I think I like compartmental living. When I was younger I used to be fascinated with the Japanese lifestyle and how perfectly compartmentalized their living spaces are. I was also fascinated with motorhomes too, naturally. I would draw them and dream about going on cross country trips. I think if I ever stop moving around in my little mobile home, I'd love to live in a house like the one in the movie Totoro. It has the Japanese compartmentalized feel, but it's in the middle of nature. Perfect. But really, who wouldn't want to live in any Miyazaki film. So magical!
I got this amazing necklace from The Morose Bee, and I love it! I'm definitely a fan of unique necklaces. I think I have a penchant for hanging my favorite things from around my neck. I have a Star Trek Enterprise necklace, a polaroid camera necklace, a scrimshaw square rigger necklace, and now a bicycle necklace! It's too cute. She's got some really fun things in her shop and for the month of July she's offering free shipping!
Okay, well, It's nearly 1 pm and my family is bugging me to go to lunch so I should probably put on some clothes and look like a decent human being. I've got an update on my Blog Garage Sale coming up later today that I've been meaning to post for a couple days, so stay posted!

First comment?
I lived in japan for two months and it was a really interesting experience. Everything is so small and neat and compact.
I really like your belt. It looks like the kind of belt that goes with just about everything.
Also your hair is great.

That necklace is so cute! Can't wait to hear all about your travelling adventures
I moved 2 times last year and it was craziness!! I must've donated about 2/3 of my life, because packing it up was just too much. We moved from a small space to a smaller space, then to a huge place! But I believe in a more minimalist existence. It frees up the mind:) The compartmental thing is such an interesting lifestyle that I wish America would embrace more. Americans just have too much stuff in general and no place to put it!
I definitely have too many clothes and books!
How exciting you moved into your own place! I love these photos, is your hair darker? Looks great
haha all i really need in life are my clothes and my laptop as well. and my camera, definitely my camera. :)
you look gorgeous in these shots and the bicycle necklace is fantastic.
I love Free People! That dress is too cute, and so is the bicycle necklace. I have one sort of like it except its gold and a little smaller I think. That third photo of you is absolute stunning!!
I really really really like that bike necklace

You look great Elizabeth! And what a cute necklace...now you need a Brave necklace :]
I wiiiissh all I owned were clothes and my laptop. I feel like I own too much, but I always get afraid of throwing stuff away in case I'll need it one day. Guess I'm a packrat.
I have more books than clothes and imagine how difficult it is for me to move! I'd love to have just clothes and laptop but I cant' stop buying books!
lovely weather! it's raining all the time where I live so I get jealous every time I see pictures taken in the sun
I love your dress, and it looks great with that belt!! Your necklace is so cool too, and these photos are amazing!!

your photography looks so soft. Very pretty! Your dress is pretty cute too.
Although I like the idea of new place, unpacking = never fun.

third picture! so gorgeous, i've never seen you post a portrait-like photo before. you look stunning. love :]
I totally hate moving - it always reminds me how much junk i have and it takes sooo long! glad you're all sorted now! by the way I LOVE that trashcan photo... so cool!
I've been waiting to hear an update about your blog garage sale! I love blogger shops :)
Oh man, Miyazaki films are my favorite, especially my neighbor totoro! I love how Japanese homes utilize what little space they have so well. The eat, sleep, and watch tv in a single room, which somehow always remains so clean. Guess you have to be if you want a multi-functional room :)
How on earth do you make garbage cans appealing?
Now thats talent!

I've spent a year studying abroad and you're right..the only things you need are your clothes and a laptop (and a few books if you're me)!
Love the necklace, it is really unique!

Love that dress, it's so adorable. And I absolutely love Miyazaki films. My fiance and I watch them all the time. I too love that house, and think everything about it was perfect!
You make trash cans look amazing!
