two things.

to reiterate uncrate's initial thoughts on the apple iphone... ho-ly shit. what an exciting day!

i say this not because i have any clue what this really means for the mobile market, but because i – like many mac users – pride myself in judging books by their covers, figuratively speaking.

i like a beautifully designed and well-performing product and don't require much beyond that, hence my love for apple and excitement for the iphone.

secondly, i adore the little boy in steve jobs' presentations. that hair! those eyes!

that's all.

not-so-mellow yellow.

piazza cotton jacket
j.crew, $140

i hereby proclaim all shades of yellow as my official color of spring. while this jacket embodies everything i could possibly love about one item, i fear it's best left to the girls with the right coloring.

being the light-colored gal that i am, i think i should stick with yellow accessories, or skirts, at least (the farther from my face, the better).

but wait! let's all remember michelle williams last year at the oscars. she was positively radiant.

and, though i've never particularly liked kristen bell, thanks to the little shit she played on deadwood, i came across this photo lately and found it inspiring.



so let's make spring 2007 the season of red lips and yellow greatness!

love the tie on the waistband.

velvet. i'm also really into velvet right now.

and, of course, there are these beauties, which i wore for the first time yesterday and absolutely adore.

picture has come!

inspired by miss holly's great find (a cloche perhaps? i will hunt down for my own as soon as i get a moment), i am using this beautiful little trilby as my greed-inducing find o' the day. because i like to think my life is a humphrey bogart movie.

happy birthmonth to me.

garnet=my birthstone and oh so pretty. i especially love how these look like little twigs with berries.

dark garnet earrings
etsy, $23

happy 2007!

i love skirts.

i know we're just a few days into winter but now that christmas is over, my mind is on the spring. and, for me, spring means skirts. so, with my shiny new sewing machine (yay! a christmas present!), i plan to spend my weekeneds sewing up cute little skirts and bags.

but, until i can get this crazy stitching stuff down, i will look forward to this (which would go beautifully with these).

knit wit.

because terrorists are funny. and because crocheted terrorists are even funnier.

and, now that i've just been added to the terror watch list, i think it's safe to say this:

i think mahmoud ahmadinejad is the cutest of all the religious zealots.

happy december to all.

you remember when i promised a gift guide, right?

well, i was really planning to do that until it occurred to me that the 500+ posts that so far make up this sad little blog are, truly, a gift guide in and of themselves.

so, tonight, instead of the gift of a promise kept, i'm here to tell you...

...you're welcome.

sorry about the shitty res on that teacup. i got frustrated and gave up on fixing it. anyway...
