DIY / How To Turn a Ceiling Fan into a Pendant Lamp without Re-wiring
This DIY should technically fall under Renter Hacks because if I owned this place I would have simply hired someone to remove this ceiling fan and install a pendant lamp and call it a day (I don’t mess with electrical). But sometimes having constraints forces you to get a little creative and that’s just what …
And There’s a Cold, Lonely Light that Shines From You
What I’m Wearing… * Plaid coat by C/MEO Collective… last seen here * Vintage Oscar de La Renta men’s suit pants (I’ve had them for 100million years. I thrifted them at least 20 years ago) I’ve found so many items I haven’t seen in years in my recent move while trying to organize my closet …
And Fade it Out Just Like a Setting Sun
What I’m Wearing… * Vintage pink sweater from the 80s (locally thrifted recently) and it’s probably more of a dusty rose or mauve. Everything was MAUVE in the 80s. I also recently bought a MAUVE lamp at a different local thrift shop for the MAUVE lampshade it had. She wouldn’t sell me the shade alone, …
DIY Abstract Art // How to Paint Over An Existing Canvas Painting
A few months ago… way back in summer, I had the urge to paint my drippy watercolor flowers that I had previously only done on paper, on a much larger scale and on a canvas. My first thought was to buy a pre-stretched canvas, but they are always so expensive and never in the larger …
Black Friday I’m In Love // A Few of My New Favorite Things…
Happy Friday Lovecats! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, if you do celebrate, and if not, I hope you had a wonderful Thursday! I, for one, had a really nice day with my mom and stepdad, filled with zero stress and much laughter and of course, great food. I ended the evening cozy cuddling …
Didn’t Notice You Walking All Over My Peace of Mind
What I’m Wearing… * Victoria’s Secret fold-over yoga leggings. I can’t help it, they are my faves. In fact, the newer ones are not as good as the older ones, I think they have more cotton so they attract more lint (aka DOG HAIR) and they don’t stay as tight BUT I still love them. …
Self-care Sunday / Motivation Monday
I spent much of last week struggling mentally and wondering why I felt so anxious and emotional and while I was able to narrow it down to a handful of things that could be causing my dis-ease (I mean, duh), when I dug deeper beyond circumstances, I realized that I was stuck in a loop …
Shopping on the Mountain // Hilltop Haus
At the beginning of last month (October), after stopping at the farmer’s market in Twin Peaks, Michelle and I took a little drive to Running Springs to check out a new little shop that just opened up called Hilltop Haus and it did not disappoint! I don’t go to Running Springs often, but it’s another …
It’s Alright ‘Cause There’s Beauty in the Breakdown
What I’m Wearing… * Vintage-inspired Jeans from AGolde – I still love these! Also seen here and here in 2020. They look like old Levi’s 501s but are more flattering (on me anyway) and I still love this cropped length and ps. they have a double pocket detail on the butt 🙂 – these are …
DIY Modern Round Kitchen Dining Table with Contrasting Base
Moving into the townhouse meant a lot of downsizing, which I am not so good at. I still have so much stuff from my first house in storage and well, you get the point. I have a lot of stuff and this is the year it’s either staying or it’s going. First to go was …

Home & Decor Inspo // The New Contemporary Design Look
The best part of moving into a new place is DECORATING. Okay, maybe not for everyone, but for me, this is the best part. I’m actually a little worried that when I’m finished (I mean, are we ever “finished” though?) I’ll be bored and have nothing to do… and then I promptly remind myself that …
If Only for Today, I am Unafraid
What I’m Wearing… * Cropped rust sweatshirt – I have this in so many colors now it’s not even funny! It’s the perfect cropped length for high waists and it’s under $25 * Levi’s Ribcage Rainbow Jeans – I bought these last fall to wear and never did! This is my first time wearing them …
Life Update // New Beginnings and Fresh Starts… I moved
Hi Lovecats and Happy November! I’ve got a little life update I’ve been wanting to share with you for the past few weeks but haven’t been able to because my site has been basically broken, but it also seems fitting that I share now, at the beginning of the month, so here goes… I moved. …
