Shop Talk No. 5

Aquarius style shopping

Hi everyone! I haven’t done one of these in awhile, so I’d like to update you on my shopping habits. There is no better way to cure the depression of winter darkness and cold than to purchase a bunch of funky stuff. And with me, funky it will be!

My birthday was a couple days ago, and it reminded me of the mercurial nature of my taste. Like a true Aquarian, my style is eclectic and ever-evolving. Hard to pin down. Unpredictable. I can never decide which style personality I want to impress onto my home. So, I wanted to share each of these personalities in the hopes that maybe one of you can appreciate some of these amazing finds!

If you’re interested in any of my other collections of finds, I do this a lot. Some very specific collections I’ve linked:

Pregnancy Outfits, At My House, My Favorite Sweaters, My Fave Beauty Products

A VICTORIAN HEIRESS

I yearn for a fancier time. This part of me loathes the casual nature of our society, and I love this kind of formality in style. This is the serious part of my style, where I honor the architecture of my house, and the craftsmanship of objects. Loving the little tassel, I want to put them on the drawers of my desk.

A COTSWOLDS GARDENER

I wish I was an English gardener. This kind of style inspires me to take my house into my own hands. I want to paint my own lampshades. Build a garden shed. Plant a cut flower garden.
