Gudonya Too
Sep 22nd
My shower is seriously lacking. This is what happens when you become unemployed though. I just don’t have the luxury of buying whatever I want. I’m used to having a shower over flowing with soaps, creams, and smelly good stuff. I look forward to that day again!
One of my first bath purchases will most certainly be from Gudonya Too. I go geeky for their Whipped Clean. Forget that ordinary body wash. Try this! Grab your bath pouf and you’ve got enough bubbles and aroma for a car wash!
Why is it called Whipped Clean? That’s easy – it looks like whipped cream but that phrase was already taken. It’s a pretty solid mixture that lathers easily in the hardest of waters and is kind to your skin. I think the Strawberry Fields Whipped Clean looks great so that’s the one I’d snag for myself.
Oh, and don’t let me forget to mention that this is Vegan friendly! Go Vegan!
Carrie Bilbo
Sep 21st
I’m a sucker for accessories. I’m a less is more type gal. I like simple. I know. I know. I’ve said this a million times on this very blog. I’m just trying to reiterate my preferences.
You wouldn’t believe how excited I was to discover Carrie Bilbo yesterday. Nylon Magazine described Carrie’s work as “ridiculously edgy and chilling, but also impeccably crafted and wearable.” I couldn’t help but agree!
It was love at first sight for me and the small blue druse ring. It’s made hand fabricated sterling silver ring with a really unique and beautiful bezel set light aqua blue druse quartz over crysocolla stone. Such a simple beauty! It would go with just about anything and be such a perfect everyday ring for me. I’m swooning and only wish I had the $150 to make this purchase. What a stunner!
Bonnie’s Knitting
Sep 21st
It’s a blustery one in Washington today. Here I thought I was going to see sun all week. That’s what I get for listening to those silly weather forecasters on tv. The past few mornings I’ve woken up and seen sun shining through my windows but not this morning. It’s back to dark and gloomy.
I’m on the look out for a great hat and when I found Bonnie’s Knitting I instantly pulled out my credit card and started to shop. My heart is weak for a shop full of retro hats. I actually saw a bunch of hats in this style last week at a big box retailer but I refrained from purchasing because I like quality. You find quality with handmade.
My favorite is the vintage houndstooth one. I thought it was a black and white one and almost instantly bought it but upon enlarging the item discovered it was a dark hunter green and had to draw back. I’m still totally gaga for it though!
This is a 1920s style cloche made with a vintage wool blend in dark pine green and white. The houndstooth check is very bold and retro. The wool is quite soft and almost fuzzy as you can see in the photos. This is a medium to heavy weight wool and would be great for fall and winter.
