Let's Get Crafty!

Free People is having another craft swap! The theme is Dark Fairy, and it should be tons of fun. I participated in the last (travel-themed) swap and ended up making a travel journal that made me feel very crafty (Click for a bigger version):



Anyway, the point is that the swap should make for a good time, and you should sign up for it! We might even end up being swap partners!

Wardrobe Swap Shop

Most of you have heard of Wardrobe_Remix, because it's probably the most popular fashion-related group on flickr. (And for a good reason, might I add. It's chock-full of amazingly creative and stylish people.) But have you heard of Wardrobe Swap Shop?

I've been involved with Wardrobe Swap Shop for longer than I've been involved with Wardrobe_Remix, and it's great. It's a group where you can swap unwanted clothing/accessories/jewelry, and since all you need to pay for is shipping, it's essentially guilt-free shopping. Plus, it gives you the opportunity to de-clutter your wardrobe. The picture above is of some of the goodies I've accumulated from the group (trapeze tank that I added sequins to, key necklace, mustard tights, red shoes). I've gotten more, but I'm too lazy to upload the images to the computer.

Swapping is totally addictive, and you can end up with some great stuff. I'm currently awaiting a beautiful skirt and printed babydoll tank. I'm so excited! Nothing makes me happier than getting packages in the mail. Well, almost nothing.

You can see all the lovely items I have for swap here if you want to swap with me. (Might I reccomend this top? The day I discovered it had goten too small was a very sad one. It's so unique, and I love it.)

That's all, my grasshoppers. Go forth and swap!!!

Why Don't You...

1) Mourn the end of Gilmore Girls (and celebrate the fact that the last episode was absolutely perfect) by renting a few GG dvds and having a marathon. Extra points if you do this with your mom or daughter.

2) Host a Naked Lady Party. (Thanks to Painfully Hip for the idea)

3) Make Winona from Daddy Likey (and a needy kid too, of course) happy by volunteering for Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

4) Celebrate your inner woMAN with Queen/King Michelle from Kingdom of Style.

5) Prepare to book a June flight to Arnhem, Netherlands to visit Fashion Biennale. (I so want to go to this one. What could be better than "the longest catwalk...a spectacular fashion parade through the heart of the city" and "clothing, accessories and photos in all sorts and sizes hang like laundry on washing lines above the city" Now that's what I call fashion for all.)

6) Get your face ready and glowing for summer by making a homemade aspirin mask.
