I can't help but like that word haha.. 
I have so many things to share, I will start posting more regularly.
I miss it when I don't and I always feel like I have something to do. 
The weather has been so nice.. it's cooler on some days than others
and I do wish I had a lover. Something about autumn and winter.
Every year.
but!, more time for.. me. Right? Right.
I hope you all are well -- STAY ENCOURAGED.

P.S. - my font has not been wanting to cooperate.. when looking at it on my own blog, I think the smaller font looks just fine. On the other hand, when I am browsing blogs, I am always pleased to see the larger font because it's much easier to read.


So, Question: What do you think? Do you prefer to see a tiny font or a larger one, like this?

So! I've been absent again. I really feel bad when I don't come by here and at least read and respond to comments. I've been a tiny bit ill, and my dog as well.. we're dealing with

"interdigital furuncles" which is fancy talk for 'cysts' between puppies toes!

glamorous! >.<

I've decided to try an at-home appoach before going to the vet. Up to 8 weeks of antibiotics can get expensive plus that's a lot of medication.. Here's what we are doing instead:

          

         

           

          

         

         

So, you can see in the second photo a bit of the problem I am battling here.

That is all of what I am using to treat it, except I changed to a stickier masking tape.

Basically, it's epsom salt soak in warm water for ten minutes which she is okay with as long as you give the ocassional head scratch! followed by an ointment

and bandages of gauze. I have only done it twice and already seen a big improvement

in both the "cysts" and in her mood altogether, more playful! (except for the little

foot wraps.. she could be happier about that, I think haha)

... 

Anyway, I have still been working on getting things into my shop.

I'll be putting those shoes and the bag in there tomorrow, I think.

They really are lovely, I just have so many things..

BUT! I love sharing my finds, so it's okay.

I hope everyone is well. How is the weather where you are? It's getting crisply autumnal here in the south but who knows if it'll last.. I'll keep the summer clothing out for now, as usual~

MARKET

Okay, I'm having to start actually naming all of my blog posts; 
the numbers are getting away from me rather quickly >.<
These are my pictures from a day at the market and an outfit post that I said would be here over a week ago. Oh, where have I been? Busy busy setting up my etsy shop to share some of my vintage goods. I haven't a fancy banner or button just yet, but do have a few listings;
you can visit me over at

OKAYBONES @ etsy

  

  

 

 

 

 

I am debating whether or not I can part with this darling dress.. 

It's a sheer off-white eyelet dress with a lace trimmed slip attached underneath; vintage girls dress, ultra soft cotton and in perfect conditon. The wedges and hat both are from Forever21 and the bag is thrifted vintage. 

From the market!

I got to pet this one ^.^

dreaming so sweetly ^.^

 pretty birds ^.^

cute owl fan at Japanese stand

fresh & local fruits and vegetables

kawaii mini umbrellas & hair ribbons ^.^

I hope everyone has been well; I have been a little ill but I will try to be more present.

BIKE LOVE - Missoni

So! Surely you've heard by now that Missoni, the Italian luxury designer, has created a line exclusively for Target to run through September 13 through October 22.
Here's a lookbook for the entire collection [HERE]
It's been available for nearly 12 hours now, but if you're trying to shop the collection via 
the web, GOODFREAKINGLUCK! I've gotten through a few times, while the rest, I've received a message that they're "suddenly extremely popular"; could it be due to the fact that the priciest item in this 400+ piece collection (a patio furniture set, priced at $599.99) could easily be less than you'd pay for a single pair of Missoni brand shorts or flats? Probably ^.^
While I don't obsess over big designers, not much my lifestyle or vision, there are a few
items I wouldn't mind owning; the tights are adorable, as are the iconic print sweaters, and of course... THE BIKE. 

Yes, they've designed a bike, and I must say I love it. How charming it is! ^_^

I think the color scheme is just fantastic, and the tires, eee! I also am a fan of the matching wire basket and the detail at the chainstay (?) and back tire, I don't know that I've seen that
before. I'm not greatly up to speed on my bicycle anatomy, so forgive any errors and
general lack of knowledge here haha.. one day, one day..
Oh, I mustn't fail to mention that this bike is priced at a super awesome $399.99
Seriously, if I didn't already own a bike that I don't ride enough, I'd be all over this.

P.S. In my pitiful attempt at research, 

I did find this neat typography illustration by Aaron Kuehn I thought I'd share:

I really hope everyone is having a pleasant enough day, I've got some catching up to do!
