just a quick post this AM, summer is winding down and work is winding up! I'm going to be a style geek here and make a declaration of love with a item of clothing! I gotta say that this is my favorite skirt! ever. I feel 70's sophisticated (is that possible?), and lady-like, yet comfy.... In general I feel fabulous in this outfit....


outfit details: skirt: thrifted, tank: F21, shoes: mall (dyed by me)


unfortunately my tomato plants which were thriving were blown over in a storm a few days and I fear my season of tomato is done! I was pulling of a bountiful amount everyday (handfuls full!)

diy: tin can planter

In my efforts to be productive but avoid doing any actual cleaning I decided to do a little diy garden project, all I did was transplant my new Jasmine plant to an old cookie tin container. This is an easy-peasy project (it took me 3 minutes and it didn't cost me anything!) I love jasmine it has a pretty little white blossom and is a sun-lover and since my middle name is Yasmine I've always been fond of this sweet smelling plant.


so here's all I did....
with a large nail and a hammer I poked a few holes in the bottom of my tin can (which I got at Christmas time from World Market, it was full of yummy gingersnaps)


I placed a few rocks in the bottom of my tin can and then put the plant into the can and filled it in with some planting soil


place the tin can on an old plate or tray and ...VOILA!
