Life’s little surprises: Part 2

Now, I realize that these next two surprises that I stumbled upon are not nearly as incredible as my Oprah egg story. However, I realized that life’s little surprises do not need to have an incredible back story to make them special or important. The theme of surprise is itself priceless.

One thing you may not know about me is that I’m obsessed with clocks! Especially old, vintage clocks. I love the architectural design of them and the concept of how a decorative piece can be functional and useful as well. I mean, we all need to know what time it is, right? Once again, while organizing a few things, I found this small clock. I couldn’t believe it. It was so cute and charming. On top of that, it was impeccable timing, (pun intended), for me to find the clock, because I’ve been contemplating getting a new one for my room. On another note, I love clocks that have roman numerals on them. In my opinion, it makes the time piece look very sophisticated.

I’m still on the hunt for the perfect clock necklace, but until then, I’ll spend my time watching the time with this quaint clock.

Life’s little surprises

Don’t you love those moments in life when something small, charming, and unexpected pops up? Well I had a few of those moments today. While organizing my closet, I found a small package tucked behind a few shoe boxes. Puzzled, I looked at the label, and familiarity dawned on me. It was a golden egg signed by Oprah Winfrey! Now, I know what you’re probably thinking, why would Oprah of all people autograph a decorative egg? Well I’m still trying to figure that mystery out myself. My mother works at a television station, and back in the ’90s they were doing some kind of partnership with Oprah’s show. Somehow, because of that, Oprah herself sent the prized egg to the station, and somehow through all of the quirkiness of it, my mother ended up with it. Funny isn’t it? A couple of years ago, my mother discovered the ornament hidden in her office, and now coming full circle, I found it hidden in my closet. It’s hilarious seeing the parallels between the two stories. It’s one of those moments where people might not believe it if they didn’t see it, so here it is. I guess Oprah has that effect on people.

Quaint Cottage Comforts

With summertime just around the corner, (My exams are over in a week), I’ll be moving out of my first dorm. However, with a new school year only a mere three months away, I have to start planning for my new room. I love interior decorating! While looking around for ideas, I came across these beautiful photographs on tumblr of flowers and cottages that were so quaint, vintage, and classic. I immediately knew that I wanted a cottage themed room. I couldn’t believe my luck when I stumbled across this duvet cover at Target from Simply Shabby Chic. It was the perfect brand name to match my new dorm theme. I dream of owning a quaint cottage some day, and soaking up the picturesque countryside. But until then, this bedding and gorgeous images can satisfy my new craving.

With only a week left of school, that means that there’s only a week left until I start debuting my new “What I Wore” posts! I can’t wait. So stay tuned.
