I ❤ HEADBANDS!!

2012-01-27T20:13:00.000-08:00

listen, ever since i got my hair professionally straightened, i've entered the world of headbands! and i'm like really obsessed with them now!

i got four cute ones during my asian travels, and i'm lucky that my friend from work, kristen, has now opened her own ETSY store! it's not quite ready for company, but when it is, i'll post the 411!

this flower is handmade, hand stitched, hand beaded. it's fabulous!

thai shoesies!

2012-01-24T10:25:00.000-08:00

they're cushioned on the inside and just conform so well to my footies!

THAI STRIPES!

2012-01-23T15:31:00.000-08:00

i love shopping in thailand, and this is one of the cute striped tops i got. it's so cozy and comfy and long with long, long sleeves perfect for the thai beach and chicago winters!

it has a red heart and a girl stitched on it, and i think she's walking a dog. i cannot tell what the writing says. at all! but i love it!

LFIEE thai sweater :D

2012-01-20T09:57:00.000-08:00

thai sweater "lfiee"

this is just one of the many cute sweaters i got in thailand. i love it for many reasons:

1) it's long and long sleeved
2) there are happy bears on it
3) "LIFE" is grossly misspelled :D
4) and i love that it's misspelled!
