Writers+Pilo

I'm a QWERTY lover. I think all writers are.
So, imagine my delight when I was announced as the winner of a giveaway from lark + linen.

This lovely came from Pilo a fantastic etsy shop which calls Vancouver home. I'm just now noticing some of the little details from this vintage typewriter. My favorite thus far is the British Pound Sterling symbol above the 5.
Notice anything else?

Stocked Closet

It's really hard keeping secrets, but yesterday was a great day and I can't wait to show you all the proof of it. Just stay tuned...

In other news, I'm busy applying for scholarships for London, because let me tell you, moving across the pond is NOT cheap. But, I've been saving and trying my very best to stay on a tight budget...{I haven't been shopping in 4 count them 1, 2, 3, 4! months. Sigh.}

But all is not lost. I have very specific goals that I want to meet before I start shopping away. I think it really boils down to the fact that I feel that I have nothing to wear on a daily basis. I need to take a total inventory of my closet and see what's working and what's not.

So, tell me ladies...what do you have in your closet that you just can't live without??

something like this

So maybe when I move to London, I'll have a fabulous flat and maybe it will look a little something like this....

I can imagine sitting at this desk, writing papers, checking emails and working on my future magazine.
{Oh, you didn't know about that? Hmm, I'm sure I will give you details on that soon.}

Do you think I can afford all of this on a graduate students budget? A girl can always dream...

I am really loving these pillows from My Bearded Pigeon. I would love to get them for my home. I could totally transport these babies with me, but I'm trying to buy LESS so that detaching myself from things will be less painful when it comes down to my two lonely suit cases that I get to take with me.

Le sigh. Maybe once I'm settled in over there....
