Omnia Oddities Shop

Just found this site via Tumblr, and cannot get enough of how amazing their products look! I wish, I wish I had the money to buy something right now, but I will have to wait. Thankfully that doesn't mean I can't share with you what wonderful things they have in store at Omnia Oddities:

Today's thoughts and some military inspired fashion

I was so excited and hyperactive in the morning, that I really went on full overload of happiness, and it didn't really stop now either, since I spent the entire evening knitting, watching TV and checking a huge box full of old photos almost simultaniously, and found some real diamonds in between!
I'm going to put a big photoset on my wall at some point, because there are things that I really want to remember from my life. And old photos of all our dogs and our two cats (who've both passed away). The pictures are way too cute. Maybe I'll show you one or two when I get them scanned!

And at the same time, the entire day, I've basically worn my dad's old army uniform since it's super super warm. It's like forty or fifty years old but still in perfect condition and since he was in the alpine infrantry they had some pretty darn warm clothes and our house is freezing cold. Well not today, but mostly in the winter it is (today we started heating).

So here's some inspiration pictures I ravaged through after I realised that hey, wearing this dress shirt might actually make a pretty darn fashionable dress with a nice belt!

Photos XXXV: Just too cute to be true! (watch out for cuteness overload)

I have a huge cuteness day today, I've been awake so long it's beginning to show as complete hyperactivity. I'm writing an essay on Plato's Republic and what I think of it, and it's just wonderful to be so happy happy happy. Okay, my anti-depressants obviously work, I'd normally not be this eager to help, or this happy with everything. I'm starting to sound manic, aren't I? Oh well, don't care a dime! I'm waiting a call from that shrink I saw in the hospital a few times, the nice one, but she hasn't called me yet.... I hate waiting. But thankfully I have cleaning to do, blog to write and essay to finish!

So here's all the cuteness of the world packed into one photoset (okay not ALL the cuteness, that just wouldn't fit into anything):

Photos XXXIV: Restyled T-Shirts

I just love love love diy t-shirt tutorials and doing them myself, I love fixing up shirts that don't really fit me as such, because just a plain t-shirt can be so boring! There are a few of these I've made myself, but most of these inspo photos are completely new designs for me, and I just can't wait to get my hands on some t-shirts that I can updo like these:
