My Halloween Costume

I'm going as a 1960's chick! I got inspired by this costume I posted about back in August.


Makeup:
The perfect 1960s face. Dramatic eyes, featuring heavy use of mascara, producing spiked lashes. Shadow is colored or dark. Skin is pale, often from foundation or powder called "translucent." Lips are pale or glittering, rarely showing dark shades. How to Apply 1960's Style Eye Makeup

Clothes:
I bought a great dress at Target. I can't seem to find a picture of it online, though :(. I got a big black headband and I might buy a wig, if I find a good one. As for shoes, I have no idea what to do yet.

Eurobad 74′

Eames Desk Unit

Eames Desk Unit

Designed by:
Charles & Ray Eames

In 1949, Charles and Ray Eames developed a new system of free-standing multifunctional shelves and writing desks which - similar to the Eames House that dates from the same time - were constructed strictly in keeping with the principles of industrial mass production: the Eames Storage Units (ESU) and Eames Desk Units (EDU).

Mi Casa

I took a picture of my bedroom with the new Jeff Page art I just bought recently. That picture is making me so tired, I think I'm going to go and take a nap!

The art of Lance Letscher

Lance Letscher uses paper, book covers, old magazines, record covers, etc. to make his work. The materials are old and worn, giving his pieces a vintage feel, but still feel very current and fresh. I love it!

New Angela Adams Trays

Brighten up your day with these colorful trays! Available in a variety of sizes and classic angela adams patterns. Featuring hand silk-screened fabric, these laminated trays are easy to wipe clean.

Etsy artist Rikrak

I was looking for christmas stuff on Etsy when I came across Rikrak. I love the vintage fabrics used and all the bright colors! Check out more of Rikrak on Flickr.

I've been addicted to felt lately, I've collected enough to fill a big box. I've been thinking of making some felt pod ornaments and Rikrak has inspired me with their color combinations. So pretty!

Soap & Glory

I was in Target the other day when I saw a display for Soap and Glory Cosmetics. I didn't even know what they were but I just had to pick them up and take a closer look... that's the sign of good package design! Everything is put in pink boxes and tubes and the names of the products are clever: Righteous Butter body butter, Clean on Me shower gel, and Sexy Mother Pucker lip gloss. A quick Google search reveals they've been for sale in the UK for a while, and now have crossed the pond.

I did not purchase any of their products to try, so I can't attest as to their quality. Whenever I see cleverly packaged products like these, however, I get the impression that the high prices are due more to branding than the products themselves. Nevertheless, it's nice to have some eye candy on the bathroom shelf every once in awhile.
