overdue

my obsessions for the past week:

1.

this cute little bow-brazened bageroo is on sale at urbanoutfitters.com for $29.99, and it's calling my [very, very broke] name. luckily my bank account and my vegetarian/animal rights morals are telling me to just say no to this little bundle of leathery goodness.

did i mention it has a bow?

2.

i'm dreaming of cooler weather constantly...and this double-breasted cardigan from aa is putting me over the edge. i love the paprika/sand button combo online!

3.

this is a hair idea i pulled from modern bride...but i love the look of a hot mess pony. maybe by some miracle i can force my hair into this style once my hair gets long enough.

4.

cornichons. these babies are ah-may-zing. basically they're little french super-sour pickles. the brand i buy crams them in all the way to the top so there's never a pickle juice surplus [much to the dismay of my roommate who loves to drink the juice - blech!].

5.

i pounce on postsecret every sunday morning, and i'm always wishing and hoping there might be a surprise posting during the week. fortunately the archives are always interesting to look at!

hope you're having a great week!

ink on the brain

i've been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for a few years now, and since i'm rock-bottom broke at the moment it's perfect timing for brainstorming.

i'm hardly ever spontaneous when it comes to big decisions [except for getting my nose pierced for my birthday last year], so i have a few ideas in mind.

eventually i want to have two, or possibly one combined, tattoo to symbolize my parents.

mom ideas: heart [cliche, but then again her birthday is on valentine's day so i've been buying her heart-themed gifts for years], hummingbird [her favorite bird], or a flower of some sort [i'm a sucker for those traditional rose tattoos when they look classy and the coloring is done right].

my dad is much harder to symbolize.

so far my only idea is to get an ant [my dad got his doctorate in bug science and he and his best friend have a thing for digging around in ant piles].

perhaps i could tie it all together somehow? an ant crawling on a rose...and then a completely separate heart somewhere else?

location-wise i'm thinking ribs on my right side, right hip, wrist, or on my left side a bit down from my collarbone.

the size would probably be moderate [medium?] to small.

any suggestions would be appreciated!


here are some photos via flickr that brought out some inspiration:

i love the simplicity and the key motif.

1. she's gorgeous.
2. the placement is perfect.

i like how the designs are outline-y.

i'm not very into skulls, but this tattoo is cute and a great size.

i like the design of these roses, but i would want to bring out more yellow and make the edges softer.


any thoughts?
