etsy love

I have major love for etsy.com.  I find myself going there first when in search of... well, anything and everything, really!  

Inspired by the many fashion/design blogs I read on the regular, I have decided to give a post of this nature a shot, and share a collage of some sweet Etsy finds.  Enjoy!

top 10 !

Happy New Year ! Late, I know! However, also quite early if you celebrate the Chinese New Year. Which personally, I use as a marker to have my lists and goals for the year on paper. It gives me an extra month. This year it falls on Valentine's Day. So I am working on that list now. Speaking of lists, I would like to share with you my current top 10 favorite spots to lurk on the internets.

1.) heckasac

Local Sacramento blogger.

2.) this time tomorrow

Fashion blog from RENO ♥.

3.) the voracious vegan

Vegan feminist being rad in Saudi Arabia.

4.) taste spotting

This is basically a search engine for food. You type in any kind of food or dish and it will pull up all sorts of different links to recipes and such. It is awesome! (This is good for the random veggie I come home from the farmer's market with and have NO clue how to prepare it.. I just type the name in the little search box and voila, tons of different recipes with cute lil preview polaroid style pics)

5.) i love typography

Because I really could stare at typeface all day long.

6.) this is why you're fat

Because it's just so nasty.

7.) pam's house blend

Keeping me in the know.

8.) style rookie

I, along with the whole world, have fallen in love with this 13 year old fashion blogger. (Who recently got a bit of heat at the Dior fashion show for wearing this hat)

9.) design for mankind

Inspires.

10.) my love for you is a stampede of horses

Art blog that I really enjoy.

I can't stop at 10! Here's one more:

++ ) third and delaware

Just trust me... this one is good!

cuffs and bows & arrows !

ps. I spent my New Year's Eve in Austin Texas with my homies from way back when. Eli came with me and it was a major blast. Check out the pics.
