I'm always on the hunt for interesting and unique finds to shop for, and so Etsy is a great place to find inspiration for items that you won't find anywhere else. Spent about three hours yesterday just searching and refreshing the site to find things that would make my list for today. I've rounded up 8 lovely picks that are just so perfect and have been 'starred' for future reference! My absolute favorite has to be that scarf with the beautiful words of Jane Austen, and then the Tattooed Lady Print by The Black Apple! What do you guys think? Any shops on Etsy that are your favorites?

Always,
Mostly Lisa

How gorgeous does this woman look?! Image credit: Flickr

I love finding a trend that was popular years ago and ends up popping up again in this decade. I was really surprised to see that the bermuda short was going to be one of these trends for Spring 2013. Now, I'm not one that is going to personally wear this trend because I do not have the right body type for them. If I did, I would prefer slimmer cut Bermudas so as not to add extra volume to my legs or waist. So for women who do, it can be really chic to wear these shorts with a pair of flats or heels. That's the great thing about them, you can wear them in a comfy way or even in a dressed up way and they still look great.  These shorts can give you some great coverage too, for those legs that are not yet tanned, and will keep you cool when it starts to get sweltering out. So I decided to put together two looks that I would wear, if I had the right body type.
 
This would be a great daytime look. Thought it would be fun to add a pair of sandals to give it a more casual style. I love these Alice + Olivia cuffed Bermudas in a army green color.
 
I'm not one to wear really high heels because I'm already 5'8", so these ModCloth mid-heels are absolutely perfect for this dressy outfit. I thought to pair a blazer to give it a more sophisticated look!
 
So readers, what do you think of the Bermuda trend? Let me know!
 
Have a great weekend!

Trendy Saturday: The Bermuda Short


Wow, it's been awhile since I actually updated. Life has been pretty busy. I'm in school, working at GapKids, and also interning for Choix. It's been pretty intense these last couple months, but I somehow have gotten by. So I figured I'd start anew with a 'These Things' post for November. All of these things I am currently obsessing about. To a vintage coat from the 1920s, to Hook and Aurora from the ABC show Once Upon A Time, and to a gorgeous new cover of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I am definitely prepping for Christmas this year.

These Things: November '12 Edition
 
 

 
Sweater: LC by Lauren Conrad
Tank: Forever21
Pants: Dorothy Perkins
Necklace: Vintage store in New York
Shoes: Zara
Ahhh, I do love Autumn. It brings out tons of comfy sweaters, dark colors, and playing in the leaves! I am in love with this sweater because not only is it a gorgeous color, but it's super comfy and perfect for layering. Which is perfect because the weather here in Minnesota has decided to bring out a cold chill in the air. Makes me want to put on several layers and also to curl up in bed and read a good book!
