pretty, don't you think?

gap.

i'll probably need to make that vest mine this weekend.

back at the ranch.

suuuurely if you were to spend $2000 for a pair of gold cowboy boots, you could ask them to hold the silver tips, right?

if you're ever in santa fe, stop by this store. i promise good things.

karen walker and derek lam.

finally got to catch up on some fashion week looks tonight. now if only i had the gams for lam. (the bit more wearable walker is here).

prismera design.

really loving these new hair accessories by laura su. i'd be afraid they'd get lost in my light hair though. maybe it is time to go darker?

boden.

boden sometimes comes kind of close to mommy-wear territory but, sometimes, like in these times, they're really on. i'd love to fill my closet with a few of their sweaters and jackets.

mean greens?

today i painted my fingernails emerald. and then i came across that marchesa gown and planned an imaginary wedding (those would be bridesmaid dresses, natch). which of course got me thinking about that vera wang ring (which would be one bad-ass engagement ring, don't you think?).

edited to add: holy wow. this was an embarrassingly rambling post. goodnight.

hello, wednesday.

so i can't resist putting orange and blue together. so what?

everything. about. it.

shamelessly and immediately blogswiped from design is mine. how could i not?

sara, copenhagen street style.

i need these shoes. wait, her whole look. you too?

dawn sharp.

goodbye, summer.

...even if it is an astounding 90 degrees out today.

hope everyone's having a nice holiday. we're taking a pug day trip for sodas and muddy lake stomping.

toms.

remember when i said i'd never in my life wear toms? because they're ugly? and i don't even care that they 'do good'?

well, today, i eat my words.

THANKS, TOM.

it's that time again.

what time? cheap glasses time!

i'm growing tired of my current pair (and am also growing tired of the "aw your glasses match" comment i get constantly when i am with joe. for the record, they are not at all alike).

this time, though... i'm torn between these pairs. i think it might really be the birmingham for my fun pair and the jennifer for my "serious" pair.

what are your thoughts? has anyone followed my cheap glasses recommendation? if you haven't already, here's my early notes on the good sights* for cheap prescriptions.

birmingham | (i apologize because i saved this photo and now i can't find the link on the site) | jane | roxanne | jennifer

*this was by accident but i'm leaving it because it was fitting. get it? SIGHTS. like eyes. and glasses. time for bed.

secret squirrel clothing.

wow, right?

yarn over movement.

wouldn't mind snatching up a couple of these for fall. speaking of, what's going on with this 90 degree weather again?

thread social.

hello, sequins. we should become reacquainted this holiday.

good monday morning!

i shot this photo last month in brussels and, since then, i've really developed a girl crush on blondie there. she has my dream hair and she just oozes cool. so i thought i'd take a stab at recreating her look. based on her back side.

gargyle.

dear gargyle:

if we could arrange for these (or, at very least, the shoes. holy shit! those shoes!) to be shipped my way, i'd be ever so grateful.

thanks,
greedy girl

marc by marc jacobs.

maybe i am getting ahead of myself, but i would really, really like this for winter.

luella love.

i know it's blazing outside, but i had to share this dress. because it's perfection?

j.crew.

i kind of love everything they have to offer right now.

let's discuss.

who knows more about this?

because i love it.

kate miss.

forget anthropologie or kate spade. you need to sign up for kate miss's e-mails.

not only is she the creator of these super sought-after (super sought-after) necklaces, girlfriend's got a good eye for the visuals, too.

i opened up my e-mail to this gem no fewer than four seconds ago and had to share.

if only we could get her to do a paper catalog.

keep being awesome, kate.

gap.

has anyone tried the "new" gap denim?

here are the details on the new fits. my interest is certainly piqued, so i'm looking forward to checking it out.

(the pink cords don't really fit the denim but i really need those, so there they are.)

anna bond.

how CUTE.

p.s. posting's been sparse, i know. i am in this insane mood to organize my life (corny but so true) and i just can't stop. i expect to get worn out sooner than later.

toywatch.

i haven't been a watch person for a while but these toywatches caught my eye recently. the blue especially.

what kind of watch do you wear? i have a handful of beloved watches from over the years but i'm too lazy to get new batteries for them.

back to school.

ryan boudinot. pietari posti.

i've been bad about posting, so i thought i'd feed you a little pretty to get you by.

via grain edit. (would love to get my hands on one of these.)

ed note: i feel awful for completely screwing up and not crediting the proper person. i am not sure what ryan boudinot does, but i am sure he is equally talented. to recap: amazing illustration by pietari posti. thanks to may for (knowingly or unknowingly, i am not sure) bringing this to my attention.
