Yeah, I don’t know why I’m showing you images of growth as the earth prepares to shed its skin. Maybe my brain thinks I’m in the southern hemisphere or something. So this is for my southern babes. Have a great spring. Vintage Italian Green Coat by Bottega Vintage Organic Vegan Soap in Mocha by Elysian [...]

Remember my idea to decorate my office with sea-themed decor? Scratch at least one of the bobbles I listed, because I just stumbled upon the perfect piece. How. Cool. Is that. It’s like some sort of octopus jellyfish coral reef giraffe sort of thing. My boyfriend will be so creeped out. Porcelain Carved Vessel by [...]
