Wedged In

Today we were having really nice weather. Sun was shining, birds were singing, sky was blue. So naturally my mind drifted over to the summer, and all the nice clothes I get to wear. My favorite shoes for summer weather are wedges. They are comfy, bright, and show off my pedi, all while giving me the much needed height boost. Here are some styles I am craving right now:

He may be an ass on project Runway, but Michael Kors knows how to design pretty shoes

Double It Up

So I took a break last night from blogging. Why? I was exhausted! Why? Because people suck. Thursday nights I do this volunteer legal thing where we help people being sued by credit card companies and collectors. We get a lot of visitors and our degree of service is VERY particular. Yet every week there a conversation like this:

Drunk guy who reeks of cigarettes: Yo can you help me?

Me: What is the problem?

Drunk: I am being sued by this schmuck for medical bills for when I punched him in the face at the bar

Me: I am very sorry but we can't help you. We only help with credit card debt.

Drunk: But you're an attorney! And I need a f----ng attorney!

Me: *sigh* [begins spiel] Attorneys are like doctors, we all have our own specialties. Some do criminal law, others do corporate, we do CREDIT CARD DEBT!

Drunk guy opens his mouth to say something rude, and at this point our 6 foot 4 volunteer comes over and asks if there is a problem. Drunk guy spits on the floor and leaves. And this happens EVERY SINGLE WEEK. And people get mad when they don't get seen even though we are volunteers, and we want to help, but can't. So yea, I was tired. So here is a Saturday post for you.

Lately I have been wearing 2 rings on one hand, on my pointer and middle fingers. Why? Because I like it =) I have been wanting a double-ring since I was like 16. Yes, waaaaay before Lauren Conrad made them popular. So I decided to see and here are some picks that caught my eye for one reason or another.

So badass!

Classic shape. I'm sure you can get it engraved or something.

My favorite! It is so dainty, and yet special somehow...LOVE

A little weird, but this style would not impede your typing.

buy here or if you want something A LOT cheaper then buy HERE

The Olsens can do no wrong as far as I am concerned! I just wish their stuff was cheaper.

buy here

Not quite a double ring but the talon goes over two fingers so it counts.

buy here

Forget what I said earlier...THIS is my favorite!! So pretty and feminine, but still badass because it is a double ring. Kinda like my own little dirty secret...muahahahha

buy here

And this one is just WoW, but so relevant because of the Drunk Guy story. And this is why you should read the words too and not just look at the pretty pictures.

We're All Mad Here...

Words cannot express how excited I am about the new Alice In Wonderland movie by Tim Burton coming to theaters this weekend!!! I read Carroll's books numerous times, I saw all the cartoons and quote it all the time...I will not say I am obsessed, but I do truly love the story. I also love Tim Burton and his work, so I am expecting this movie to be amazing...

To celebrate the release this weekend, I decided to combine my Etsy Thursday with Alice...and let's say I went a little bit crazy =)

I am so in love with this pendant that I decided to post the pic even though it is sold out ='(

Etsy Thursday

My job blocks all the blogs, so when I have some downtime and I am not farming on FarmVille [addictive like crack!] I browse Etsy. While it is an amazing resource, a lot of the stuff sold there is pretty *ahem* craptastic. Sometimes it literally takes me hours to find something even remotely interesting, but there are definitely many gems to be found there. Since I wish there was someone who was willing to weed through thousands of listing for me, I figure since I am already weeding myself I can help someone else. So every Thursday I will post my picks from Etsy for your enjoyment.

Today I was looking for some decorative ceramic plates. While I did not find what I was looking for, I did find some pretties I want to share.

These make me think of Spring...*le sigh*

Awesome Polaroid Art

I recently stumbled upon these composites made by Patrick Winfield and I am in love. All of these collages are comprised of many individual polaroids...how cool is that?!? Here are some of my favorites:
