Things I like

 

Isn't this bathing suit just too gorgeous? I love the elegant style that women had in the 40s, 50s and 60s and this suit reminds me of it.

Very dearly wants. 

I also like these. Very much.

so i really loves clothes, and i especially love scouring thrift stores for awesome once-in-a-lifetime pieces.

i also tend to watch people and occasionally admire their fashion sense. i'll sometimes be out or at a concert or an event and look at what everyone's wearing and then allow myself to pick one item from every person to have (Even though i know i'm not really goin to have it) and it's kinda fun.

i love the outfits that these girls are wearing.

Jasmine, remarkable dog

Ok, i'll straight up admit it. i'm the biggest sap alive for soppy animal stories so i just have to, have to, have to share this one with you.

Jasmine is a gorgeous looking Greyhound dog who was discovered by the police in Warwickshire, England. She had been abandoned and abused, so they took her to the Nuneaton Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary and thankfully they helped her recover. That's when they started looking for a home for her.

Little lovely Jasmine instead made herself quite at home at the sanctuary and took up the role of welcomer. Every single animal, EVERY SINGLE animal, that was subsequently brought to the sanctuary was taken under lil Jas' proverbial wing as she gave each and every one a welcoming lick.

She has since helped the sanctuary destress the animals by making them feel safe and warm. She does this with puppies, foxes and even bunnies! She lets birds perch on her nose and licks the guinea pigs.

I think she is just amazing and love her and want her for myself (yes, i know that is incredibly selfish). Here she is with some of her furry friends.

You can read more about this perfectly gorgeous creature here.

Amigurumi Rat

I just absolutely love this rat. Who wouldn't? Or couldn't? It is illegal for things this cute not to be mine.

I didn't even know what Amigurumi was before this lovely little rat came along and changed my life (ok, in a very teeny-tiny way), but still: this rat is amazing! isn't it? Thank goodness for the Japanese right?

I found it on the lovely pages of Etsy over here. Sighs

And yes, I think real rats are gorgeous too. So there. I'd pull out my tongue at you if I could see you 

i just love this dress

Found this dress on a post here.

I *love* it and *want* it and *need* it.

Somebody please let the lovely drummer know.

Thank You.
