Beautiful Beautiful Rest

This past week has been one of the laziest of my entire life. On Monday I went to the Emergency Room with an extremely sore throat and, four and a half hours later, I found out I had strep throat. So, I've been confined to my room. No work. Barely any contact with the outside world. Just me, my laptop, a pile of books, and a whole lot of tea.
The thing is that I've discovered I hate just wearing, well the best word I can think to use is: schlumpy clothes all the time. I might be sick but I still like to feel... pretty. An oversized t-shirt and old sweatpants are only good for so long.
So I put on my prettiest pair of leggings, a very comfortable lace bra, and a nice flowy top.


Then I went hunting on the internet, browsing all my favorite online stores to find beautiful nightgowns, sweatpants, and other loungewear to dream about. I found some amazing stuff. Now I know what to go shopping for next!

A little bit of lace.

I find it funny that I am so obsessed with lace. When I was young I thought any kind of frill to be incredibly distasteful. Now I can't get enough of it.


My friends laugh at how overly romantic I can be. I tend to be so old-fashioned and dreamy. It's like I'm dancing around in my own little pretty world. And it's true! In everything that I do I try to create a feeling of soft beauty. That old kind of beauty where details are important and everything is made with the utmost care. I think that's the main reason why I find lace so alluring. It is a small detail that adds so much to the simplest of pieces. It gives character and appeal. It creates that wonderful vintage feel and that elegance that I miss. I just adore it!









I definitely need to think about adding a little more lace to my closet.
