fun times at 6:30am

once again i'm up with the sun. it feels good, actually. i seem to get so much accomplished these days unlike last summer when i got out of bed around 10:00am most days.

so going through my bloglines this morning i found a new post from the vintage society blog. she showed off a cute little fall outfit she put together using polyvore. this website is almost like playing dress-up!

here's what i put together this morning:


the docs may seem like an odd choice with all the fashion-forward choices on the website but i needed something to try and cover up the boots that came with the tights i chose. and besides, i sort of fell in love all over again with my old docs in the springtime. they're one of the few things i still have around from my leather-buying days. anyhow, i liked the bit of edge they gave to the dress.

anyhow, have fun playing around but be warned...it could become a little addictive!

before a nap

i'm a bit sleepy today. i think i stayed up a bit too late. i got up early again and drove paul to work because he had way too much stuff to bring with him to take it all on his bike or on ttc. it was the perfect opportunity to head to queen west and pick up a few supplies to try out a new earring design i've been dreaming up.

noah won't stay out of the neighbour's yard and it's driving me crazy.

oh yeah, and our 3rd & 4th zucchinis are almost ready to be picked.

here are a few more outfits i fell in love with on facehunter yesterday. i find these "street style" sites so inspirational.









now if i can convince noah to give me some room on the couch, i'm going to take a catnap.

facehunter.com

another productive day today! i was up at 7:30am and managed to get a bunch of errands done and still have time to bake up a whole bunch of shrinkies. i think they will probably become stud earrings. i also gave them all a coat of finish and will do the 2nd coat tomorrow. i love seeing them all lined up in neat colour-coded rows while they dry. unfortunately, you'll just have to use your imagination for now...

so with the camera still in the shop, i have to find things to blog about that can include pictures from the web. somehow i was led to facehunter tonight while looking through one of my contact's pics on flickr. what a great discovery! it's another one of those street style websites like wardrobe_remix or hel looks (although there are a million of them out there now).

here are 4 of my favourites from tonight's perusing (in no particular order):
i love the ruffles and little wicker case.



i'm a sucker for a red dress and those tennis-ball-sized beads are such fun!



trapeze dresses are so cute and the big ladybug applique is adorable.



i plan on continuing to build my collection of coloured tights this fall/winter and i'd love a pair in this electric shade.


i'll have 4 more pictures to share tomorrow...
