kate towers.

go ask alice.

bread + butter giveaway winner.

congratulations, blair! i'll be in touch to get your details.

thank you to everyone who played along. the prints came saturday, and they're even more likable in person!

habitat shoes ... 20 percent off.

you know you want them...

through sunday, get 20 percent off new shoes and boots at habitat with code newfall20.

let me know if you end up getting anything! sadly, there will be no shoes for me this time.

discreet charm.

what is with me lately and the jewelry?

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.

via all the mountains again.

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.

via all the mountains.

oak nyc.

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?

lauren merkin at gilt.


kind of hating on myself for not holding out for lauren merkin when i snatched up a new watch (for really cheap though!) yesterday from gilt.

and, last time (this week) i'll solicit you to sign up, but here you go.

digby and iona.


kind of an awesome ring, isn't it?

p.s. my link list on the right has gotten a little messed up. so bear with me while i fix it. HA. BEAR with me.

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!

deena & ozzy wedge | jeffrey campbell wedge | fletcher by lyell silk dress | kimchi blue linen dress

bread + butter. plus, a giveaway.

couldn't resist this. and i plan to frame it exactly the same way.

p.s. i just noticed i have more than a thousand readers, and i just about teared up. so, let's celebrate! leave a comment with your e-mail address, and one of you will also get a print. i'll choose next friday at 5 p.m. cst.

post-consumption anxiety print by bread + butter.

gilt.

nixon watches are on sale on gilt today... i'm torn between wooden and orange.

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.

untamed menagerie.

oddly spectacular spooktacular?

ha sorry i couldn't resist.

sophie theallet.

pretty, don't you think?

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.

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?).

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?

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.
