my year in instagram self portraits


hello lovely,
i was sitting on our couch thinking about how we've been in this house for one year and i couldn't believe it. one year! already? this year was the fastest yet. while i was thinking of how fast this year felt i suddenly realized i was reaching the anniversary of when i got my iphone too. (my first instagram photo was a picture of our tv set up on a rubbermaid tub) its been one year since i became married to a phone. these things are so addictive. i decided it would be fun to mark this anniversary with "a year in self portraits." just to see how i've changed over the course of a year. i noticed a few themes as well. if you look carefully you can see the many sides of alyssa: the classic vintage one, the weird one, the big haired one, the loving one. it was a pretty fun project to prep. next i might have to do "a year in dog portraits." that will be a long post...
xoxo,
alyssa renee

kitsch wish list


hello lovely,
i have a problem. in my heart i believe less is more. i want to live simply and have less clutter. BUT deep deep within i'm also obsessed with kitschy nick-nacks. i can't help it. i want an army or ceramic deer, any odd shaped planter you can think of, and everything in between. as you can see these are two very conflicting ideals. so, i will live out my kitschy dream here on the blog and save the husband some extra dusting. all of these can be found on etsy if you can't life without it. just save the plate for me please.
enjoy,
alyssa renee
