halfway home

wearing ASOS dress, Sigerson Morrison flats, vintage cardigan, thrifted necklace

Halfway through the week. Only two more days until I can mope around and sleep late like God intended. Yes, he did intend that for me. It's all part of His master plan.

Oh, and I just realized that an unfortunate side effect of my growing preference for t-shirts over tank tops is a burgeoning farmer's tan on the back of my neck. Sexy.

Also, special thanks to Janetteria for this spiffy new award. I want to pass it on to the following style fairies:

The Haute-Shopper

Rhapsody in Boots

Vintage Lollipops

Now, off to bed with me.

I made a couple of discoveries today. First, that illustrator Cedric Rivrain's drawings of models in some of the season's most recognizable designs are nothing short of jaw-dropping perfection.

Second, that Nicholas Kirkwood is the pimp-daddy zen master of shoes. See below.





ps
OMFG. I just saw a goddamn commercial for Scientology of all godawful things. I certainly hope the economy doesn't have people that cowed...

wearing AA tee, Old Navy jeans, vintage belt, H&M sweater, thrifted bag, vintage belt, thrifted necklace, Candies shoes (I know, I know. But I have an excuse! I got a pedicure and they were the only open-toed shoes I had at my parents' house!)

Meet my dear friend Kelli's daughter, Isabella. She may only be 3 months old, but as you can see, she already has bitchin' taste in sunglasses. How amazing does she look in the picture above with my boyfriend?

This weekend I:
- Indulged in some long-overdue baby time (god, how they grow)
- Played shuffle board (and sucked at it)
- Attempted to do some bank account damage at my favorite vintage/consignment store near my parents' house, but it was closed :(
- Fed Frankie Nutter Butters and gave him a bath
- Ate some Italian cheese that smelled like dead people's feet
- Finally got a manicure and a pedicure (after these pictures were taken, BTdubs)
- Worked, worked, worked


And now I get to go to bed. I'm starting to see a pattern in my life...it's all the same! Welcome to the next 40 years.

After spending the evening combing through the resort collections on Style.com, I came away with these favorites. Is it just me or is resort one of the most exciting collections? I used to think it was just a jerk-off way to get people to spend money during the long stretch between the Spring and Fall seasons, but now I realize it's also a great resource for styling ideas because the clothes are sort of simpler and more wearable. Of course, it's also a jerk-off way to get people to spend money, but what isn't?

This weekend I'm hoping to get in some quality horsey-time and maybe get dressed once. I'm keeping expectations low.

feelin' it

picture sources: probably all Tatielle.tumblr or Lolitas.se. If I'm wrong and you're offended, please feel free to contact me and air your grievances.

Just a little bit of Awesome to get me through a midweek slump. Remember kids, don't do drugs! (unless you're using them to spell your name in which case...carry on).

Also, I strongly encourage someone with blond hair to try day-glow yellow eye shadow. It's weirdly flattering.

And last, a time-lapsed video of a peony opening. I want a dress that somehow captures the buoyancy and delicacy of this flower. Any budding designers out there want to give it a try? And send it to me? My measurements are available upon request...
