I found this “cute” etsy store last night online while surfing the net at 2AM.

Long story; I woke up to feed my baby and couldn’t seem to get back to sleep – it was just one of those nights where my mind was just wondering all over the place.

Alas I headed over to one of my favorite design blogs, which by the way has a new awesome look, Decor8 for some late night inspiration. While reading I had clicked through a link that led me to the FredFlare site, which I had totally forgotten about, but is one of those online retailers that you’d love to window surf because of all the fun stuff. You know like that hamburger phone from Juno.

Anyways this is how I onto Etsy.com, can’t quite remember how I got there, but you know these things go, but boy was I glad to find this LaOtra store! Really pristine vintage dresses and tops, for cheap! I’m also seduced by the little stories she writes up to go along as product description. they are so different, poetic and romantic!

I would like to do an Etsy feature now at least once a week on the blog, because of all the good stuff I found, that I know you’d love too.
So lets kick off the first of many good finds with the little etsy shop by LaOtra. Here’s some of her stuff.

Pictured above: The Fearless Vacationer $16, The Good Student $21, The Other Coy Mistress $28, The Natural Woman $30

I give her 4 TOOCUTE’s.

Ok, so I’m having this debate with my hubby over some changes I’m making to the blog. He hates the black and pink, his reason being he thinks its cheesy and a white background is very classy.

Frankly, I got really tired of looking at the white background, as it looked like every other blog, and I love color!

So I want to find out from you, my dear readers what you think, as its your thoughts that really matters, anyways. Are you feeling the new more colorful blog, or is it indeed horrible, and you’d much rather the white background?

Ok…you’ve spoken and i’ve heard you loud and clear, I’m bring the white background back
