What I Wore Yesterday
The mystery of the missing camera cord was solved! I can't really explain how it happened, it's still boggling my mind. Whenever my mama got home from work yesterday I was letting her know how confused I was that I misplaced it. I always keep my camera cord in my bag, along with my phone charger so I don't misplace them. Somehow, it had been misplaced though. As soon as I told Mama this she goes "well something happened that I can't explain, but when I opened my purse at work today this was in it" and she pulled out my camera word! What?! We have no idea how it got there, but I'm glad I found it.

Things I Love Thursday
I was planning on doing a "What I Wore Today" post but the cord for my camera has gone missing. Which is a major bummer but I'm hoping it will turn up somewhere, I just don't remember removing it from my bag. Weird! There is good news though, today my stepdad called up tech support and fixed whatever it was that was preventing my laptop from connecting to our home wifi! Even better than that is the fact that my new pink dresser has finally been moved into my room! Now to fold up my clothes and get them in there.
That's enough of from me though, this post is dedicated to the things I've seen online and the things I've lusted over this week. This week's edition of TILT will be a treat to all you cat-lovers!

If you've been following me for any amount of time, or if you know me in real life you know that I love cats. This print is amazing, I wish I had money right now so I could just order this and other similar prints to decorate my room with. Maybe someday!

I'll be honest, I don't know if I would ever wear this. Maybe this summer I'll try and hop on the crop-top bandwagon and maybe something like this would look cute over a little dress or something, but I still want it. It's cute, I love crocheted clothing, and even if I'd never buy it or wear it, it's nice to look at it!

So when I saw this, I squealed with excitement. I love teeth. I love my teeth, I love other people's teeth, I love reading about teeth, I love gong to the dentist, I love brushing my teeth. I'm just a teeth person. Now this choker is a little out of my price range but this lovely Etsy shop also offer more simple and affordable teeth necklaces and earrings. I think I'll be putting some money onto my PayPal account very shortly, because well to be honest, I feel like I need some teeth inspired jewelry on my body!

This print is titled "Bad Hair Day", and I think it's a cute reminder that everybody has bad hair days and you just have to smile through it!
Sometimes I think we all need a reminder of where our happy place is. Or simply a sign to let others know, "Hey this is MY happy place, go get your own!" hehe :3
A few summers ago my grandfather gave me one of his record players. It was probably one of the happiest moments of my teenage years. I have a nice little collection of records and there's just something that makes listening to music more fun when it's on a record player. The only thing is it's so big and really not that esthetically pleasing. This record player however is small, beautiful and my favorite color, yellow!
♥
This list! It's actually a print, which is a great idea because who wouldn't love having this list in their home as nice little reminder?

I love this black cat circus doll. I can just imagine him sitting on a bookshelf, or mantle or anywhere and bringing an eerie sort of happiness to my home.

It's simple, throw a picture of a cat on anything and I will dream about owning it. A perfect example is this cat scarf! Oh the wonderful outfits I could make, and the conversations it would start, how lovely, how dreamy...
Most of the awesome cat clothing I find is so expensive so it's nothing but a far off dream. This adorable shirt however is reasonably priced if I were to splurge on a shirt! I can see myself now just strutting around and showing off my cattitude, can't you?
Let's ignore the 50 dollar price-tag on these for a moment and just enjoy how amazing they look. Why aren't these more affordable, I think everybody should own a pair. I know what I'll be dreaming about tonight... (If you guessed Ryan Gosling you might also be correct, but I did mean the tights this time!)

Sunday Ramblings
I've been having some internet issues going on with my laptop when I'm at home, which is a bit of a drag. This means I've been mostly relying on my new iPod touch that I treated myself to with my Christmas money. Luckily it was the day I bought the iPod that I realized this problem, or else I'd be stranded without internet (which wouldn't be so bad but I don't like to think about it).
Lots of fun is being had with taking pictures and playing around with silly photo-editing apps and neat little games.
If you have an iPhone or Ipoud touch I highly suggest searching the app store for a free app called "Super Kawaii Mai" it's this game that I can't get enough of. Basically you are this cat, and you are trying to make it across the yard but have all these obstacles that come your way (they grow in number and type each level) and you have super cat powers to blast stars at them to get them out of your way. It's crazy, the audio is really annoying, but it's fun and I can't get enough!
My bedroom has finally started feeling like my bedroom. When my parents bought the house we are currently in I wasn't living with them, and when I moved back the room was already set up and I just kept it as is. The past few months I've finally gotten new sheets and blankets for my bed and decorated one of my walls. My broken dresser has been removed (it was just taking up room for a year without having any clothes in it) and my record player is finding it quite cozy in the spare bedroom. It makes the spare room a nice place now to read a book and listen to records, speaking of which I need to start reading more. The ugly corner desk that seemed to take up my whole room has been moved out as well, which is great since I didn't even use the desktop computer that it was holding up. Now the room has space, a little too much but once my dresser finds help in the house it will feel more cozy. The only thing left is a calender to find, and the thought of a nice little mat in front of my bed might be a good idea also!

