Thoreau






Walden pond. Wearing LF t-shirt, H&M tank, thrifted True Religion jeans, self-made arm warmers, Old Navy jacket.

I love photos of sand.. its texture.. its color. And the way the sand is visible through the water.

retro ebay


Latest ebay listing and the latest addition to my sunglasses collection.
In a weird way the shoulder pads on this sweater really work

Cotton blend

Wearing self-altered jean jacket, Express cardigan, ASOS dress, H&M leggings, ASOS boots and random scarf

I've had this jean jacket sit in my closet for months and wore it maybe twice, so I decided to alter it. Swapping the jean sleeves for hoodie sleeves made it much more wearable and 80s. Very happy with the result. I really like the bulk the scarf gives it too.

interior inspiration

So I stumbled across a series of photos on yellowtrace of rooms at Boulevard Leopard, a bed and breakfast in Antwerp, Belgium. This is one of those photos


It immediately reminded me of the dollhouse of Petronella Oortman in the Rijkmuseum in Amsterdam, which I've never seen, but I remember having a book about it. I remember loving this book.
The antique finishes and the partially concealed second room are so simple and beautiful

mirrors




Projects in progress..
I love making summer dresses! This one needs a zipper..and I was really hoping it would survive on stretch alone but no. Wait for more progress next week.
On an unrelated note sometimes humidity does amazing things to my hair.
