 Finally I caught the magic hour for an outfit session. It's been such a beautiful and snow free winter, I can't believe I'm home. It feels so uncharacteristic of this place. I guess I was in the mood to see some of the white stuff and went to see The Grey. It was so insane and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Tim's review was "riveting." Ha! It was one of the best I've seen in a while

We may make it through the war if we make it through the night

I love my new Asos bag! I spent weeks shopping online for a leather satchel with a top handle under 13" I scored this on sale for $24. Lucky lucky! 

Winterlude

      So if you haven't noticed, it snowed a whole bunch, causing my current dilemma of deciding on an appropriate winter boot. The last couple of years, I was only briefly in the snow on holiday and got by using polyurethane booties because they were cheap and reasonable cute. Now that I'm here to stay, I want something with a little more quality. One necessity is a good tread and I prefer natural material. I made the dive and got a pair of Dr. Martens 1460. They are really rugged, but now that the snow is so unavoidable at this point, I'm afraid the leather will get ruined from the weather and salt. I'm just going to treat them, wear them on rotation, and see how it goes. Fingers crossed.

DIY: Collar Tips

      This is my first DIY post! The project came about leaving empty handed while looking for triangular pieces in the jewelry section of craft stores all over town. Before I jumped on the internet, I stumbled across this happy accident at my first trip since getting back in town to the thrift store on Peach. Browsing the belts I noticed that certain ones had tips that were very close to what I was looking for, so I picked up a couple that matched.

To start, I removed the tips from the belts by hand (pliers
might be helpful here). On one, I retained a rivet which
provided a stable base to affix the Pinback.

The materials I used to change these belt
tips into collar tips were: a Hot Glue Gun,
3/4" Broach Pinbacks, and Toothpicks

Run a line of Hot Glue inside of the belt tip from rivet point to
rivet point.

Affix the Pinbacks to the Hot Glue by pressing them down with
Toothpicks to secure. Wait for the glue to set.

And... Taa Da!
