Vintage Shopping

So i've realized something...so many pieces of clothing sold nowadays tend to look exactly like vintage clothes, but are over priced. I'm mainly talking about one store in particular, which would be Urban Outfitters. I've always loved Urban Outfitters, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I just feel like they can be a bit pricy.

Something i've noticed was the oversized sweaters that they were selling for around $60 to $70!

A solution to this? Vintage clothing! Thrift stores can be a little overwhelming, and sometimes scary to people. I know for me, it was the smell. If you look hard enough, it's easy to find clothing for much cheaper.

The vintage section of Etsy has a bunch of cute clothes. Here are a few cute thing i've found on etsy:

Babycakes, my new love.

Recently i've come across a few items that are so incredibly cute and make baking so much easier!

I'm sure a lot of you have heard of cake pops? Well...I stumbled across a cake pop maker! But not only cake pops, the Babycakes Shop sells all kinds of cute makers!


The cake pop maker...how easy is that to make cake pops? They aren't the traditional crumbled cake mixed with icing, but rather the cake batter cooks in the form of a ball. What I like about this is that they aren't as sweet.


The cupcake maker. I love this, not only can you make cupcakes, but all kinds of things such as small pizzas and mini pot pies!


The pie maker. It's currently not available, but it's coming soon.

Of course, there are many cute other products at the Babycakes shop.

I definitly suggest checking it out. Some of these makers are going on my christmas list for sure ;)

The new shop!

Owl Feathers...would be my brand new etsy shop!!

I'm currently in the works of adding a ton of new items to the shop. I eventually want to branch out of the normal, which at my shop is jewelry, and add hair accessories and other cute accessories. (Scarves?).


I'm also working on adding supplies to my shop, so you can now diy your own jewelry and crafts!!




Hope everyone's having a good week!

Red Hair Dye Experience

Guess who has red in her hair?!? Yep you guessed it, I finally managed to get the time to put color in my hair. I've been wanting to do this for a very long time, but I was either too scared or did not have the time.



Overall, I was very happy with the result of the color. It was very bright and vibrant. Although I had originally wanted it a darker red color, I still love the color that it turned out to be.





My advice for self-bleaching hair, would be to make sure to leave the bleach in for the maximum time, especially if you have dark brown/black hair. I technically did not need ot leave it in a long amount of time because I was putting another color over top. I was actually scared at one point, because since I only left the bleach in for about half of the time, and being as this is the first time I had ever done something like this, my bleached hair ended up looking like an orange coor rather than blonde.




Once my hair was nice and bleached, used Manic Panic Pillarbox Red color. The color was a bit brighter than I had thought. It looks more of a hot pink, especially in the sun.


Have you ever dyed your hair an unnatural color, or would you every consider it?

Fashion Alert!! Spotted Moth.

I think I just fell in love with the clothing from . So cute! I have such an itch to buy more clothing for summer, but I know I shouldn't considering I've already reached my spending limit! I think I have some sort of addiction to buying clothes, ah well, it's better than being addicted to drugs, right?

A few pieces from Spotted Moth:

Tumblr Inspiration

For a while now i've been using tumblr quite often. I just love this site, there are so many different inspiring images to be found. My tumblr can be found here: http://owllfeathers.tumblr.com/.
All of these images below were taken off of tumblr.



















I've always wanted to dye my hair this color. It may happen soon, because I have already boughten the bleach and red hair dye. I don't think I am going to dye my entire head, but maybe just a few highlights. Not sure, we'll have to see! :)



So, another update! I arranged all of my fabric today. Step one of the etsy shop process, I guess. I'm still not finished yet with school, finals are next week, so after that i'll have a lot more free time!


I also ordered a few new pieces of clothing from Forever 21 today! It was much needed, i'm more of a fall/winter girl and I really don't have much clothing for warmer weather. I would much rather wear tights, scarves, and hats all year long!!

An Update...Finally?!?

Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a post in order to finally update this blog. It seems as though it's been so long since my last post. Well, I guess the fact was that I needed to take a little break from my blog and shop. The past couple of months have been crazy. I've mainly been working on a lot of drawings for my college portfolio, and keeping up with school work.

After a long absence, i'd like to announce that well, i'm finally back! Within the next month or two I will be working on setting up a completely new etsy shop. It's going to be a surprise, so there is not much I can say about it. Everyone will just have to wait and see. All I can say, is that it is going to have a new style than the last.

I will be updating the blog more regularly. With updates of the upcomming shop, and tons of new inspiration.

Hope to talk to you guys again soon, and hopefully everyone didn't completely abandom my blog :O.
