Window Shopping: Tee Shirts

I don't need any more tee shirts, and I certainly don't need to spend any more money.  So all of my shopping lately is of the window variety.  I have found a bunch of really cool shirts that I wouldn't mind having, so I wanted to share them.

for everyone who puts stuff on the internet; also it's in the store for an awesome webcomic so double win

Link has a lot  in his inventory.  This is what it would look like if he was carrying it all without a magical storage system.

This one's pretty adorable.

He's a Stormtroopa.  Get it?  This one is out of stock, but that's okay when you're window shopping.

Just Checking In

Hi everyone.  I just wanted to let you all know that I've had the flu since Monday night, so I haven't really been doing anything except drinking fluids, blowing my nose, watching Netflix, and sleeping.

But I feel bad for neglecting you guys, so here's a picture from a week or two ago.

According to Google+ I look like a 12 year-old in this picture.

I got my Star Wars shirt from ThinkGeek and it's pretty perfect.  And taking pictures of yourself while hula hooping without self-timer is difficult.

Oh, and also! the next three orders from my Etsy shop will come with a free 3 x 5 print.

This is one of my prints.

Music Videos

I never really used to watch music videos.  I had cable growing up, but no MTV, and I'm not even sure if they were still showing music videos on MTV when I was young.  Anyway I like music videos now.  It's interesting how sometimes you can love a song and then the music video is equally amazing, and sometimes you can adore a song to death and the music video is weird, but not good weird, like confusing weird.  Here are examples of both.


I love Imagine Dragons. And I love Radioactive too. And the music video for this song just happens to be one of my favorite music videos ever, which is pretty fantastic.

Then we have Black Hole Sun. This video is pretty insane but I still like it. And I love the song.

And then we have this one. I like Ms Mr a lot. I love this song. I'm a huge fan of deeper voiced singer women. But this video is just... I don't even have a word. Apparently this is what goes on in her head, because the lyrics go, "Welcome to the inner workings of my mind." Ms Mr do have pretty bizarre music videos. I love their music but their music videos are not for me. Also I saw them and a bunch of other indie/alternative bands this past weekend at Seattle's Summer Camp. And despite it being an all-day outdoor concert, I only got a teeny bit sunburned. Because I remembered my sunscreen! The concert was pretty great and New Politics were my favorite band there.  They were also the most hardcore.  Coincidence?  And they are definitely entertainers.  The lead singer breakdanced repeatedly.  This is a sample of his skills, but not from the concert I was at.

What is the best or worst music video you've ever seen for a song that you love?

Wishing For and Wished For

I've been wishing for some things lately, and allowed myself to purchase some of them.  These are a few of the things on my wish/wished list.

1. Dress-Center.com: circus style leggings 2. ThredUp: strapless dress 3. SammyDress.com: short sleeve lace dress 4. SammyDress.com: high low peplum top 5. Etsy: reversible pixel heart necklace 6. Dress-Center.com: tiered dress 7. SammyDress.com: pale green lace dress 8. Etsy: Star Wars hair bow 9. Cage City: striped skater skirt 10. Atterley Road: peplum top 11. Thinkgeek: Star Wars tee shirt 12. Cage City: polka dot dress

Some of those are affiliate links (meaning I'll get a % commission if you buy from the site through those links) but these are all really products I want.  I only share stuff that I really truly love.  I bought the Star Wars shirt, the Star Wars bow, and the reversible pixel hearts necklace, and I got them all in the mail today except the necklace, which I'm so excited for.  Since I make jewelry for a living, I never buy jewelry unless it's super amazing, and this necklace is definitely super amazing.  And that bow?  It's the fifth one I've bought from that seller on Etsy.  She's one of the best sellers I've done business with there and I will continue to turn to her for all of my cute hair bow needs.  In fact, I'm so in love with her stuff that I'm going to dedicate a whole post to her shop in the future.

Okay, let me tell you about some of the sites I'm partnering with.  You may have seen the name ThredUp on other blogs lately (I have.)  It's a pretty cool concept that's pretty much an online thrift store.  You can even sell them your own gently used clothing.  Just like any thrift store, not everything is super fashionable or on trend, but there are some super cute things for low prices, and there is new stuff added all of the time.  I really really love that strapless dress I found there.  How cute would it be under a blazer or cardigan (I'm planning ahead for fall), plus it's great for this hot Seattle weather that's been happening lately.  SammyDress.com and Dress-Center.com are both pretty great sites for cute clothing at amazing bargain prices.  I haven't purchased from either of them yet, but when I have shopped on similar sites in the past the clothing has always been high-quality and I've been astounded that I got it for such a low price.  Of the two, SammyDress.com is definitely the one with the lowest prices.  I'm super excited to share more of these brands with you and at some point I will buy things from them and let you know how I like their products and service and all that.
