marked down. Originally $39.99 but with the coupon code they’re only $8.39! You should probably buy at least two pairs.

▴ Always a fan of a pair of good lookin’ strappy black flats!
▴ Since discovering them many years ago, there hasn’t been a period of time where I didn’t have cute decals on my keyboard. It’s about time for an upgrade. I kinda dig these ones, not crazy about the space bar though. And this pink set is super cute. Mixed Decal actually has a huge selection of awesome sets!
▴ How cute is this little skull ring?!
▴ On the subject of kind of weird but cute jewelry – this fly necklace!
▴ Send help! I’m oversized cardigan obsessed.

Happy Friday!!

Christmas Wishlist 2016

by Kaylah Stroup

 Christmas sure is sneaking up this year. Probably because for the first time ever I have something I’m more excited about than Christmas – MOVING! My landlord called yesterday and gave us a move in date… two days before Christmas. Clearly not the most ideal but I’m still stupid excited.* That also puts it into perspective how close the holiday is and how absolutely unprepared I am. I have zero shopping done, although I do plan on doing some today. Cross your fingers I’m successful. It’s tradition to share my Christmas list on the blog each year. It’s a little silly but I love looking back at the lists and seeing just how little my tastes have changed. (2013, 2014, 2015) In 2016 I’m hoping for…

1. Ninja coffee bar brewer. 2016 will be known as the year I fell in love with coffee… and the year that my Keurig died. It’s fine though because I wanted to upgrade to something that I could make better coffee with.
2. Use Your Delusion by Honus Honus on vinyl. Honus Honus, lead singer of my all time favorite band Man Man, released his first solo album this year. Love him, love it, need it on vinyl! Simple as that.
3. You Go Girl print. I would LOVE a print from my favorite graffiti artist. Literally no idea where to go about finding one though. I found the image used in the collage above in an interview with the artist but I can’t seem to find any sort of web presence for them which is equal parts frustrating because I want to support their art, and intriguing because I love mysterious people! PS. If you’re from NOLA + know anything about YGG or where I can find prints of their work – let me know!
4. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This won’t be released in time for Christmas but you’re crazy if you don’t think I’m dying to get my hands on it. I cannot wait to play!
5. This rug! Still not really sure what I’ll really need for the new apartment but I know there is always room for a new rug. I’ve still got a huge crush on this one.
6. Set of three floating shelves. Yeah, admittedly not the most exciting thing to put on a wish list, but I really dig these shelves. I’d like them in black.
7. Apple Watch. For the longest time I wasn’t interested in getting an Apple Watch…then it hit me all of a sudden! Honestly, it’s between Fossil’s smartwatch and an Apple Watch. I can’t quite decide which I’d like better. The Fossil one is soooo cute. I saw a lady wearing one at the airport earlier this year and couldn’t help but stare. Wanted : fancy, shiny gadget for my wrist.
8. FABRIKÖR. I’ve been in love with this weird little cabinet from Ikea since the moment I laid eyes upon it. I knew it’d be perfect for all my weird things. Seriously, picture it filled with dentures and medical models. It’s so me! I had no where to put it in this apartment but I will find a space for it in the new place!
9. Bubble bath. With my new claw foot tub I predict 2017 will be the year of the bubble bath. I think about it all the time. I hope Santa brings me alllll the bubble bath!
10. Bathtub caddy. I’ve wanted one of these bathtub caddies since the moment I knew they existed. The problem was they don’t really work with a normal tub since there isn’t a lip on the one side for it to sit on. Once again, claw foot tub changing everything!

Guess I should stop browsing for myself now and work on getting these names crossed off my list! What are you hoping to find under the Christmas tree this year?
xoxo

THIS DRESS. It is taking every single ounce of self control for me to not buy this.

I don’t know when I’d ever wear them but that doesn’t stop me from loving these glittery shoes!

(via: Modcloth)
I LOVE this lapel pin. It also comes in patch form if that more your style!
 Birds in hats is seriously one of the funniest shops. It was so hard to choose which items to share.

Cats in sweaters! You need to go look at all the photos on this calendar. SO DARN CUTE.

 This bra is killing me. Just the color and the lace. It’s so pretty.
 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.

