vintage vs. new

After looking up so much vintage school supplies I decided to see what people were making as far as school supplies go.  I went back to my bff etsy and found SO much cute stuff.  Check it out.

I really like this bag.  It'r really cute and has a clean look.  I could see this being at Gap.  It's from ikabags.  Where's my tandem bicycle I need to go to art school.

Yep, I'll take that pencil case.  This beauty is from aylla.  It's even on sale! WooHoo.

Look at this cute fabric covered journal.  It's made by ME!  Look at my etsy shop here.  You can reuse the covers on any composition book!

I'm in love with this lunch bag.  I might really buy this for work.  It's insulated it has a great strap.  It's cute.  It's perfect.  It's carriedawaybags.

These are little snack bags from sacsavers.  They are cotton with spill proof, stain proof liners.  I need to make some of these...or buy them.  I'm sick of throwing away tons of plastic bags!

um, yeah.  You need cute new glasses for school right?  We need to trick the teacher into thinking you're smart from day one.  (They'll grade you better if they think you're smart.)  This cute heart glasses are from steppie.

Some Floral Inspirations

So I made a little inspiration board.  This is what I am thinking for the flowers at the wedding.

In the board I have a variety of mums, grasses, wheat, weeds, pine cones, twine, herbs and apples.  Don't get me wrong I am also very open to some one who knows more about fall flowers than me.  (That could be almost everyone!)  What a mix of colors!  I might need to calm the look of the wedding down a bit with more subtle colors.

What I bought at work today....

I bought this awesome dress at work today.  It is a knit, grey and white striped dress with a little braided brown leather belt.  It just has a great airy feel.  It looks like a dress I'm going to want to wear every other day in the summer.  And here is the kicker.... $14.90!  I know, right!  First chance I get I'm wearing this with leggings and my sperry topsiders.

I also bought this shirt from our new Love 21 line.  Which is a more sophisticated look for forever.  I really like their items.  It is a soft woven breezy ruffle collar shirt.  I thought this shirt would look great with a pencil skirt.

Like this one...   The belt and necklace are vintage.  The skirt is an old Forever 21 item.  I'm in love.
