art affect.

this is one of those shops that i'm constantly checking in on and starting blog posts about, but never quite commit to them because i'm greedy and don't want to share my good finds sometimes. i've been obsessed with these 'everyday' pencil skirts for a while now and would love to stock up with one in every color (and about six in black). and maybe a couple of those 'chic' dresses, too, in black. so pretty.

thanks to liz durham and pennyweight, i'm obsessed with this shop.

and everything (as far as i can tell) is under $110? amazing. now, the hard part is deciding what to get first. i'm thinking the cape is a must. but in what color? the blue is pretty, but i'm not sure you can go wrong with red. i'd love to see them offer a mustard option, too. decisions, decisions.

this parka-esque cape/coat is also pretty great. i need that one, too.


in the mood for... cat-eye glasses.

i've been set on a pair of cat-eyes since seeing 'how to marry a millionaire' a couple months back and crushing all over four-eyed marilyn monroe. now that it's time for my annual eye exam and i'll no doubt be needing some ultra-improved lenses (i feel like i go blinder by the day), i think it's time to give this style a try. here are a few pairs at the top of my ebay watch list: in olive, clear-ish gray and tortoise shell.

which pair do you like? and do you know of any other great cat-eye shop resources? so far, i've only had luck with ebay.

i spy for my little fingers...

i need nice things.

i would love to have those quote marks framed and flanking a selection of other prints on the wall.

in the mood for... fall.

i keep trying to remind myself that fall is just around the corner. right around this triple-digit-hot, muggy corner called august.

what's on your wish list for fall? here's a look at some of what i've got my eye on. first and foremost, i need those shoes to live in.
