whimsyville vintage.

my heart is breaking into a thousand sparkly little pieces for these shoes.

on a related note (ok it was the impetus behind the mustache post)... a funny read. hooray for mustache-free kisses!

pretty.

shoes, please.





it hit me tonight that i hadn't purchased a pair of shoes in a really, really, really long, depressing time. i've gotten really close to hitting 'place order' a couple times already but i am resisting. and it hurts so bad.

p.s. i'd really like to own these come fall. they just scream back to school. oh and these, too. no! it's summer! think summer thoughts.

alexander girard.

i love.

good monday morning!

happy official summer... can't summer be summer without the 100 degrees and 80 percent humidity?

these shoes (frye, of course) + this dress = perfection. maybe a little matchy matchy perfection. but perfection nonetheless.

camp comfort's how i'd wear it.


yesterday i mentioned camp comfort's how i'd wear it series. well, today, you'll find my contribution!

the shorts totally reminded me of being a kid so i thought it was appropriate to channel the character that shaped my sartorial ways then (i was a 10-year-old child of the 70s): veda from my girl.

oh, and semi-related... now and then. oh how i loved those movies.

thank you so much, roberta jane, for including me in the fun, and welcome to camp comfort readers!

built by wendy.

not only am i enamored by these dresses... i think that model just too cute with her red lips and messy hair.

longchamp by jeremy scott.

so, bidding is open: who's going to buy this for me?

my take thursday.

something i've wanted to do for a while is start creating my own takes on street style shots i find particularly inspiring. i'll start with this one by none other than the the sartorialist. speaking of, maybe someone can explain governor's island to me. is it always so magical?

*halters for the most part don't win points with me. this one wins the points for all the rest of them.
**felt this was great as is. no change needed.

p.s. have y'all checked out camp comfort's how i'd wear it series? it features a single item chosen by roberta jane with other bloggers' takes on how they'd wear it (i bet you took that much from the name, though, right?). so far, so great.

french connection.

splendid striped simplicity. that funnel neck and those buttons. oh my.

nancy z. @ lookbook.

she is so unfailingly cute.

target vs. american apparel.

was excited to find some skirts at target (left; $10) to rival the jersey pocket skirt (right; $30) at american apparel. while there aren't as many color options, i think the price more than makes up for that.

plum pretty sugar.

such a pretty kimono-style robe from plum pretty sugar.

so this weekend i went to a gem trade show. i oohed and aahed over the pretty sparklies, and then i silently wept because the tiniest of stones cost so much.

and i thought of this ring.

ever since i saw this tourmaline beauty over at coco + kelley some months ago, it's been an object of my desire. and i still can't get over how pretty it is. love the big rock and tiny band.

let's all ooh and aah together now. sigh.

the uniform project.

brilliant and adorable.

easy monday.

wish i could lounge around in this all day long. i'd keep the wristlet on all day, too. because it's that pretty.

old-fashioned soda bar.


i really, REALLY love this soda bar idea of jordan ferney's.

normally, such variety would be out of my little okie hands, but thanks to my favorite make-out-of-town-guests-go-there place, pops, this idea is completely possible.

love this. (you will too.)

brooke reynold's 'collections of nothing.'

brooke reynolds of inchmark is showing off her beautiful collections this week at black*eiffel. check it out. i promise you'll be nothing short of amazed and every bit inspired.

sartorialist.

certainly a sartorialist gem.

i can't even determine where the perfection ends and where it begins.

creatures of comfort.

this shop should probably seriously consider sponsoring me. i promise i'd do you justice!

beautiful work by stephanie levy, who also writes a beautiful blog about her very enviable expat life in munich.

weheartit, we hate it.

i am not kidding: i will be so bitterly angry if we heart it finally bit it. i had so many lovely photos there. stupid, i know, not to back them up in another way.

thanks, we heart it, for stealing our dreams!

steven alan at gilt.

argh! i am cursing myself for spending too much at target yesterday. because...

gilt is offering up steven alan for some very nice prices today. what i'd do for that entire outfit on the left...

if you don't have a gilt account and would like one, here you go!

more claudie pierlot. (i'd trade friends and family for these boots.)

stripes.

remember how you looked this cool when you were 16? oh yeah, i don't either.

above and below, the shirt of my dreams that cannot be found. anywhere.



on the left, cute as a button with my dream hair. on the right, she kills me with her cuteness. exactly how a 15-year-old should look (not that i'd ever pass judgment).
