Strikes My Fancy #28

Hello there and welcome to this week's Strikes My Fancy post! As always good music and lots of other things that I find to be funny await!

1. Sam Smith- Safe With Me

I've been on a Sam Smith kick lately, along with everyone else in the world. Anyways, I think this is probably one of my favourite songs that he has done. Enjoy! 

2. Probably my favourite SNK thing ever. 

3. Fandom pick-up lines. Don't mind if I do.

4. Tea for two and two for tea. 

5. By far my favourite character in Firefly. 

6.  Smaug's Daily Affirmations. 

7. Some of these made me snort I was laughing so much. You're welcome. 

8. This print is simply adorable. 

9. More funny tumblr things. This time its about history because history jokes are gold.

10. Yeah pretty much. Dean Winchester is life. 

That is all for today! Thanks so much for popping by to see what caught my eye this week.

Until next time.

Stay Golden,

xxCaitlin. 

Strikes My Fancy #27

Hello and welcome to this week's Strikes My Fancy post! Tolkien and one of my most favourite songs await.

1. The Fratellis- Whistle for the Choir

I'm fairly certain that I will forever love this song. Scratch that. I'm fairly certain that I will forever love this band. All of their music is gold and if you've never had the pleasure of listening to them I would highly suggest you go change that at your earliest convenience. Enjoy. 

2. Story of my life as of late. 

3. I forgot how glorious this website was. Check it out if you need a good laugh.

4. My main man. 

5. Praise be to Left Shark. Sorry, these are just too good to pass up. 

6. 'Just My Cup of Tea' Mug.

7. Classiest Star Wars themed wedding ever. 

8. Just makes my heart happy.

9. Galentine's Day. 

10. Mhmmm. 

I've been writing this post for quite some time now... Always coming back to it each Tuesday and trying to add things, but always finding myself so incredibly unmotivated that I never actually hit publish. These posts are some of my favourites to write because I get to share things that I fancy with all of you, and because they don't require too much effort on my part. I don't know what was up with my inability to write these posts the past couple of weeks, but here's to breaking the Strikes My Fancy hiatus; even if it is a day late. 

Thank you all so much for tuning in and I will see you on Friday!

Stay Golden,

xxCaitlin.

Strikes My Fancy #22

Hello there and welcome to this week's Strikes My Fancy post! I'm sorry that it is a day late, however I came home for Thanksgiving break yesterday and I decided to spend the day with my family instead of publish a post. Thank you for your understanding. Anyways, good music and fantastic thanksgiving recipes await!

1. Hate To See Your Heart Break- Paramore ft. Joy Williams

So this little baby finally came out yesterday and I couldn't be more in love. When I saw that two of my favourite female vocalists would be teaming up for one of my favourite songs off of P-more's new album I was stoked. The duo definitely delivered. Their voices pair exceptionally well and help to better deliver the overall feel of the song. Listen and enjoy my friends.

2. Sup.

3. Because no day is complete without puppies dressed as Disney characters.

4. Priorities.

5. In honor of Thursday. Loads of vegan Thanksgiving recipes that look positively delightful. 

6. Street art amazes me. 

7. This song because I didn't want to overwhelm y'all with Noah Gundersen. This is my favourite song on the album and I have had it on repeat lately. 

8. This picture of Frodo and his scale double. 

9. This scene that was not included in the movies. My heart. 

10.  Perfection.

That is all for today! Thank you so much for tuning in. I hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you eat your weight in food! Until next time.

Stay Golden,

xxCaitlin.

This song is fantastic. This band is fantastic. Do yourself a favor and go listen to the rest of their stuff because it is great. Enjoy friends!

2. Best. Line. Ever.

4. Halloween fun, as promised. 

Alice and a Scarecrow. 

5. Funny Star Wars jokes are funny. 

6. Winter. Pinterest is fueling the inspiration for my final illustration project.

8. Simply perfect.

9. London Fog Tea Latte. Give it here please. 

10. On the bright side...

Stay Golden,

Fly Friday: I Have a Hat.

All photos were taken by my talented buddy Mitch. 

I just don't even know you guys.

That is a little better. It is all in the preparation my friends.

SASS.

Top(similar here and here)/Hat/Booties: Forever 21

Skirt: Ruche

Belt: Lavo

Bracelet (similar)/Ring: Jewelmint

Happy Friday my friends! I, for one, could not be happier that it is Friday. I have an incredibly long weekend of football games, work, and hugging ahead of me so you could say I am pretty excited for it. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING TO WACO. I get my dearest friend Madison, my blonde counterpart Allie, and my wonderful mother and kid brother this weekend. I am stoked. 

So naturally I celebrate with new clothes (I apparently celebrate a lot of things). This skirt is probably one of my favourite recent purchases. Ruche sent it in an email and then again posted it on Instagram, so that was basically a sign that I needed it. This is my first ever Ruche purchase. I've perused their site for a couple years now, but could never bring myself to splurge on anything.  I have several items that are listed on their site, but I've never actually gone through Ruche to get them.  Now I have, and I am in love. Their customer service rocks and the shipping process was surprisingly painless, which is a rarity. 

Moral of the story: Ruche is a splendid company, and definitely worth looking into. 

Anywho. I was having a conversation about hats the other day with my friend. This particular style of hat is currently everywhere, yet I never actually see people wearing them. I love my hats, but even I hardly wear them besides for photoshoots. I just carry them around with me almost like a hand-bag, without ever actually putting it on my noggin' where it belongs. I just need to move to England I think. They have tea, hats, and basically everything else that is fantastic. 

Maybe someday, but in the meantime I'm going to enjoy life here in good ole' Waco. Thanks for stopping by!

Stay Golden,

xxCaitlin.
