bits and peeks
well, hello everyone and happy monday! i hope everyone had an excellent weekend. here are bits and pieces of our weekend!
finished up a recent tattoo design that i will show later this week. also updated my tattoo design portfolio and will be slowly adding more.
did some thrifting. hit the mother load of crocheted hangers, an illustrated flower book and some embroidery wall art! good times! i will showing the most magical find of all the later this week too!
found some plastic dinosaurs and added them to our succulent garden. they are so cute! if any one has any they want to get rid of let a girl know :)
a glimpse of what i wore thrifting. a new lace dress from urban and my oh so favorite clogs!
made a fort at work. we spent the night there friday night. it was soo much fun! we had to be up so early for the bike ride and the train doesn't start running till 6am which is when we needed to be at the start of the ride.
we didn't finish our 80 mile ride. we turned back about half way, it was pouring rain and tom and i were both soaked to the bone, even though we had rain gear. we didn't have anything for our shoes so we road for 6 hours with wet feet and wet clothes. it was cold and we were pretty numb to the core. it was a bit disappointing but at least we tried which is all that matters!
hunger games! my mom picked us up and we had a great time. it was sooo much better then i thought and left the movie a super happy little clam :)

Sounds like you were busy busy! I love the lace dress and I too was impressed with the job they did on The Hunger Games. I was really happy it didn't turn out super hokey. p.s. love your fort!
ReplyDeletei am really impressed too. i am not sure if you are a twilight person but those movies are horrid! even though i do pay to go see them, they are cheesy as hell!
DeleteOh you are my hero! Dinosaurs in your succulents! Camping under a homemade fort! A massive bike ride in the rain... dinner out and a movie... and THRIFTING in the cutest outfit ever! You absolutely put me to shame. In the best possible way. Sarah xxx
ReplyDeleteyour hero? YAY! i know dino's in my garden, i love it! i want to add them to my pots too!
DeleteYou are amazing. This entire post is amazing. Dinosaurs and mint lace? All in one place? Yes please! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNO YOUR AMAZING, lazer cat eye acid wash demin jacket wearer! hands down amazing!
Deletei really don't know how you manage to fit so much into one weekend! getting off the couch to change the dvd takes up so much of my time, i really don't get around to doing anything else. <3
ReplyDeleteit was kinda crazy but we did fit it all in but i did have 3 days off mind you ;D
DeleteSuper cute outfit!! I love crochet hangers..you are so lucky to have found so many! Sounds like you had a fun filled week.
ReplyDeletethanks sweetie! yes crochet hangers are the best! they keep my boat neck shirts and dresses on and don't warp the shoulders like the plastic and wire hangers do!
DeleteI am in total and complete love with your outfit! Seriously, hands down my fave outfit of yours eva! I have a hard time pulling off the sock/sandal look but you look spectacular. Moving on, I have exactly 100 pages till I am finished with Game of Thrones. Get ready for some nerd talk soon!
ReplyDeletei know i love the dress soo much! i want to wear it every day. i have been on the hunt for a lace dress and really happy with this one. it comes in TONS of colors too! you should get one!
Delete100 pages, OH BOY OH BOY! you are getting to the sad times part! GET TO READING SO WE CAN NERD TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i've never seen crochet hangers they are cute! love your dress very summery!
ReplyDeleteoh they are the best things ever! they make your closet look nice but also keep closes on the hanger and don't warp the shoulders of shirts and dressed like the wire or plastic ones do. if you ever spy any get um fast!
DeleteI love that lace dress! The color is so perfect!
ReplyDeletethanks! i love it too, it comes in a bunch of other colors. i have a wedding i am going to be in and i am having the hardest time finding a purple dress i like and want to spend money on so i might buy the white one and dye it!
Deleteoh those hangers! i got some of those at an estate sale last summer and haven't seen more since! i love them!!
ReplyDeletei know for a while i hadn't seen any. tom got them for me a while ago and whenever we go thrifting i always look for some. this place had tons more and i don't need that many so i only took, well ha, lets face it a still took a bunch! hehe
DeleteThose dinosaurs are awesome, I will have to suggest that to my mom as an addition to her garden.
ReplyDeleteI saw Hunger Games too and I thought it was really faithful to the book and that Jennifer Lawrence was perfect as Katniss. I was definitely pleased with it.
yes yes suggest them to your mom! they are so much fun. i love seeking them everyone morning.
Deletei thought it was really faithful too which isn't always the case with books that turn into movies. um, i have a teeny tine crush on peeta. he is so cute!
looks like such a great weekend! love your dress!
