bread + butter giveaway winner.
habitat shoes ... 20 percent off.
jak & jil.


there is so much i had in my head to post. but i copped out. so, instead, i will offer you these awe-inspiring shots from jak & jil.
i hope you have a beautiful first weekend of fall. i have very few plans and can't wait. maybe a couple beers, a glass of wine, a lot of cuddling, a little shopping.
oh, and don't forget to enter the giveaway for the post-consumption anxiety print. i'll be choosing a lucky winner later in the afternoon. (and, for an extra entry, you can retweet this.) bonne chance!
victoria mason.
sharp, don't you think?
and, it reminds me of this wonderful 'you've got mail' quote i found over at her name was lola:
don't you love new york in the fall? it makes me want to buy school supplies. i would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if i knew your name and address.
i'd send all of you such bouquets if i could. and, on a sad note, i've never been to new york in the fall. every other season. but not fall. autumn in new york... some day. for now, i'll keep watching kathleen kelly and joe fox. f - o - x. that movie, i won't lie, is in my top six. i can't help it.

to sir with love.

wouldn't life be just a little bit nicer with just a little more cashmere? case in point, to sir with love. lots of love.

things i wish i could pull off... no, forget that. i could pull those boots off. i could OWN those boots. what? you're tired of hearing about them?
ideeen top | cheap monday cords | acne boots
today i like...
i don't actually need to go into how right these are, right?
christopher kane dress (nice, right?) | marc jacobs boots | erica weiner hummingbird skull necklace (blogged this before. still in love. halloween gift to self?)
apparently the shoes didn't go over so well in the blogging community, however. descriptions included elf dominatrix shoes; U G L Y, U G L Y, U G L Y; absolutely weird and hideous; and so on.
but i kind of love them. maybe because they remind me slightly of the acnes that never were.
erica weiner.
so of course erica weiner has some amazing things in her jewelry line. but shoe clips? think of the possibilities. i remember my mom buying these for me when i was little, but i can't believe i had forgotten about them. especially now, when i need them the most and 90 percent of my shoe closet goes unworn.
goose grease.


i know i am late to the game on these, but COME ON. these custom wedding toppers are actually the most adorable thing ever invented. adorbs, as they say.
and, the goodness doesn't stop there:
um, awesome?

urban outfitters.
i've spied more than a few things i wouldn't mind having this fall. maybe a dallas shopping trip is in order?
i hope everyone had a nice weekend. mine was filled with oklahoma state fair (yes, it's exactly like you would imagine) fun and cuddle time. oh, and really gross allergic reactions to farm animals. thanks, fair!

if you haven't signed up, here's a link. it's worth it sometimes!
happy weekend to y'all.
do you see those boots? they're mine now, thanks to my sweet joe who surprised me with them (wrapped!) earlier this week. except for some reason, my normally-size-7 feet did not come close to fitting, and they had to go back. hopefully their replacements come soon and an 8 does the trick. thank you, joe! you are good to me. i blogged about them way back when and was really excited to see them in black now (there is gray wool in the back and on the top, which i particularly love). hurry up, boots!
now, more about the above outfit:
for me, for you necklace (i won't get into how much i love it. thanks, kate!) | american eagle cord skirt | uniqlo cardigan | vpl vent tank | gap bag | simple boots uniqlo raspberry beret (added for comic effect)
lastly, do you shop uniqlo? tell me about the quality. i'd love to fill my closet with everything they have.
bing bang jewelry by anna sheffield.

1. that necklace is amazing.
2. i really need those earrings. really need them.
3. how pretty and simple is that bangle?
to summarize, i really like the work of amanda sheffield.
gap.


i'll probably need to make that vest mine this weekend.
heathered puffer | wool duffel (via camp comfort) | tweed military jacket
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.
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?
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?).
vintage givenchy dress | notte by marchesa dress | thakoon silk cardigan | swarovski nirvana ring (previously posted about here) | vera wang tourmaline ring (also previously posted about)
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?
malene birger top | lela rose skirt | ae tights | see by chloe clutch | marc by marc jacobs oxfords
built by wendy.
everything. about. it.
shamelessly and immediately blogswiped from design is mine. how could i not?
dawn sharp.
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.
