apeshit for etsy

ive reopened my shop! its not something huge, but i am selling a few items that ive created or treasures that i have found in the local markets here in israel. i hope you can find something you like!

i have expressed my love obsession for etsy many times on the blog, here. there are endless pages to browse through and countless sellers to read about. i love reading about shop owners and what were their inspirations to begin creating and selling.

one feature that i found today was on a woman named courtney and her kick-ass shop called doloris petunia. read about her here & see below some of her unbelievable creations. and tell me its not clever that her shop slogan is "because one-of-a-kind is the new black."

athens necklace

 singapore earrings

 janis cuff

 amsterdam earrings

 prague

i could afford this stuff, i would buy her out!! =)

the amazon jungle

no, i don't mean the real amazon jungle. 

i am referring to this amazon jungle.

i have spent the last week searching, browsing & eventually plowing through the site trying to find the new, perfect boot, seeing as my beloved steve maddens finally gave in and started falling apart. sad face.

i chose these:

nine west fango bootie

what do you guys think??

i'm still in search for a slouchy, camel colored, mid-knee high boot...any suggestions??

5. imagining & planning my our entrepreneurial idea for when we move back to the states

6. hearing that i make my parents proud

7. receiving compliments from strangers

8. feeling the christmas spirit all the way over here in israel

9. when boyfriend looks at me & tells me im pretty

10. giving myself perfect mani / pedis & saving $20 bucks doing it

 i would love to hear your list, as well!

write it in ink

again, sweating tattoos.

espeically these handwritten ones.

i have one, but want another.

im just so indecisive, i blame it on my horoscope (libra!).

 carpe diem

 and all that could have been...

 go placidly amidst the noise and haste...

 hold on

this too shall pass

do you have tattoos?

ps- happy thanksgiving!!!

feeling feminine

i dont usually dress "girly," but this i think this outfit is exactly that. this skirt is one i scored at some random store here in israel for like 12 bucks and this top i fell in love with from forever 21. i would have never thought to pair the two together, but i think it works well....for a very feminine look. i tried toughening it up with black tights and black shoes from aldo. i also added an arm party & blazer to make it work (and weather!) appropriate.

what do you think?

a little music makes it more fun  :)

hope you are having a great week so far! happy tuesday!!!
