i'm working on my male fanbase with these vs posts, you see.
i'm a big fan of this suit. it's very similar to the dkny suit i had last summer that didn't see nearly enough play. this one is tempting, though. i'd choose black.

the weather her today was absolutely beautiful for the first time in what seems like forever. so now i am ready for warm, sunny days. i'm even more ready to dress for warm, sunny days.
(this comes in a thousand colors. green is where i would start.)

i've searched high and low (bike aisle of target) for a cute basket for my bike, and now i've found one.
i would throw my dog (this is all hypothetical) and a loaf of bread in the basket and ride about, like i live in paris.
my bike is blue. and i like this green. and i like how the green really wouldn't make any sense on the blue bike. i like that.
this is my bike, by the way. it is cute.

sick still, and i think i've watched more tv in the last three days than i have in the last three years. family ties, though. what a riot. i was happy to catch that today.
so, anyway, family ties. you can't help but love that alex p. keaton.

i'm on the quest for denim but won't commit until i drop two sizes. these are a nice incentive.

though i wasn't crazily impressed with yesterday's shows, what i saw from michael kors got me pretty excited ...
one, tons of gray (with yellow!); two, it was all very wearable; and, three: though i suppose they're nothing new on the runway, lots and lots of huge sunglasses.
and i can't tell if i like that first shot for its adorable jacket or if it's because anouck lepere looks so happy and cute.
a lot of times betsey johnson is a little too over the top for me, but i love these three looks.

i keep seeing promos everywhere for lost, and i am so behind. i haven't been caught up on tv since around november, and my dvr is so backlogged. at this point, unless i'm stricken – blessed – with a bout of mono (wouldn't that be nice? sleepytime and weightloss), it doesn't look like i'll ever be catching up on it.
grey's anatomy keeps trying to lure me in with all this talk of drama on the set, but i refuse to watch it until i start where i left off (sometime in december). 24 has only been on a month, and i still haven't been able to watch.
you'd think i'd be able to handle a three-hour-a-week commitment.
i think having a more ideal entertainment setup would solve this problem. when i say 'entertainment setup,' i don't mean an obnoxious entertainment center with 18 speakers, a huge tv and dvds stacked all over it. i can't stand that.
something like this sideboard would be perfect. plenty of hidden storage for all that crap that's ugly. with a couple pretty books and a vase on top, i think it would look quite right.

one look at this, and i want to be a master of my sewing machine.
from marchesa, fall 2007.
i promise there will be no more talk of yellow after this. i just thought this was the sweetest little suit, and, really, just a sweet picture.
from the chris benz fall collection [sidenote: cute web site].
i'm always a fan of the strapless dress, and these are just so nice, especially with the wide banding at the bottom.
from lela rose's fall 2007 collection.
i want these really,really bad. they are so cute. usually i'm kind of opposed to any cutesy bullshit, namely ribbons and bows, on shoes but these are priced just right to make it ok.

it has been a while since i last visited the site of brilliant design duo freddy&ma.
their work – and the philosophy behind it – is so inspiring, i could browse their designs for hours. take a look for yourself and see how far they've come since i last mentioned them.

so i was feeling blog inspired today and have somehow managed to screw up the html (it seems impossibly more difficult with the new blogger) and have not accomplished what i set out to do.
so, please be patient with me as i work to repair it over the next day or two. i only say this because i'm tired of working on it today and it will have to look funny until i become reinspired (hopefully tomorrow).
finally... a boot to fit my monster calves. part galosh, part woolly goodness. [via daily candy.]
sorry for the unannounced absence. was visiting my favorite friend in san francisco. (thank you, holly, for the san frantastic time!) ate lots of tasty food and bought lots of fun things.
and now i'm home.

thanks to my fondness for bags of any kind, i can't help having the nerdy obsession with laptop bags. this one is quite nice, would fit my ibook perfectly and is on sale for hella cheap.
