christmas shopping at the antique barn

the zipper was stuck

I warned her it had happened to me before. "Oh, I won't get stuck," she insisted. After about ten hilarious, sweaty minutes of two of us tugging on either side, the dress finally came off and our status as friends was confirmed (having not wandered off and pretended not to know her). The best part? There was no dressing room at that thrift store.

The second best part? That dude in the background that is pointing and oggling.

i splurged

I can't ever get out of Target without spending at least $50. It's just the way of things. I've been buying the new Orla Kiely home items in random pieces. So cheap for Orla, yet not so pocketbook friendly for the girl on a budget (i mean, $7 for a mug, and $15 for a 4 pack of napkins. really?). But I was hungry and stressed, and my defenses were low. I gleefully purchased 2 new mugs and the cutest bowl. They're both pretty darn happy looking in my kitchen!
And just as I thought I had spent all I could on that cold Thursday night, I got a gander at these little beauties.
I almost bought a pair months ago online, but was too lazy to order them.

my life is now complete.