We're in a mess babe, we're in a mess.
It's safe to say I'm in a bit of a blogging rut. Okay, honestly I've been in a bit of an overall rut about well, everything. Maybe it's part of not having a New Year's Resolution (or goals in general) or being unemployed at one of the hardest times of the year to find work, or maybe it's because I feel like I'm in a style rut most days, I'm afraid to really develop my own sense of style and that just ends up with me being unhappy with what I choose to wear. Regardless, I'm going to try my best to get myself out of this little funk and try to keep my positive thinking going and create beauty in my every day life. I need to break out of my comfort zone a little, create some things (even if they aren't as great as I'd like), get messy, laugh, and just enjoy life!
To make up for the lack of posts (is this really my first post of 2012?!) here is a collection of snaps from my iPod from over the past few weeks, enjoy!

You Are My Sunshine
I was asked on a question on a social networking site, one that actually got me to type out more than a one sentence answer. I felt sharing.
Share the story of something that makes you smile
My cat, Sirius! My whole life I always wanted a cat, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t. We had a dog the first few years of my life, which I loved but I don’t really remember much of that. When my sister and I moved with Mama into my now step-father’s house he had a dog and a cat. I was so excited to have a cat in my life, but it wasn’t my cat, this was a new cat that didn’t care too much for a new stranger in it’s life. The next year we had to get Sheeba put down, which was really had for everybody especially my step-dad. After that he said he’d never get another cat. My dreams of my own pet seemed to be crushed. In 2007 my Gramma became quite sick and there wasn’t anything that could be done to help it. The day I last saw her, we went to visit her in the hospital. Before hand I went to see some new born kittens that a friend of the family’s cat had had. I fell in love with one of the two black kittens. The little male black kitten, even though he was barely two weeks he seemed to be one the strongest of the litter, and had a lot of personality. About a month later the family started looking for homes for the kittens, around the same time I was going through the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with, losing Gramma. My mom had noticed how hard I had been taking this, and she knew I had fallen in love with this cat. She asked my step-dad about it, but he was against it. Mama knew it was because he didn’t want to replace Sheeba, but this wasn’t that. (Dave now loves Sirius more than anything) We went against his wishes and we brought Sirius into the house. We bought the food, litter box, litter, everything we needed and kept it out of sight in my room until the day of Sirius’ arrival. The day he was brought to my house I remember coming home from school, my mom told me she wanted to talk to me upstairs. I had this strange feeling, like she was going to tell me somebody died. Then she told me somebody was waiting for me in my room. I didn’t understand, but I opened my bedroom door and walked into my room to seem this tiny little black ball of fluff. I fell in love with him instantly. He bought so much happiness into my life when I had sort of lost hope. Although he’s far from the size he was when he first came into my life I love him more than anything and it’s so hard to imagine a time without him.

Things I Love Thursday
I love all things Hello Kitty, and even though I'm not quite sure where I would wear such a necklace I can't help but dream about it!
If you've been checking in with any of my past installments of TILT then it's no secret that I love the idea of terrariums. I love this necklace pendant, it seems so whimsical like it's been pulled straight from a fairytale.
As if the pendant was neat enough, check out these mini marimo earrings! I imagine I'd feel like some kind of woodland fairy with these hanging from my ears.
Flower headbands are so beautiful, they add color and life to any outfit and I just love them! I've been considering attempting a DIY version after seeing results sent in from Rookie readers from their own flower headband/crown tutorial.
This Vanity print by inapaleplace!
It wouldn't be hard to find motivation for positive thinking with this "Today will be awesome" 8x10 print!
I love broaches, and I love cute things so this crocheted bear broach is right up my ally!
This purse is reconstructed from a dress. I love upcycled things, especially when they are this cute!
I seem to be lacking in the earring department. I sure could use some simple yet unique ones like these!
Unlike the other Hello Kitty necklace I'd be able to work this one into my every day wardrobe more easily!
A few months ago I bought a cute purse with cats on it, but sadly it's not as practical for every day like this messenger bag.
I know I'm not alone when I say that Bumble is one of my favorite Christmas movie characters. This would be such a great necklace to have around the holidays!
Another great necklace to add to my dream list to end off this week's installment of Things I Love Thursday!
What are you loving this week?
