Owl Love You Forever
I made an album on Facebook yesterday called “Crazy Thrifted Buys” because yesterday at the thrift store, I bought three things that my husband would undoubtedly roll his eyes at: this vintage 70’s gown(which I adore regardless), this early 60’s shift (which is just random and I couldn’t resist), and the dress I am wearing… which was once a kind of hideous 80’s romper. DIY post will be forthcoming later.But you guys, the more pregnant I get, the heavier my addiction to pure vintage craziness grows. I see things on the rack and think “Oh, that looks insane, I’m going to try it on!” I just don’t show you…

Updated skincare regimen
After a long stint of using BeautyMint – which I still would highly recommend if you want an easy, efficient skincare set that you don’t have to think about – I’ve decided to branch out and try some different products. As much as I like BeautyMint products, I did have a problem with how unevenly the products ran out. Without fail, the cleanser always ran out long before anything else. I can be a somewhat sporadic skincare user, but I did use everything (except the SPF) pretty equally. And at the moment, I have in my stock of unopened BeautyMint products: 1 cleanser, 2 moisturizers, 4 replenishing serums, 4 eye…

The Ocean Shores
Mr. Owl and I took a vacation to the ocean yesterday; it being Labor Day, he had the day off (a rare occasion!), so we took a much-needed trip away from home. I have been wanting and needing to get away for a while. With all the wedding planning now, vacations are even more appreciated! Especially when they’re to the ocean. I have always loved the ocean. We spent almost the entire day there, wasting time laying in the sun that warmed the sand-dunes, listening to the constant roar of ocean, chasing waves and being chased by waves. By the end of the day we were pleasantly tired, mentally rested…

30 Days of Dresses: For rainy days.
Because of the 30 Days of Dresses challenge, I’ve postponed my usual Midweek Inspiration post. That, and I haven’t been reading blogs as faithfully as I usually do this week, so I didn’t find anything I particularly wanted to reinterpret my own way. I just realized that when I’m wearing dresses, I tend to style them as though they are skirts. Such as on day one, when I wore a cardigan over the dress so it looked like a skirt, or today (day three), when I folded the top of the dress under so… it basically is a skirt. With a bodice folded down. I just don’t tend to know quite…

Farm Girl
I feel very, very farm-girl-esque today. I don’t know what it is about this outfit, but something about it just makes me think of… a farm. Interesting fact about me (maybe, or maybe it’s a boring fact): I grew up on a farm. We didn’t have a lot of animals– just chickens, dogs, cats, and brothers– but it was a farm nonetheless. We had a garden (I remember corn and tomatoes, mostly), a little orchard full of apples, and bears that would sleep in the grass in our front yard. This neighborhood is the closest thing I’ve gotten to city living. And it further cements my desire to live in…
