Vintage Candles - Easy (?) DIY

I'm not sure how "easy" this would actually be... But I bet I could find a lot of interesting vintage tins at the Salvation Army or the flea market on Fairfax & Melrose! Perhaps I'll try this out one of these days.

Mark Your Calendars...

For November 23rd. Lanvin for H&M hits stores... and it looks like it's going to be incredible.





... I don't think I'm going to be able to resist!

Cozy Jumpers

Perfect Fall must-have sweaters (although I think it's fun to call them jumpers):

Hopeful + Strong

Sometimes when things seem to be overwhelming...insurmountable.. too much to handle.. It's important to just remember you can only take things one step at a time. You must strive to find the silver lining in everything. Here are a few images that seem to help keep me going when times are tough:

I like to imagine myself living in this refurbished old apartment looking out at these worn apartment buildings. It's always been a dream to venture off to NYC and just see if I can be an East-Coaster even though I identify with the West Coast to my core... I think it would be a fun adventure. Making elaborate plans and dreams is always fun :)

Even when things are bad or hard - there is always so much good that gets lost in the midst of it all. Hold onto the good, and keep faith that things will get better.

Each day is a new day. Although I am usually a very happy-go-lucky person, right now there are some things happening in my world that are shaking my resolve. I just keep faith that tomorrow will be better than today and each day we get stronger.

Fall Cravings.. and making a comeback

Fall crept up quickly... I once again left the blogosphere for awhile... quite awhile. A sweet anonymous comment inspired me to make a comeback. Lately I have taken to constantly pulling images and dropping them in a large "Inspiration" file on my desktop. Be it fashion, home decor, or fun DIY projects, I find that it brings a bit of spark to each day. Here are a few of my fashion cravings for Fall:

Oversized sweaters, outfits with pops of color

All things sheer - current obsession: sheer maxis

Exhibit A: Sheer maxi. Love!

Cozy layers with a bit of edge

A classic cape

Unfortunately I need to figure out a better way to keep track of where all my inspiration comes from so I can give it proper credit... My apologies.

Hope your Fall is nothing short of fabulous. xo
