Pinterest Wednesday!

What have you been pinning this week? I'm getting ready for my vacation/trip to D.C. and could not be more excited. It's been kind of difficult deciding what to pack because the weather there looks like it could be anywhere between 18C (64F) and 1C (33F) degrees. The forecast calls for snow one day and bright sunny skies the next...so I guess I will just pack a lot of clothes...a lot. These pins serve as some inspiration for what I'll pack:

I think this scarf/bow is super cute. I am someone who will just wear a scarf the same way every day. I will definitely try this.

This shirt looks super comfy. I think it would be perfect for a day of sightseeing and walking around. I would pair it with a pair of dark jeans and leather boots or keds.

Pretty belted dress! I think that this would be perfect for dinner.

Perfect spring outfit

  I really like the detailing on this sleeveless top. 

I think the most important thing I need to remember when packing is comfort. I know that we're planning to walk around for the majority of at least 3 days while I am there and I want to be comfortable. Do you have any recommendations for what I should bring?

I'm linking up with the The Vintage Apple for Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday. 

What I Have My Eye On: Etsy Edition

I could spend hours browsing Etsy.com. If you aren't familiar with the website, I would describe it as a collection of the most unique, homemade/handmade items you could imagine. Hundreds of thousands of them. If you could imagine it, chances are it is on Etsy, and if its not, often chance there is someone willing to make it or build it for you. Here are a few of my favourite things that I've come across recently:

Chevron cutting board by WoodInk -$45

WoodInk has some of the most amazing cutting boards I've ever seen. The boards are constructed entirely from scratch when you order. You are able to choose from 4 different types of wood. I think this would be a great wedding, mothers day, or housewarming gift. I wouldn't mind buying one for myself. 

Play like a Pirate Tee- $26

Monorail is a store that features some pretty cool/unique screen prints. I fell in love with this tee when it I first saw it featured on Lauren from My Grey Desk Blog recently. It is printed on a super comfy American Apparel t-shirt and are made to order. This is definitely on my favourites/to-order-in-the-near-future list. 

Gold hammered stacking ring set- $69

One of my most first and most favourite purchases to date from Etsy are my gold stacking rings (very similar to those pictured). I have gotten more compliments than I can count on them. These ones are from forkwhisperer. They are made to order in your ring size and are made from 12 karat gold filled bands. 

Washington DC city map print- $20

I recently purchased this as a gift and think it's pretty awesome (also I may or may not have a soft spot for map art in general). This print is from joebstudio and is a limited edition. The store features a bunch more city maps as well as some state maps (all hand drawn). I can tell you from first hand experience it makes a great gift :)

I hope that this post didn't come off as being too sale's pitchy because that's definitely not what I'm going for. I wasn't compensated in any way from any of these sellers nor am I affiliated with them. I just wanted to share with you some of my favourite things that I've found recently on Etsy. 

Do you have any favourite Etsy stores or have you made any great Etsy finds lately?