ReplyDeleteI liked the Hunger Games! I especially love Jennifer Lawrence. : )
ReplyDeleteI also love your tattoo designs! You're really talented.
they did such a great job with the casting of each character. i was really happy with everyone. thanks sweetie, it is my passion so i am so happy that others enjoy them <3 i always look forward to your comments, thank you for being so wonderful!
DeleteI LOVE your lace dress, it is so pretty :) I still have to try socks in shoes, I think it looks so fun! Glad you liked Hunger Games, I enjoyed it too!
ReplyDeleteoh yes totally try the socks with shoes! it took me a while to get the look right or at least for me to feel comfortable with the look and i really like it. a nice look for spring when it might be just a tad too cold for sandals. i hope you try it out!
DeleteI love the dinosaurs in your garden! I have major feelings for dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteThat minty color of your dress is fantastic! Those crochet hangers are something to LOVE!
I am amazed you even made it halfway through that ride! I could not have made it! Kudos to you for making it as far as you did. I can't troop through the rain, either, I get all crabby and turn into a 5 year-old who throws fits.
I saw Hunger Games. It was so good!
I am glad you had a good weekend! I went to Tucson and enjoyed some sun and family time. I am back in Albuquerque, but it's snowing today and it's totally bummed me out :(
tell me about these fillings? you are so cute!
Deleteah thanks kristen, it was tough turning back but more then half of the people that signed up didn't show so at least we tried!
sounds like you had a great time in tuscan, so glad sweetie!
Ugh what a bummer about the bike ride! That's so fun that you got to have a sleepover at work though :) And OMG LOVE that lace dress!!! Gorgeous. I think I might need to go see Hunger Games this weekend...I just finished the first book.
ReplyDeleteyea the sleep over was the best! not the greatest nights rest but still pretty fun! hope you enjoy the movie, let me know what you think!
DeleteTehe, I love your indoor tent! Very inspiring photos :) xox
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hangers! The dinosaurs look so precious in your succulents. I think you are pretty amazing for making it even half way in the pouring rain. Annnnd, I watched Season 1 of Downton Abbey on Friday and I'm so hooked its not even funny. <-- Super run on comment.
ReplyDeleteyay another downton abbey fan! i am so upset that i can't watch season 2!!! i loved your super run on comment!
DeleteI saw the hunger games as well last friday and loooved it!! I thought it was so well done and the actors were great except for Cato who wasn't scary enough, he was just like a big bully... I can't wait for the second film now!
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit and the fort, so cute!
xo L
uh i didn't think much of cato but my mom was wanting snow to be scarier. i can't wait to see the next film too!
Deletethose hangers are great, i love your dress, and your fort looks like so much fun! whenever i look at your blog it always seems like you have such a fun life...i want to come live it for a vacation!
ReplyDeleteoh, and i almost emailed you just because i was so excited and we had talked about it, but i got my clogs the other week!!!!! i haven't been able to stop wearing them. and it only took 2 weeks for them to arrive, so i'm SUPER happy i got them!
yes come vacation at casa de cristie! hehe i would love a visitor!
Deleteoh yay you got the clogs, hot damn two weeks that is crazy fast! maybe cause i ordered during christmas which wasn't a great idea! haha i am sooo glad you got them early and before your b day too! oh and i am so happy to hear they fit too as i know you were concerned about that! now we are clog twins... well sort of since you got a different style... you know what i mean!
hahaha, casa de cristie sounds perfect!!!
Deleteyes, the clogs fit like they are made for me! and i'm SOOOOO glad i found out about lotta from stockholm from you!
Ohh I love those clogs! I've wanted a pair for about a year now. Maybe I'll save up this summer. Btw you have the best legs!

sounds like a fab weekend (except for the wet feet, yuck); love those dinos, so funny to come across them I bet :) and great thrifting finds. I hate to admit but I'm STILL waiting to see the film (aaaggghhh!) as due to silly cinema messing with times our first attempt was thwarted, then just haven't had a free evening since. I WILL get to see it, waiting will just make it sweeter (right??) xox
ReplyDeleteawe lovie, there is so much goodness going on in your world!!! it's amazing to come here and be so uplifted through all these fab goings on. rad tattoo art work you're doing - the clock is incredible and getting to see all your darling collections in your home makes me feel like going on a huge vintage shopping haul myself soon :)))
ReplyDeletesuper adore your thrifting outfit! another pastel pretty to covet plus those SHOESSSSSSSSSS are killer!! congrats to you both on sticking it out for so long on your ride, especially under such bad weather conditions. you gots balls girl ; )
best ever is the FORT! you are the cutest, this post is full of bright spots. xo ♥
