< Though last year's DIY Starburst Tree Topper from Pipe Cleaners remains a favorite, this year’s tree has a more rustic feel to it in a brown and blue color scheme, so the glitzy topper didn’t quite fit. I started thinking in textured brown tones like burlap and rope, and remembered seeing a mirror border …
I was really looking forward to last week. Firstly because it offered some R&R from the week prior, which had me buzzing around like a chicken with its head cut off {and may or may not have ended in a mini break-down}. Secondly, it was voting week! Not only did we as Americans get to …

Wearing Thrifted chunky knit sweater, {yes the one in my last outfit post} over Trovata plaid shirt/tunic dress with leggings, thigh high black socks from American Apparel, Jeffrey Campbell over the knee boots {that don’t actually stay over the knee – got these in 2008 :/} and a black pashmina scarf & gloves.