 

Aren’t these precious!? I actually own them (see them here!) and they are just as cute in person!
(via: MirDinara)
 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!

▴ 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.
▴ Moon + opal. Basically two things guaranteed to make a real nice piece of jewelry!
▴ A pair of jeans with a kitty peeking out of the back pocket. YES!!!

Happy Friday!!

This bralette has the cutest print ever on it. I want a bra, some undies, and a dress all in this print!!
Modcloth carries a few pairs of Joules boots now! I’ve talked a lot on here about how much I love their boot. You just can’t beat a product that holds up super well and is still cute. This fancy fox pair makes me wish I had a reason to own more than one pair.
 (via: Modcloth)
 An adorable cactus pillow. She also makes a set of really snazzy striped ones.
This cute little shelving unit would be perfect for plants.
Stripes and polka dots do go together!

 Last year I realized that sweaters from Sugarhill Boutique were basically the bee’s knees. They fit me so well. Aaaand now it’s like they’re designing things just for me! I NEED this sweater.
(via: Modcloth)
 Donut kid yourself, this patch is adorable.

 

 (via: Amazon)
I was just thinking how sad I will be to take down my moon calendar when the year ends but then I spotted this which is incredibly similar…and maybe even a little bit cooler!
 (via: Moorea Seal)
This teaching model kills me. It’s beeeeautiful!
I absolutely love this print by Leigh Cox!
 (via: Leigh Cox)
Not even going to lie, from the main photo on the listing I thought this was a candle and I thought it sounded awesome. When I went to grab a photo for this post I realized it wasn’t a candle at all but literal maple cream… and I’m still super into it! That sounds delicious.
I basically enjoy all cutesy kitchen items but this mushroom mortar and pestle takes the cake!!
(via: Modcloth)
 (via: Mustard)
I can always find room for one more patch, especially when it’s a cactus!
 (via: PatchMeSo)
Boy, this post sure has a theme this week, huh? Why stop now? Here’s a cactus watch!
 (via: Moorea Seal)
I saved the best for last, Melissa from Miss Missy Paper Dolls made a paper doll of me… and it’s the absolute coolest thing ever.

▴ Spine candle! Perfect for Halloween…or all year long if you’re like me!
▴ Opted to share a link to this instead of including the photo because even I can admit it’s a little creepy, but I kiiiind of need this for my collection of dental odds and ends.
▴ You guys, I don’t even drink but there was no way I could not share this corgi bottle stopper with you. It’s so cute!
▴ This studio applause sign is super neat.
▴ Love this gold bralette and panties set!

Happy Friday!!

It’s the time of the year where I start getting reeeeal excited about getting a new calendar! Look at this beautiful one.

It’s also almost time to get my skeleton leggings out of the closet. It might be time to upgrade though, this pair has a print on both sides, and glow under UV light!

The coin purse of my dreams!

A perfect top for fall!

Like everyone else in the world, I watched and LOVED Stranger Things. I am loving all the fan art popping up around the internet. This print might be one of my favorites I’ve seen so far.

The cuuuuutest! (I have axolotl fever right now, okay?)
Not only is this holographic nail polish super pretty, it also has really good reviews!

 A clear bag isn’t necessarily something I’d ever want to use – my bag, my secretssss – so why am I so attracted to it!?
 (via: Atelier AYD)
AH! This vase!!
These vintage glasses are SO pretty! Actually, the whole shop is full of beautiful vintage frames! It’s hard to choose a favorite.

▴ If you like my giant medical dude, I found the same on for sale on etsy right now! I’ve seen tons of similar things but never the same one. Pretty rad!
▴ This might be one of the most strange novelty purses I’ve ever seen…
▴ If you’re looking for a pizza costume for your cat, I found it for you! Also bread!
▴ Just five pairs of really silly puppy socks. (For you, not for puppies. Although, I wouldn’t judge you if you put them on puppies.)
▴ I’m dreaming of this ridiculous hanging chair in a big, beautiful, brick loft.
▴ This cat sweater says it’s “what you would wear if you were a cat”… and it totally is!

PS. Labor Day Sales have started!!!

Modcloth has a HUGE sale section with items marked way down! I really really love this bicycle print dress.
EVERYTHING is on sale at Moorea Seal, even new arrivals, with code laborday!

Happy Friday!!
