New stuffs! :D bythethroat.etsy.com!

I love this tutorial on how to style a beehive! Looks much easier than all those Amy Winehouse-esque ones I read in the past calling for giant rolls of toilet paper! :D Will defnitely try it when my hair gets a little longer!

Vertigo-inducing photos. NEAT! But don't click if you're afraid of heights! You've been warned!

COLOURlovers is suuuuuper addicting. There are also an incredible amount of apps utilizing this site by third parties, as well. For example, Android users can get the apps "Pattern Wallpapers" and "I Love Color" and set user-created seamless patterns from the site as their phone's wallpaper! Super awesome! (Here's my profile! Teehee!)

I swear, Frances Bean Cobain is probably one of the most gorgeous women to ever grace the earth. Seriously. I can't help but literally gasp every time I see a photo of her.

This Marilyn Monroe statue in Chicago made part of me cringe and part of me squee.

OH MY GOD GIVEIT. The things I would do for this room!

This dress is so adorable. I have a gnarly thing for stripes.

Loved this tutorial on how to tie a head scarf. I've been trying to do this forEVER, to no avail! Seems easy, but sometimes I can't grasp the simplest of things... now I know!

Amy Winehouse has died. I still can't even believe it, I so desperately wanted her to get her life together. I loved her so much. So sad :'c Back To Black was an ENORMOUS part of my life in 2007. Such an amazing talent, it's so tragic. (How creepy is it that I referenced her in the link to that tutorial at the top of this post?! Added that a few days back, even. SUPER weird...)

I can't end this on a sad note. Here's a photo of Jade scooting across the floor! He's perfecting his crawling this week, and he's getting fast. Makes my heart melt!

xoxo, Bre

Love At First Sight #3!

Yay! I actually am able to get around to blogging this week! And it's time for me to gloat about this Etsy shop I found a few weeks back! In fact, you might remember me sticking a link to this shop in one of my previous "Bre's Week In Links" features!

This week, we're focusing on Sarah Norton from Toronto, who makes adorable dark-themed jewelry from polymer clay. Her shop is called Beat Black and everything is absolutely incredible! She reached inside me, grabbed my inner angsty goth teen and shook her back to life! The above are just a few of my favorite selections. That jawbreaker locket is to die for. I want it I want it I want it!!!

When you're done checking out her shop you can also check out her site/blog, like her on Facebook and follow her on Twitter!

What about you guys? What Etsy treasures did you dig up this week?

Shoes-day Tuesday #1!

1. T.U.K. "Fairy Teal Romance" heel $109.99
2. Dr. Martens "Darcie" in white $115
3. Jeffrey Campbell "Fox Tick" in bright green $169.95
4. Jeffrey Campbell "Lita Fur" in Cheetah Fuchsia $194.95
5. T.U.K "Spider Attack" Green & Pink Leopard Print Antipop $32
6. Finsk "Cinza" (WHAT?!?!) $999.95

I fell very hard for some shoes this week. And while I highly doubt I'll ever be able to afford any of these beauties (besides #5, and maaaaybe #2, Chivahn's got them in every color and I'm obsessed), I can always look, right? And obsess, and wish... and chances are some of you will appreciate them, as well :D

The things I would do for #6... holy hell, those things are INSAAAAANE!!! Not sure if I'd actually brave wearing them, or just put them up on a shelf to admire. I think I'd be okay with either :P

Bre's Week in Links 7-17-11

Changed my bangs! I'm in love with the way they turned out because of the turquoise underneath the tips! Excuse my serial killer look...

My life (in spilled nail polish)

This post about Carmageddon! I really need that t-shirt in my life...

This week I miss Santigold! Watch, I'm gonna go see what she's up to and find out she released a crapload more music or something...

I need more fancy people to follow on Pinterest! Shameless self promotion! Add me!

I fell hard for these shoes in grey this week! Thinking about getting them, gonna sit on it for a bit.

This photo made me really wish I could get more tattoos... TOO GORGEOUS!

I just want to say that Xbox support are the best! Got a free Xbox by way of the Windows 7 student promotion this last week and somehow messed up our ability to get either Xbox to connect to our network while trying to get mine online! We got the best lady ever to help us, I wish I could remember her name, but I can't! Just wanna say thank you, mystery lady! You saved the day, possibly the month! <3

These Jeffrey Campbells are what my dreams are made of (I'm a shoe ho, what can I say?)

Of course, our trip to Shipwreck Beads last Wednesday! This trip was too epic and magical, I wish we could do it every week!

"I miss in music" double-banger! Anyone remember Dot Allison? This song came out when I was about 16 years old, and it's still amazing to this day! I will always have a soft spot in my heart for trip-hop.

In other trip-hop news, PORTISHEAD are touring! Holy crap! They're coming to Seattle in October, I really wanna go!

This print on Etsy made me very happy.

I got really mad that no one makes these kinds of phone cases for Androids! Come on, now! iPhone people aren't the only people in the world! Might have to make something similar myself...?

These plugs are incredible!

The Wild Wacky Action Bike commercial never gets old.

Loving Google+ so far, just needs more interesting people! Add me!

xoxo, Bre

P.S. Moved this to Sunday 'cause it doesn't really make sense to have it on Monday. Not sure what I was thinking, heh! Might even move next's week's to Saturday 'cause that would make even more sense.

Quick question...

Anyone here work with Ice Resin, particularly for casting? I am having the damndest time adding color to it. It never totally hardens, but stays somewhat flimsy/rubbery no matter how little color I add to it. Considering giving up on the Ice Resin and only using it for filling bezels, and instead using something quick-setting like Amazing Casting Resin for my casting needs.

Thoughts? Tips? Any input is appreciated! I wanna get back to making fancies asap!
