Work it:Casual Friday

A lonely grey Friday afternoon. Not only is the weather yucky outside today, but my boy had to go into work early, leaving me to get pictures of my casual Friday outfit and go thrifting all by my lonesome.

 I really wanted to wear these shoes today, but after stepping outside and seeing the crumby weather I promptly went back in and changed into flats. Sigh. Sun come soon!

Isn't this jacket awesome! It is Jordache denim jacket from the 90's I found at Red Light Vintage a few years back, and I only pull it out when I am in a certain mood. I could wear it everyday but I don't want to take the risk of getting burnt out on it. Do you ever have an item you could wear daily but save as a special piece?

Jacket: Jordache

Jeans: Old Navy

V-Neck: Old Navy

Wedges: Guess

My very second TilT! School and finals are over, that means more time for blogging, crafting and adventures!
Here we go!

peanut butter chocolate pillows- After hearing about Kaylah of The Dainty Squid raving about these vegan delights I had to make them. Thank you to The PPK for these and all your amazing vegan recipes! Mine turned out pretty big; I wasn't expecting them to rise and spread out as much as they did- a little goes a long way with these suckers! Also, the wax paper was important- the dough gets really sticky.

dark cycle clothing- One of my all time favorite Etsy shops! This husband/wife duo makes the most unique t-shirts with animals riding bicycles and other wheeled apparatuses (and other awesome shirts). I bought one for my boy- a wolf riding a fixie. Go check them out. NOW!

bambi riverbelle- This is my baby girl. She means the world to me. Bambi just turned 5 years old at the end of May- shes getting so old!

cafe yumm!- This is my go-to food. Brown rice, black beans, shredded cheese, tomatoes, black olives, salsa, avacoado, sour cream all topped of with the tangy-delicious Yumm! Sauce. AND for you vegans- they can hook you up. 'Nuf Said.

things i love thursdays

I thought I would fancy things up around here and do my very own tilt this week! Here we go...

family. I ventured up north to Mukilteo to visit my family after quite a few months without seeing them. Its a chaotic house with 5 children and 3 dogs but my mama and papa are still truckin. As cliche as it sounds I never want to take my family for granted.

doves. Last summer I was fortunate enough to foster and adopt two special needs ringneck doves from a avian rescue in Albany, OR. Earlier this spring I became a grandmother to that beautiful baby up there who still remains unnamed. (we refer to him/her as Baby Dove.) The other two are named Cyndi Lauper and Freddie Mercury.

my hairbrush. About a year ago I bought this really amazing BASS brush that is made out of bamboo (even the bristles!) and ZOMG it is really amazing. My hair gets really wild and tangly and I haven't had a bristle break on me yet. I love the look and feel of this brush and highly recommend it.


until next time my fellow fingernails-

Work It: Current Trends I HATE

1. TOMS- Why do I hate such a charitable company you ask? Because I am not a fan of any bandwagon trend that pressures someone to buy a product! People tell me I need a pair of TOMS. I dont give in to fashion trends because it is what everyone else is doing. Call me a mean-spirited party pooper but TOMS make your feet look square and stumpy. If you didnt know what TOMS were and saw someone on the street wearing them chances are you would think to yourself "what a hobo shoe!"

2. FEATHER HAIR EXTENSIONS- I love Ke$sha. She has been wearing feathers in her hair for years now. I collect found feathers and when my doves molt I will pick a fancy one and yes on occasion I would wear it in my hair. A year ago (before I heard of the now so popular feather extensions) thought I was being semi-original as I saw no one else with a bluejay feather in their hair around town. Now days I cant leave home without seeing a girl playing with the damned thing in her hair (also while sporting her glittery TOMS).

Also, these feathers are not synthetic. So vegans beware as they come from roosters. Now I looked into this and could not find how they are harvested or how the roosters are treated in this process but I am very curious to know: are the roosters suffering for a girl's need to fit in with the crowd? If anyone has any credible (with sources) info on how feathers are "harvested" please let inquiring minds know.

Im done bitching. For now.
