thinkin pink

I don’t consider myself someone who enjoys the color pink but I have been surprised with how much I have worn lately. Below I have included some examples as well as pink eye candy that I can appreciate.
 

 yellow party//2004//pink streaks
top & jacket//vintage, earrings//borrowed

Coat//Coffee Shop, Collar Shirt//H&M, Hoodie//Volcom, Purse//Urban Outfitters, Jeans//Express via TJ Maxx, Boots//Vintage
Days ago I sported this jacket by Coffee Shop that was handed down to me by a previous roommate, not my fav color in the world-but free-can’t turn that down.

heaven.

//balloons are always on the dome//
This top is one of the treasures found at the Atlanta Salvation Army. I thought it was a female shirt (being pink and all) but it’s actually for a male-I solved the length issue with tying the front into a bow.

Paired with my vintage messenger bag from high school, Gap Cords & BC Footwear kicks.

Tonight I am cooking with my neighbor, watching weeds and getting ready to hit the open road to visit my sweetie.

I Wish Wednesday

I wish I could eat AS MUCH junk food as I pleased without gaining a pound! Included but not limited to: Cheesecake, Milky Ways, French Fries, Peanut M&Ms, Ben & Jerry’s

I wish I could make it to one of these folks’ yard sales.  can  you imagine?!
(CobraSnake, Cory Kennedy, Steve Aoki…)

I wish to always be able to let loose & shake it like a robot.

I wish that my sweetie & I find a place half this cool in ATL


Today I wished to get a job and it happened! Not a dream job (Belk Women’s Shoes, FULL TIME) but I do need to earn some dough in order to hit the open road this summer. My new job requires a small commute of 45 minutes but it’s a very large mall and I would make way more than the Belk here in town.  I start on Tuesday so for the next couple of days I will be enjoying my last days of total freedom.

Dumpster Diver

On a Sunday afternoon bike ride to meet up with Kjo on the Quad I stumbled upon some junk that was screaming my name.  I picked through the rubbish taking home four of the coolest dumpster finds ever!
 

DIY kids t-shirt, vintage globe, vintage lock box, vintage National Geographic March 1988-these people had great taste!

I’m no pansy when it comes to dirt!

Detail photo of the adorable gold cruiser that I couldn’t resist becoming giddy about..

During this adventure I cycled through my favorite historic neighborhoods taking in sights & snapping some photos of my all time fav houses.
(above) Look at that trim, this family would have to be pretty cool to have picked colors so grand as those!

The stone gates a couple blocks from my house will be missed when I leave the historic area-which I love dearly.

I would love to sip coffee in the mornings around my plants on that sun porch!

treasures! treasures!

scarf-vintage, shirt-diy American Apparel, shorts-diy 7 for all Mankind (they are soo comfy if I put them on they usually get worn for multiple days), bracelet-vintage, kicks-Walmart-Coachella08

check out that seating area on the porch, adorable.
(this house is up for sale, sigh)

this drawing makes me laugh every time I take a looky!

I have different ideas for these objects such as the globe which will later be turned into 2 lamps. This is so easy, you simply split the globe at the ‘equator’ and assemble a light kit using the holes from the stand. Trim or other decoration can be added or the simple half dome will work. I have been using the National Geographic for Valentines Day cards and other Mod Podging crafts. Speaking of crafts-tonight was spent hanging with gals crafting it up.

Hope you all don’t mind the million photos of my daily adventures..
that’s all for now..

Friday was my ‘going all out’ night starting at El Rincon with some friends having a couple Modelos & then road bikes with my neighbor to a bonfire party.  It was loads of fun with many many laughs.  After I started looking at the photos I took from that night I realized my outfit had been worn before, and THEN I uploaded a friends cam for her and found more pictures of that outfit. not that big of a deal I just thought the pics from the Mellow Mushroom with all my gal pals turned out cute. take a looky.

Andrea & I with our whiskey concoctions & fire

roof top party

The evening wasn’t that cold but gloves were def needed for riding my bike. I choose the best pair I have which are vintage leather xtra long pair I found on Ebay about a year ago.

I love this bucket purse, one of my favorite accessories and was found in the lamest place ever (Centreville, Alabama)

The night at the Shroom was a rainy one and so I had to tote along this guy I found at a thrift store somewhere in Bamaland, Kjo got a real kick out of it and took this funny picture.
