Things I Love Thursday


    I love Thursday posts simply so I can rummage around the internet and pick my favorite things to share with y'all. I'm a firm believer in looking at and partaking in fun lovely lists being a great way to start your day! I mean, I guess it's a lot more exciting than looking at ugly/dumb stuff when you first wake up, right?! Here's my list for this wonderful week! xo

    this pretty pretty room ♥


    ♥ this pretty painting ♥


    this hilarious photo ♥


    this pretty typographic print ♥


    ♥ this statement by president obama ♥


    this adorable little girl ♥


    ♥ this too-true meme ♥


    ♥ this "feminism isn't anti-men" poster ♥


    ♥ these balloons ♥

    ♥ this quote ♥

    Other Awesome Things: Tomorrow is Oktoberfest in my hometown! It's pretty much my favorite weekend of the year. Massive yard sales. Digging through a bunch of crap. Getting awesome vintage for dirt cheap. We'll be getting busy alllllll day! Can't wait! ♥ Had an awesome coffee date (read: smoothing/lemonade date) with Elle yesterday. We chatted for a few hours about life and all that jazz. It's always enjoyable! ♥ Making the bed every morning and turning on all of our "bedroom" lights as to not tempt myself with crawling back in bed.

    Window Shopping: If you liked my Cat print tapestry shoes but prefer dogs, well, you're in luck! The Lana is now available in Dog tapestry! ♥ These are the hot pink version of AWESOME! ♥ These would be perfect for a badass girls' night on the town! ♥ OH MY GAW! You have not seen wild shoes until you see all things related to Finsk... particularly THESE! Holy moly! And that price tag! ♥

    And in a slight change of pace, the passing of Apple's Steve Jobs.


    I was absolutely amazed to see how overcome Twitter was yesterday when I found out. The President said it best when he made mention that the majority of people would hear of his passing via a product he invented. I sat there holding my iPhone and it all made sense. I know to many it seems silly to get upset over one person's passing when hundreds, if not thousands, of people are being Maced and tazed at Occupy Wall Street. While they both deserve their merits, Steve Jobs single-handedly molded my career and he was a visionary to say the least. I have been brand loyal to Apple for many years, and I wouldn't have the degree that I do if it weren't for his products. To see people leave notes on Apple stores' walls, to see them leave apples (some with one bite taken out) outside the door... it's moving. Apple won't be the same without him as CEO (as we've already seen from his step down in August). His influence will linger for a while and eventually fade, but his legacy is so engrained into all of us that we'll always remember. I've gone from iPhone to MacBook Pro, and now to my iMac as I gather stuff for this very post. His genius will be missed. If you haven't heard/seen/read Jobs' 2005 Stanford commencement speech, please do! It's amazing. He preached living your life to the fullest, staying hungry and foolish, and making the most of your time. You'll probably cry, just sayin' (if you're me. And I cry at AT&T commercials.)

    And while we're on the general idea... Occupy Wall Street.

    I'm sure everyone and their mother knows what's going on by now. If you dont, please educate yourself! Here is the Website, Wiki, and up to the minute news coverage regarding the Occupation. Thousands of peaceful protesters are being arrested, pepper sprayed, and beaten with batons. The occupation has spread to many other cities (including Nashville, as of today). No matter where you stand on the situation, I urge you to check out THIS Tumblr account... you might just find yourself saying "Hey, that's me!" when you read a few of them.  It's scary to think that a college degree might not be a dream come true after all.

    I feel like Thursdays come at warp speed. They're kind of like my Sundays in regard to work. Fridays sneak up on me like a bad cold. Still, it's fun to round up a bunch of pretty things to share with you here on Thursdays. I try to not post too many of them onto my Tumblr, but a few slip through no doubt. I'm an impatient person but anyway, here's this week's installment! xo

    ♥ this collage of the many faces of amy poehler ♥


    this pretty pink ombre hair ♥


    this awesome poster. really? what is the difference? ♥


    this pretty pretty keyboard decorated with washi tape! ♥


    ♥ this and all things ron swanson ♥


    ♥ this very interesting social experiment ♥


    this beautiful vintage coat ♥


    ♥ this beautiful photo ♥


    ♥ this amazing costume! ♥



    ♥ this. and all other memes. ♥

    Other Awesome Things: The PadMapper app for the iPhone (and padmapper.com!) The perfect website to show apartments/houses for rent via CraigsList but on a map! It's an amazing website if you have a wanderlust heart like me (thanks to Kelli for the tip several months ago!) ♥ Getting Honeybean designer goods in the mail! I can't wait to stock the shoppe full of them! ♥ Making a ton of new hairpieces for Hive + Honey ♥ Having a fire in my heart to make Honeybean a success and to open a brick and mortar ♥ Daydreaming about a quaint town and our little house, a small garden and a backyard for the pups. I can't wait! ♥ Getting my other shin tattooed tomorrow! Then it's on to color!

    No window shopping this week! Just way too busy! What are you loving this week, Honeybees?!

    As always, if you know the original source for anything not linked, please leave it in a comment below and I'll be so appreciative! I'll link it ASAP! xo


    PS; I entered a little contest to win a KitchenAid Artisan Mixer (dreamy!) and all you have to do is click "Vote" (with Twitter or Facebook). It doesn't log into your stuff and do anything funky, I promise. But if you wanna help your girl get better in the kitchen, I'd totally appreciate it! It's a long shot but I've been dreaming of one of these for years! Click HERE if you'd like to help!

