as promised

Remember how I made that promise....oh....two weeks ago? About how I would show you my room?

Well, it's nothing drastic, by any means, but I mostly want to show off my bookshelf of shoes :) It used to house a bunch of random crap that I never touched, and my shoes had no where to live. So the random crap was evicted and the shoes got to move in!

There are a few empty spaces, because I just donated about 11 pairs of shoes to the Salvation Army yesterday! And once I get a job and make some money, you can bet those spots will be filled by pretty shoes :D I think it's realistic to limit my entire shoe collection to what can fit on this here shelf!

Some other fashion related organization around my room:

Is it just me, or has there been a lot of room redecorating going on in the blogosphere lately? It's awesome and super inspiring. I'd totally be up for a full makeover of my room (which was painted last in 7th grade) but this is probably the last summer I'll be living at home! (But don't worry, I'll show off my new dorm room in September, and wherever else I live in the coming summers and school years!)

new shampoo necklace prototype

This was that idea I was talking about. I have a bunch of bottles collected from the last six months, so naturally, this is what I do with them :)

So here's the first go. Let me know what you think! Seriously - criticisms are GREAT. Be honest!

This necklace is made from a plastic contact solution bottle, recycled fabric and silver jewelry findings.

World Wide Web Wednesdays (to be known as www.wednesday in the future)

I know I've been a terrible terrible blogger! I blame it entirely on not having a job. Because without a job, I have nothing to do. And without anything to do, I don't have anywhere to go. And without anywhere to go, I have no reason to get dressed. And without getting dressed...well, you know how it goes.

I've been sitting on my ass all day errday, watching Daria and DVDs from the library and Netflix, and Party Down.

The good thing is, I do have some schtuffss to show you, since all I do is internet. Internet is a verb.

First. Scouting New York. It's a great blog that I just discovered because of this post. As if I need more reasons to NEED WANT DIE to live in New York City.

This wedding invitation. Honestly, how perfect is that!? (via hotchocolateandmint)

I'm addicted to tea. Especially chai tea lattes. I would really like to make this.

Guys! I made a tumblr!! So while I'm not here, I'm probably there, as there is where I'm posting random shizz that's too boring to post here...so if you're looking for a semi-boring-er place....I guess you should go there.

I'm going to go watch Daria more now.

ACTUALLY. WAAAAAITAMINUTE.

I have this potentially great idea milling in my mind. It is a product. That I would create. And I would like to give one away to one of you! But this blog doesn't have a huge number of followers, so if anyone could point me in the direction of a blog that hosts giveaways, that would be WONDERFUL! Or if you would like to do a giveaway on your own blog, I would absolutely love that! Please let me know in the comments or through email!

into the light

So basically, my life has consisted of sleeping in until lunchtime, marathoning a TV show (currently Daria), cooking and eating, all while not getting dressed.

So when my friends and I decided to go out for lunch today, I had to overcompensate for my lack of effort lately.
