fryday

this belt from forever 21...i love it!
i saw a girl wearing the slouchy grey boot and mini skirt look last nite...quite cute. i'm going to track down a picture of it.

today is:
* finding wholesale tees and hoodies
* scanning and sending designs
*which fabric paints to use
*picking out content for my website
*narrowing down the look for my site....kitschy cute and colorful--flash fun--clean profesh????
*business planning

target yet again!

well, its official almost all my clothes come from target now. gotta love the go! international lines. this is the august first debut from paul & joe, yet another french label. anyway, these are my fav looks for now. you can see the rest here.

menswear

i think this is the type of suit my boyfriend should wear.

window treatments

still looking for curtains for my new room. i never do the window treatment thing...but my mom loves the world of window treatments and always encourages me to buy curtains...so i've been looking for some as of late. not sure what i should go for, my taste varies from the bamboo rollup shades to these seen here...bird cage curtains. my room is smallish and already quite colorful, so i should probably go for a more toned down shade.

renegade purchases

first stop was fred flare's sidewalk sale where i did most of my buying for the day. i usually scan the whole show first, then go back to buy...but sometimes that just doesn't work out as planned and i forget what i wanted to buy. so, this time i just bought first. i got great deals on this umbrella tee i wanted and the heartfelt tee. and i just couldn't pass up these bear salt and pepper shakers which will make meal time even more fun than it already is!

also, i bought a mint green apple necklace from the austin craft mafia's table, but i cannot find it on any of their websites! its soooo adorable though.

80%20

i just felt like posting this lux top i saw on urban outfitters. this is a typical abi shirt. i always love what lux does for them. i was guided to 80%20's site via a nylonmag newsletter. i've seen 80%20's low skimmers, but i've never seen the high tops till today. theres something about cute hightops with capris or long shorts that i love...i guess it just reminds me of summer.

love these clothes from paper bird clothing, based in canada. i never can understand why more people don't make dresses. even the gap. they carry staple pieces, but never a good dress. anyway, i love her designs.

renegade brooklyn 2006

yay for renegade this weekend! this is actually last year's poster...but i just wanted to put something up. last year i just missed renegade brooklyn...it sounded so great i actually wanted to fly to chicago's in september. i've been to crazy bastard's art fair in DC, which was awesome...but renegade has every artist that inspires me. can't wait! hopefully it will be a gorgeous summer day on saturday.

loving the umblrella tee by fred flare, that was inspired by Catherine Deneuve’s famous film, 1964’s “The Umbrellas
of Cherbourg”.
Also, this is studio of rosylittlethings. it's so adorable. i'm going to use this as a bit of inspiration for my bedroom. i cannot decorate my apartment in my taste yet, due to roommates, so i'll focus on cuting up my room.

oooh la la erin fetherston.

wallpaper is cool again

2 pics via ohjoyblogs...i love this idea too. a wallpaper that you can decorate yourelf, by adding your own artwork & pics to the frames. pretty cool.

i love this tee i found on etsy. the seller's name is citizen jane.
i also got a little tip from another seller. she waters down fabric paint and then paints with stencils onto the tees. that may be just what i need to do for my abblesauce designs!!!!!!!

I wanted to put the link up from domino's little black book of sites they love.


now, im just going to play with the link feature. i always mean to do links, but i get lazy!!!!

Email me!

Lately I've been checking out the artwork on these two blogs:

theblackapple

hello-tina

Just an image from the nytimes email i get about style. i still love this owl hoodie from keep company. there's something about summer that makes me want hoodies. i guess its the mild beach nights and the hope of a beach thunderstorm. can't wait for the beach this weekend!

today, after work, i pack my apartment. i'm afraid that i don't have room for my cute diner table in the new place. not sure what to do with it yet. mom's coming and we're painting the walls and cleaning the carpets...ugh a lot of work.

also, today i find out about my credit report and what the payment would be on that cute golf that might be mine! oh to be able to go on road trips again!
