My cool neighbors had a yard sale.

Don't you love it when your neighbors have a yard sale?  I do, I love peeking at the things they're getting rid of.  It's a non-committal way to know them a bit better.  Well, recently our neighbors had a yard sale and 'get to know them better' we did.  Turns out they have a booth at the local antique mall and were looking to unload some of their wares in a different venue.  Which loosely translates into 'major score' for me.  Scarves for when I don't want to wash my hair, new lamp and clock for the nightstand, trays for party times, and random accessories. 

Yes.

Thanks for the stuff awesome neighbors!

Summertime Pals

In the summertime, accessories are my true pals.  Best buds.  Favorite friends.  Since I basically only wear v-necks and jeans, I often find the need to pretty-up with some easy add-ons.  Luckily for me, Catalog Deconstruction  |  1 has partially arrived! 

I say partially simply because I only purchased a partial amount of my catalog desires.  But that's okay (and appropriate!), because I found that creating the little wish list went a long way in satisfying my shopping itch.

While I was searching online over at Nordstrom for this scarf, I stumbled upon these sandals which could very easily have been included in my Tangerine Tango board (p.s. I ended up needing to go up one-half a size on these babies to find the right fit).  Oh, and a summertime scarf?  Yes!  I took it along to the theater when Arie and I saw Safety Not Guaranteed.  I used it in place of my normal movie theater hoodie.  I felt very elegant in my wrap, and it was much less distracting to use the scarf than to deal with pulling on/off my sweatshirt to suit my changing temperature needs.

What are your favorite summertime accessories?

Sinceres,