    It's a busy day in our little household! We're hard at work making the final preps for opening up shoppe! My tummy is full of OJ this morning and I'm a bit sleepy, but we're still hard at work. Thought I'd take a quick break to bring you lots of pretty things! Brian and Christina are coming over to help at noon and then Christina is tagging along with me to get tattooed while Brian helps Mike set up the 'bean. Then we'll head over, finish up and then I get to meet up with the lovely Vanessa of Wanderlust Mobile Shop! So very very excited to meet her while she's in town. Her shop is such an inspiration! Happy Thursday loves!

    ♥ charlotte free's awesome runway hair ♥

    this other black apple piece ♥


    ♥ this dress was totally made from my dreams! ♥


    this super sweet capture ♥


    ♥ this wise note-to-self ♥


    ♥ these pretty pretty peonies ♥


    ♥ this cat is just too cute! ♥


    ♥ tattoos without black outlines ♥


    ♥ gold, gold, and more gold dresses ♥


    ♥ this perfect example of why autumn is amazing ♥

    Other Awesome Things: creating up a storm the past few days! I feel so inspired! ♥ Thinking about how amazing the new design for my tattoos on my shins are (but terrified of the actual pain in getting them! Guess I better toughen up... my appointment is in just a couple of hours!) ♥ Peaceful nights of sleep in our ultra cozy bed ♥ Starting my day with coffee and OJ ♥ the new Mates of State album

    Window shopping: Karmaloop's entire vintage section (Did you know they had a vintage section?! Because I didn't and now I'm in luuuvvv! Get 20% off w/ code KAELAH) ♥ This Dress!!! (Granted I would probably never wear it ever, but it's fabulous nonetheless) ♥ Vanessa of The Velvet Bird is launching a new handmade dress line and while they're not for sale yet, I know I'm going to want every single one! Just peep the first one! *swoon!*

    Happy Thursday friends! Doesn't it seem like the weeks are just flying by now?! September has always been one of my favorite months and it's already halfway over. Kind of blows my mind! We'll be showered with bright orange leaves before we know it! I truly wish Autumn wasn't so fleeting. It makes for the best outdoor socializing (hello coffee and hot chocolate while bundled up in a scarf and jacket!) and the prettiest of pictures! Here's my weekly run down of all things awesome!

    ♥ this image makes my TiLT posts a few times a year! ♥

    this picture is just the sweetest ♥

    this aristocats cake! ♥

    this silly retort ♥

    this gorgeous illustration ♥

    this is the perfect dress!

    ♥ baby platypus! ♥

    these cute and crafty donuts! ♥

    ♥ jane was always so eloquent ♥

    ♥ this simply must make your heart happy, right?! ♥

    ♥ and the happiest of all awesome news in this week's TiLT: ♥
    Exing Out Discrimination of the Day: Australia has taken an important step toward transgender equality by adding a third gender option to national passports.
    The new gender category — designated with an “X” — will be available to all Australians with a doctor’s statement supporting their choice.
    “X’ is really quite important because there are people who are indeed genetically ambiguous and were probably arbitrarily assigned as one sex or the other at birth,” said Senator Louise Pratt, whose partner, Aram Hosie, is a transman.
    “It’s a really important recognition of people’s human rights that if they choose to have their sex as ‘indeterminate,’ that they can.” (via: dailywhat. source: ap via wapo.)
    ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
    Other Awesome Internet Biz: this awesome print-shoe DIY by Smitten & Hazel! ♥ This insane paneled accent wall DIY from Design*Sponge (holy crap!) ♥ My newest sponsor (Shop Speedy Girl) is the coolest flash-sale site I've seen yet (Think ModCloth dresses, but averaging $27! I stalk it everyday now!) ♥ anddddd I'm super stoked to finish up Honeybean's blog/site soon! (And unveil a new sponsor perk that will begin October 1st!)

    Window Shopping: I can't tell if I love or hate these shoes (I'm leaning heavily toward love but boy oh boy are they WILD!)  These Seychelles are to die for! They are SO CUTE! The bow on top just takes them to the next level (and best of all, they're cheap in comparison to current ~trendy shoes!. Must. have!) ♥ and two dresses from one of my sponsors, Ruche: Bella Luna (the colors and print are heavenly!), Thulian Pleated Dress (I love the "ombre-esque" color palette. Swoon!) 

    Offline-Awesome-Things: going bowling last night with the typical crew (Mike, Brian and Christina. I think we need a posse name. We're currently an up-and-coming band called Peacock Boombox. It's just a joke, and I can't play a single instrument, but it's a fun thought nonetheless! I'm on tambourine!) My new desk (Ikea!) and my little fake plant on it. (We can't keep anything alive... except this succulent which is holding on by a thread, so we accentuate our home with realistic looking fakes!) Having red hair again! I'll be sharing actual pictures of it soon! (It's already faded so much so it'll get touched up next week!) ♥ All of the Honeybean designers I've already lined up! I still have 60+ emails to go through but my heart is so so so full! So many amazing things are in the works and I hope each and every one of you can come shop the Honeybean in person! And last but not least, making a tattoo appointment to start the front of my legs! I haven't been tattooed since December so it's long overdue! Trying to get everything finished (at least the parts that will show outside of my dress) before the wedding next year!

    What are you loving this week?!
