Etsy searches

No excuses - I haven't blogged in ages, but I'm back! Anyway, I spend a lot of time on Etsy searching the vintage section and have come up with a pretty solid list of my favorite search terms. Just thought I would share a few with you today. It's always so exciting when you come across a great find. Happy hunting!

1) "Stripes" (I loved these Striped Party Cups for only $17!)

2) "Tea Towel" (Union Jack Tea Towel - $9.50)

3) "Nautical" (Nautical Ropes Antique Coffee Pot - $140)

Australia!

Hi!
Just wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be taking a temporary hiatus from blogging as I pack my bags and head to Australia! I've never been and am so excited! I'll be sure to post some photos when I get back.


I had a quick look at the Sydney City Guide from Design Sponge which you can see here, and I highly recommend checking out all of their city guides for practical info or just to daydream...


Also, how cool is this print of the pool at Bondi Icebergs from 20x200? This one is sold out, but the artist (Carlo Van de Roer) has more of his work here...

Take care guys!

Blazer + Bathing Suit... Doing it

I love the super chic idea of wearing a blazer as swimsuit cover up as seen in Vogue's June 2010 issue! I definitely plan on trying this combo this summer, although giant shades and a boat might help...

Polaroid is back!

I know the new Polaroid Instant Camera is old news, but I want this:

Polaroid 300 Instant Camera in Red - $89.00

So I can do this:

Socks + Heels

I'm loving the look of socks and high-heeled sandals as seen in this editorial from the June issue of Vogue UK! I just discovered it on dustjacket attic and I'm a little obsessed... There's something about it that looks so chic yet ridiculous at the same time. Somehow it just works!

And... how amazing are these?! Cynthia Vincent did a line for Target and these super cute shoes are available online for only $29.99 here.

Obsessed: Marie Veronique Organics

I'm pretty loyal to my skincare/ makeup products, but I just tried Marie Veronique Organics' Moisturizing Face Screen Plus and I think I'm in love! I use the tinted version as foundation and not only does it offer great coverage, but it protects my skin without building up, feeling oily, or depositing chemicals onto my face. Plus, it smells fantastic! I've actually started wearing generally less makeup since using it. I seriously can't recommend it enough! Check it out here.
