My mom bought this A&E shirt for me because their company happens to be as old as I am. Luckily for me, it’s actually a nice t with the slogan ‘Love Your Planet’ across it with a bonus tree design. Perfect for me. Paired with a longer sleeve underneath and my gradient scarf, it was perfect for a November day.

Tricked out in my favorite faerie jacket with the most amazing hood I’ve ever seen in my life (I need a picture of the back, then you’ll definitely agree) and a lovely diadem, I was an elf for Halloween 2011. The jacket was bought from Imp and Pixie and the diadem from the Olde English Faire in Peoria, IL earlier that year.

I love making Halloween oufits based on things around the house.

These earrings. I love them. Especially paired with this shirt. Not so much with the necklace. Usually I’m a one or the other person, but I couldn’t decide that day. So, both!

Unfortunately the blue shirt got a terrible stain on the front and side so it is no longer in commission.

I bought a number of adorable flower clips of etsy and was so so excited to wear them. Also visible is my grizzly jacket, a gift from the mother-in-law. And one of my many threadless shirts.

Why is this such a ridiculous shot? Well. I was at school and had my camera set up and then a bunch of people started coming out because of classes ending and rather than take a few different shots bold as hell, I just leaned in for a quick shot and scampered.

What? Faeries are shy.

Colors! I love them. This is a shot of my nailpolish circa January 2011. Unfortunately, a number of them are no longer with us due to the interfering nature of small children.

I bought this ring to wear since Andy hates that I don’t ever wear my wedding ring. But I lose rings like crazy so I don’t want to wear a ring that special all the time. So enter the $20 ring from a celtic faire. The perfect supplement.

Bought in 2010, lost in 2011. May it rest in peace, wherever it is.

I love this pendant. So hilariously charming! Or creepy… depending on your preference. I bought it off etsy from Gearbunny.

A friend of mine gave me this after I got my ears pierced. I’ve had them for ages and they are my favorites. It takes a great friend to know the perfect type of jewelry to give.

I bought this during one of our big family roadtrips. The lady who made it assured me that it was made from true alaskan shell that she picked herself off the coast when she used to live up there. She sold all sorts of jewelry made from shells she’d found.
