Before we dive into this week’s obsessions, we want to take a minute to address the devastation that has hit Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. While there are plenty of ways to help, we suggest donating to make sure that the displaced pets in the Houston area are taken care of. If you can, please consider donating to the SPCA of Texas, who is working to provide disaster relief to affected pets. Even better? Donate through Momma’s Gone City, who is matching all donations to the SPCA of Texas made through her Facebook page. She also has a great list of other places to donate.
And now onto our regularly scheduled And Then We Tried obsessions.

Craigslist + Mid Century Modern Dressers
This week I sold a couple of dressers I had been hoarding and now I’ve fallen back into the habit of stalking Cleveland Craigslist for amazing vintage furniture. Most of the pieces need some work, but if you can see past the terrible photos and the chipped wood, there are some diamonds in the rough out there. I was sharing my Cleveland Craigslist favorites and remixes for a while there, should I get back into that? For now, here are two mid century modern dressers I’m eyeing:
This one has no legs, but you can fix that up with the steps I took for my dresser
It is listed for $100 and is in Medina
1960’s Sterling Lindor Set
This set looks amazing and the price is great. Someone, please snatch it up! Listed at $350 for the whole set and it’s in Rocky River.

Folia Collective
I finally made it down to Folia Collective, an adorable plant store in Pasadena. This place is seriously adorable and carries indoor plants plus cute cards, pins, and accessories. If you happen to have spare time in Pasadena be sure to check it out!
Thayers Witch Hazel
Seriously loving this alcohol-free toner from Target. I’ve been using the Rose Petal but it also comes in Cucumber, Lavender, Lemon, and Original. I always used an acne astringent before this and realized it was too harsh for my skin. Making this switch has done wonders so far and fingers crossed it keeps working!

Pick Up Lines That Would Actually Work on Me
This post from The Hairpin is cracking me up. “Me and my buddy here are in the middle of a debate and I think you may be able to settle it for us. He says Casey Anthony is guilty, I say she’s innocent. Do you happen to know every single detail about the case off the top of your head?” Yes, yes I do. Marry me.
Everlane Denim
Remember last week when I admitted I’ll try just about anything Glossier produces? Same goes for Everlane, and their brand new denim line is dropping September 7! You know I’m already on the waitlist to try out their ethically made, affordable jeans.
