Stuff to Read

• Being a girl who's pushing 30 and still freaks out over Hello Kitty like a 5 year old, I've struggled with "should I be more like an adult" for a while.  But Twinkie Chan always brings me back to what I love.  She wrote a great piece this week that makes me so happy.  Who cares?!  Have fun!
• This isn't really a read, but if you love vintage makeup looks then you'll love this new video by Lisa Eldrige that features a signature Bettie Page look.
• Self Hate? Self Love? How About Self-Indifference? I love this commentary on women's magazines and the content that's become a standard over the years.

Stuff to Make

• Dino ring holder!  I want to make it pink and glittery ^_^
• A gilded pinata is a great way to customize the decoration with your party color palette. 
• Heidi Kenney's got a great DIY for some retro inspired Halloween bunting.  You can even buy the fabric she uses on Spoonflower.

Stuff to Wear

• Galaxy nail wraps from Nasty Gal!  I'm way too lazy to do this polish, so the wraps are perfect.
• I'm so sad this bag isn't available anymore...or I just can't find it.  It's such a gorgeous leather cross-body bag!
• Some day, when it's cold in Texas, I'm going to wear the hell out of this outfit.

Stuff to Eat

• PERFECTION!  S'mores donuts.  All is right with the world.
• I love marshmallows, I think these caramel covered marshmallows would be great in...s'mores.
• I am a Food Blog is one of my favorites because their photography and visuals are so strong.  Plus they give me recipes like this.

Stuff from TPS this Week

• Asian grocery candy aisle haul!  It's all been demolished already.  That Pocky didn't stand a chance.
• I posted the results of my DIY Dip-Dyed Circle Scarf.  I'm definitely making a few more of these!
• A DIY and tour of our new shelving.  Super simple to hang and I'm so happy all our nerdy collections are out.
• For Thrifty Thursday, I visited Amelia's Retro-Vogue & Relics.  The oldest single-owner vintage shop in Austin!
• And I shared all my August Daily Drawings together.  So many girls!
