I don't know what you call this print, one of my scarves has it too. In the group shot I like the purple dress with the black tights and black shoes and the dress with the leather coat.



tie dye/ faded shirt / i feel like i could make this ruched shirt with better colours / i could make this shirt too, just watch out for side flashing. there is no back or sides, just a bit on the bottom.



why didn't i ever think of using birch bark? these are from an etsy shop - bettula. the last shot is from canadian house and home.



oversized / cool outfits / patterned shorts


obi belt / cozy white room / outfit, t-shirt, blazer, belt & jeans.

Honey

from http://www.care2.com/greenliving/honey-kitchen-cupboard-beauty-tips.html

Honey Pat. This is the best way to bring a lively glow to your face and body while you moisturize and smooth. Squeeze some honey anywhere on your skin and pat it with both hands.

Honey Bath. If you don’t have time to pat-and-glow, just add 1/4 cup or so of honey to your bath. Mmmm—sweet, silky, and luscious skin.

Honey Shiny Hair. Mix 1 teaspoon honey, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and 1 quart of warm water. After shampooing, simply pour through hair. Let your hair dry as you normally would; you don’t need to rinse it out.

Moisturizing Honey Mask. Mix 2 tablespoons honey and 2 teaspoons milk or cream. Smooth on face and allow to remain for 10 minutes, then rinse.

Good-Enough-to-Eat Facial Cleansing Scrub. Combine 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon finely-ground almonds, 2 tablespoons dry oatmeal, and enough lemon juice to moisten. Massage mixture gently onto face, then rinse with warm water.

Honey Hair Conditioning Treatment. This great formula combines the benefits of honey and olive oil for lustrous, silky, healthy hair and scalp. Simply combine 1/2 cup honey and 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup olive oil (depending on the dryness of your hair and scalp). Saturate hair and scalp with this conditioner, then put on a shower cap and allow the conditioner to remain for 30 minutes before you shampoo and rinse as usual.
