i could go on and on about how this band's web site is the best i've ever seen. or you could just go see for yourself. my heart is still pounding it was that good.

i could share all of the screenshots i took, but i won't. because i took a lot. and i don't want to make anyone mad. my favorite is that moon phases one though. typography like that just pulls at my heart strings.

just. go. now. but beware... it'll put any road-trip chronicles of your own to shame.

oh... and the music? a nice discovery, as well. go buy a record so they can afford to give their site designer a raise.

i've kept these hand-dyed tights stowed away in my inbox for an embarrassingly long time now. but oh my god are they not awesome? i can't even imagine wearing a pair right now in this july heat, but i'd love to own a pair for the fall.

happy weekend, all!

this sums up everything i've ever felt about life. though i wouldn't mind a little money if it found its way to me.

and p.s. welcome, cup of jo readers!

jeffrey campbell.

these wingtips are in my cart. just waiting for me to make a decision. just waiting. poor things. how could i disappoint them?

couverture.

i know i say i must have a lot of things. but in this case... i really must have it.

via design is mine.

my take thursday.

and don't forget to check out the thursdays you've missed!

good thursday to all.

some pretty to get your day started... if i had my way, my hair would look like either of these on any given day. i'd also have a tiny heart on my cheekbone and black cherry-red lips.

i wish i could tell you all about where i got the photos, but you know how i roll.

stay tuned for my take thursday.

taking suggestions for paris and amsterdam!

we've got a couple hotels in mind for our trip, but i knew you guys would have some wonderful suggestions.

hotel, restaurants, shopping, etc. in paris and amsterdam... what do you recommend?

shoe plea.

i need help... after much (awholehellofaton) searching, i came across this photo of the shoes i am seeking. but i want white. who knows where i can get them? i know they're like $3.50 shoes, so it shouldn't be hard, but i am having an awful time.

ideas?

p.s. yes, toms are similar. but i am not buying toms. sorry. guess i hate kids.
p.p.s. these ninja shoes are kind of cool.

more street style*.

ok! one more from lookbook that i couldn't not share...

THIS is the girl i want to be. her bangs, her poppy pleated dress, her vespa...

i am not, however, a fan of the photographer who chopped off her feet. ouch! as woody gaddis would say.

*albeit a little too styled.

street style.

styles i am loving lately...

honestly, i just snatched these from my style file and am not completely certain of their origin. but i think it's safe to say they're all from lookbook. please correct me if that's not the case.

i'm so swamped this week and i feel awful because the blog's been dull! just trying to get in as much extra work ($$$) before vacation as possible. things will be back to normal soon!

what i wouldn't give to own every single one of these pieces. i love how what i initially thought to be a child's dress isn't at all.

you know i love a good hat.

where i will be spending the next week.

it's like god created these flickr sets just for me.

imagine what a nice world we'd live in with posters like these. plus other classics such as this and this.

some things i find myself in dire need of... if only i had an entire paycheck to blow.

p.s. my take thursday will be up later in the day... still deciding on my favorite look for the week.

IN LOVE.

as you may have already noticed, i am not big on capital letters. they are ugly and i am adamantly against them whenever i can get away with it (not often, being a copy editor and all).

so you know this has got to be pretty serious.

louboutin + sparkle = LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. and the best part? knowing there are sweet red soles under there.

thanks to hot child in the city for getting me all hot and bothered.

old navy.

i picked these up today at old navy, and i can't wait to get some wear out of them. like when it's not 98 degrees.

three more weeks until my high caps out at 80. lovely.

both of these jackets are super-soft... first one, and the second one. i recommend. and, somehow, one rang up at like $14. so, go me.

public enemies.

i won't lie... i've been waiting months and months to see public enemies. johnny depp & marion cotillard & christian bale & cars & clothes.

cannot wait.

chloe.

how could you not adore her?
