Tom, You're Neat.

Have you seen the new Toms? I'm a pretty big Toms fan. Well, Kristen in the summer of 2010 was a pretty big Toms fan. I can't say I have worn my:

Red Bridgeport Linen Classics (which I don't think are sold on their website anymore..sad day) very much yet this year,

(side note: Mine worn through at the toe, so I hand sewed a fun printed gold patch out of upholstery fabric onto it..now they're one of a kind!)

Or my Grey Hass Printed Burlap Toms (also not sold anymore) very much this year.

Both wonderful pairs, and lovely summer shoes! Also, for a great cause. Read about it here.

But...

If I was to get another pair this summer, there are a few I do have my eye (well, both eyes actually) on. What do you think?

Natural Burlap:

Fun Rope Sole! and Kenya Stripe.

Or should I spice up my life with some colour with some Lilac coloured Toms?

I know. You're as overwhelmed with the envy as I am. Perhaps Kristen of summer 2011 is a pretty big Toms fan after all..Help me decide!

Also, Starbucks employed me. It's pretty neat!

I have some garage sale-ing finds to share with you! Oh, just you wait!

Enjoy!

Dorm Decorating-Phase 4

Tomorrow! Tomorrow is the day I've been waiting for! I finally get to decorate my dorm room! Before and After pictures will be posted! Today, on my day of packing and attempting getting ready, I re-upholstered a stool. I'm not sure if it's considered re-upholstering if the stool was originally plastic, and i used hot glue, but I gave it a new look anyway!

Before:

After!

I also gave my Toms a cute little patch because it was wearing through at the toe.

Before:

After!

And earlier this week, I had mentioned my strawberry tin. Here it is! My sister made a matching one. I think it's extremely cute. These are wild strawberries found on my front lawn. Throw on some vintage French labels, and Ta-da! A cute strawberry tin (whose life may be shorter than I hope. I have no idea how to tame a wild strawberry to the confined space of a small tin)

My dorm will be finely furnished with beautiful red and muted teal decor if my plans go as well as I hope! I'm excited beyond reason!

Enjoy!
