December Link Round Up

January 2, 2016 By Elizabeth Rice Leave a Comment

Mountain Background Girl Got Glitter December Link Round Up

Hey friends, back again with some links that have been hogging my attention and thoughts for the past month or so.

In the new year I want to learn more about something I already love: coffee. I want to learn how to actually make it and remedy my current reputation for having no clue how to even measure a proper amount of coffee for a drip coffee machine, and remove my Keurig, and Nespresso machine crutch. I hope to learn how to use a traditional espresso machine, a stove top percolator, and maybe how to cold brew too. Partly I also just want to learn more about the tradition itself, and all the types out there so I can fully appreciate good coffee. Step one: Try to sample this gradient of coffee choices in Baltimore.

Even thought I am doing a capsule wardrobe (based on the Project 333 version) for winter (and hopefully this whole year), there are still some clothing items and accessories I still enjoy fantasize about. Namely, this tencel trench coat, these fringe gold earrings, grey jeans and over the knee boots in general; this candle, this candle, and this candle; a new cute strappy date shoe like this one (didn’t say affordable), more from this brand I newly learned about via an Uptown Cheapskate find, another fun graphic shirt like this one from a favorite local Baltimore brand; and a new pair of sweats because I only own one pair anyway, and I want new pajamas. When I stare at these items I know I should be spending my time in more productive ways like blogging or filling out job applications (I want to move to a new state). But, it happens. Maybe now that I have put them here, I can stop thinking about them!

Back to the capsule wardrobe thing. I spent a lot of time (like, arguably all of 2015) psyching myself up into making the decision to do one. One post that I kept coming back to was this one. But, balance that with articles like this one that also helped inspire me to own less because I feel like I want and appreciate better things, and by having a capsule wardrobe I can achieve both the goal of appreciating evening I own, but also being able to afford the pieces I want by wasting less of my purchasing power on items I don’t end up wearing.

Some miscellaneous things: I also recently read my first issue of Architectural Digest via Guy Got Glitter’s family, and am how in love with this totally out of my price range sideboard. If I never buy a new sideboard again, would it be a justifiable purchase? Do I even need to justify it anyway? Probably not. I also love the idea of these DIY light fixtures, the vibe of this outfit, this blogger in general, the idea of this local beauty brand (I haven’t tried anything yet), and this newer blog by a jewelry designer I don’t own any pieces from yet but that I would love to own in the future.

What have you been recently stuck on?

Spring Thinking and Random Finds

February 8, 2015 By Elizabeth Rice Leave a Comment

Is it spring yet? I would love for it to be spring! Haha. In the mean time, here are a few things and thoughts I have had recently.

  • My 30th birthday is less than 5 years away, and there are some things I would love to accomplish before then. I have a fun “30 Before 30” goal list on my phone that I have been working on for months but haven’t been able to complete the whole list with 30 things that don’t feel like filler just to make it a nice round. If I ever do conceive of a perfect 30 list, I will likely write a post about it, haha. In the mean time I have started a Amazon wishlist of books that I would like to read before I am 30 (it’s still in baby mode so don’t just it for only having a few books, haha. Plus, there is no 30 books before 30 motive btw).
  • I had a cool “I am famous enough on the internet” moment recently when ClassPass reached out to me to try out their service since they recently launched in Baltimore. No joke, it is legitimately a service I have always wanted and never knew how to articulate. It’s a gym subscription to bunch the studios in your city/state for the price of basically what it costs to commit to one. I don’t have a fear of commitment when it comes to men, but I do with memberships for fitness classes, and this is the perfect solution for me. After my “try out cuz you are famous” month, I will likely sign up for a membership once I get settled with my move in March. Also, if you are interested you can skip ahead of the waitlist line and support Girl Got Glitter if you sign up with my link. Holler! Go get you some Charm City Yoga, Beachfit, Pop Physique and more!
  • I can’t remember if I have voiced this dream here… but semi related to point 1, I want to have $50,000 saved before I am 30 so I can buy a house. I have a joke/no joke hashtag that I use with Guy Got Glitter: #DreamHouseBeforeDreamCloset. But there are still things that I want to buy and own, ugh! The struggle is real, haha. I want this unique and badass necklace, these pointed toe boots, and this bright yellow sweater (I have it in the Heather Aqua color). But, instead I will put some money in my specific house down payment savings account I have told myself I am not allowed to touch, haha.
  • And, important breaking news… Nina now knows how to use her spaceship!

Saturday Morning Random Rundown

January 24, 2015 By Elizabeth Rice Leave a Comment

So, some things:

  • Words can not express my love of the Youtube Channel LightbyCoco. So sweet, so real, so relatable. I won’t be going as “light” as her but any means, but I like the perspective it gives all her videos. Like this 1 year of empties video? This girl gets me. That’s the kind of video I want to make.
  • I bought my cat a spaceship, enough said.
  • I have rekindled my love of Bloglovin because I bought myself an ipad. Tweet me your ipad app recommendations please!
  • I am going to try out a new sushi & pho restaurant with an old friend for lunch and am pretty pumped about it.
  • I am obsessed with Property Brothers on Netflix.
  • I got a new L’Oreal Consumer Testing item to do yesterday, and it’s funner than other one’s I’ve done in the past.
  • Someone talk me out of buying these Stuart Weitzman boots. Tell me how I probably should buy the marble coffee table, or am actual bedframe for my bed first!
