lonely tourist charlotte charles

I think I used the same title the last time I wore this dress, but how can I resist!? Bees immediately scream "Pushing Daisies" to me now. And bees in the form of a perfect little pillbox hat and vintage shirt dress? Well that just has Charlotte Charles written all over it.

Oh my gosh. I just realized this is another insect print! lol!!! I didn't even realize it when I wore the outfit. Maybe this is just my subconscious bidding adieu to all of the bugs that will soon be in hibernation. The day when the only little critters I see in my house are the ones printed on my clothing can't come soon enough for me! ;D

More bugs! I'm acquiring a strangely large collection of insect-print clothing for somebody who literally shrieks at the sight of even the tiniest of spiders. When I was little my dad had a glow in the dark cockroach t-shirt, and I guess I've never gotten over how cool that seemed.

Hypatia decided to make another appearance again, too! yay! I would love to show off my cats more often but all three of them are camera shy. I get SO excited when one of them wanders into a picture or stays still long enough for me to take some snapshots!

ps. My August featured sponsor, The Little Buffalo, is having a pretty cool giveaway on her blog for a sweet little pink bow-tie (or hair bow if you think like me, haha!) You can check it out here!

Ronald McDonald isn't quite as cool an inspiration as Andy Bernard, is he? lol ;p

I think it's hilarious how often I end up posting pictures from when I was preoccupied or totally unprepared. In this photo, I was all ready for the timer to go off and then I saw a bug on my wall. So here I'm thinking "smile, the camera is about to take a picture... WAIT. Is that a bug over there? Keep smiling but pay attention to the bug's every movement. DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE BUG." But somehow this ended up being the best picture of the batch, haha!

How awesome is this dress? I'm a sucker for unique prints, and I kind of think unique is an understatement for this one. I love bugs, as long as they aren't crawling on me or my bedroom ceiling ;-)

I closed my etsy shop this week for the holidays, and every pending order has been shipped. This is my first real holiday in over two years (in 2009 I left my shop open over Christmas) so I'm really excited! I'm planning on getting caught up on all the movies I've been recording off tv all year but never got a chance to see, maybe doing some painting just for fun and (don't judge me. I really enjoy doing this.) organizing my closet! woo hoo! I have at least a dozen recipes I want to try out, and a drawer full of pajamas just calling my name. What are your holiday plans? :)

ps. Don't forget, next Friday is Posh Frock Friday!! I hope you'll join in! :)
