wishlist for our home // pops of color

i am so bored with the place we live in…meh area, old cabinets, ugly carpet, horrible natural lighting, horizontal metal blinds and the worst ever on the planet wall-papered bathroom…not to mention, we’re renters.  which means we can’t do a whole lot to our place unless we ask first.  in the next couple of weeks, we plan to sit down and come up with a list of “upgrades” that might behoove the owner in the event that we move out and others move in.  in the meantime, i’ve been searching etsy for pieces of furniture, vintage knick knacks and other wacky finds that might add a bit of character to our humble {slightly out-dated} abode.  the collage above includes a few of my faves…enjoy!

shop style // inspired by brittany of itty bitty bomb

on a recent thrift trip, i came across these rad pants and just couldn’t say no.  they are currently for sale in the shop!

tribal print cropped pants

 …and while i’m sure many of you are thinking, “um, the 90s called…they want their pants back.”  – these tribal print cropped pants couldn’t be more on trend. 

in fact, check out the beautiful brittany of itty bitty bomb!  she paired a similar style with a baggy blouse and wedges.  so cute! 

{see more photos here.  thanks, brittany!}

i’m hoping to make this a regular feature on the blog – where i’ll combine vintage pieces in my shop with styling ideas and inspiration. 

stay tuned!

bf+v loves // little knitty things

there’s nothing i love more than supporting a fellow blogger and/or etsy shop owner – and if i can give you a heads up on a great seller or product…you bet i’m gonna!

today, i’d like to introduce Little Knitty Things by mel of une vie geniale !  mel offers adorable knit hats and headbands in an array of colors and styles.  have something specific in mind?  she also accepts custom orders!

i contacted mel several months ago about knitting an owl hat for zoey.  we discussed size, colors, style, price, etc and within a couple of weeks…we had the adorable hat you see above!  the quality is solid, the materials soft, the style exactly what i wanted, and mel was so wonderful to work with!

whether you’re looking for a unique gift idea or something nice for yourself, please keep Little Knitty Things in mind.

you can still win a $50 credit to the shop!  visit yesterday’s post for deets on how to enter. 
and i know what you’re thinking…”paige, why would i enter a contest to win $50 towards a shop that’s closing?” 

good question.  i have an answer…

people, i’m not out of vintage.  i have a guest bedroom full of it…coats, boots, bolos, dresses, pants, etc…it will be sold…either on consignment through another etsy shop or maybe even via my blog…so…i will not disappoint you.  i promise.  if you enter and win, you’ll be able to put $50 to good use!

oh…and if you’re on a budget, but really like an item…make an offer!

now go shopping!  ;)
