Cat Caught My Tongue and Other Randomness

Shirt, Clutch, Necklace: Thrifted from Lollypop Vintage; Jeans: JBrand "Kiki"; Sunglasses: BCBG; Shoes and Earrings: H&M;

It's Anyhoosday, I mean Tuesday, and well honestly, I'm plum out of things to say.  Maybe someone can help me find my brain because I think it may have ran away.  No???  Not today?  Ok.  I guess I'll go another round of hide and seek with it.

Sporting my thrifted finds here.  If you don't know by now, I really love to find items that are symbolic (like butterflies) or represent me in some way.  Hence this gold lion necklace.  Astrologically speaking, I am a leo, and I have always felt a strong affinity towards my sign.  Thank heavens it didn't change when the stars shifted.  Astro-identity crisis aborted.  Phew. Naturally, I purred when I found this necklace.  It's just a little piece of leo fierceness around my neck. 

On a completely random, and I mean most random note ever, if only I could somehow mix butterflies and lions together to create the perfect specimen.

Hmmm...I would call it 'Lionfly'.  

Just in case the Man above may be listening, I have sketched a preliminary rough draft.  (Not drawn to scale.)     


And there you have it folks.  In case I couldn't get any stranger, I just did.  I told you my brain was in jumbles today.  From one thing to the next.  I'm going now before this gets embarrassing.  Wait - it already did?  ....

I am so in love with your blog!! Love the shirt and the photos look great. You mentioning about a 'Lionfly' brought back some fond childhood memories of a TV show I used to watch called:

Wuzzles

It was an island fill with animals that had been mixed up, e.g. Lion and a bee = bumblelion, Bear and a butterfly = butterbeat, etc, I think you get the drift....
