geek love...

The web-designing geek in me NEEDS this shirt.
Although, in all honesty, I'd probably just end up sleeping in it.
Maybe a framed print of the phrase would be better?
I smell a project...

available for pre-order here.

monarchy...

Something about this dress reminds me of a monarch butterfly - maybe the colors combined with the movement? Anyways, it's beautiful. Love the black taffeta underneath :)

we dream...

We Dream in Color's gorgeous new collection is filled with pieces fit for a Roman Goddess.. I just wish I saw them earlier so that I could have planned a costume around them - although truthfully, I would totally rock these on a daily basis!


Nyah Earrings $34


Agnes Bracelet $43


Gilded Lace Necklace $34

frames...

I've been thinking of switching to some new frames and am wondering if I can pull these off...
thoughts?

eternal child a/w 09...

I'm once again digging the Istanbul-based line, Eternal Child. Their knit pieces seem to have just the right amount of a funky edge - not too over the top but also far from boring (if that makes sense? still need coffee...).

Available at Revolve Clothing

make my day...

I recently discovered Amy Soczka's blog, things that make my day, and became an instant fan. Her pillows are so cute that they have me itching to re-decorate simply so that I can work them into every room in my apartment (okay okay I only have 2 rooms but you catch my drift...).

check out her etsy shop too!

you can buy me...

So it's decided that whoever find me this poster/painting will win my heart forever...

One of my favorite songs from my favorite Beatles-era (sorry dad & brother, I know you guys are more of a yellow-submarine-period fans)... seriously though, this rocks my socks more than anything I've ever posted on this blog before.

that is all.

missed connection...

I'm so sad I missed out on this smokey quarts ring by CC Skye Jewelry on Gilt Fuse today! It actually kinda reminds me of the Marni ring I fell for a few months back (but way cheaper).

Oh well, I'm swinging by Forever 21 with Alyssa later... maybe they have a knock-off ;)

opposite day...

You know those days when you want nothing less than the complete opposite of what you have?
Today is one of those days...

What I would give to experience this look for a bit.

What I wouldn't give to pull off a dress like this! Now, I didn't get to actually see the Emmys but logged on to check out the pics and wow, did Blake Lively stand out. My god, this is simply gorgeous.

party petals...

OK I do realize this is my third post this weekend with a play on p's and includes purple... I don't know what's up but I'm running with it.



Anyways, this Party Petal Skirt by Anna Sui is simply gorgeous and I am therefor posting it as a means to tell the universe I like it and I appreciate it's beauty. In other words, I am being good and NOT BUYING IT.

That is all.

such a pretty pansy...

I just stumbled across Boston-based bag designer, Laura Collins on Supermarket. Her line is called Pansy Maiden (named after her grandmother) and so far, I'm completely obsessed with her where there are trees weekender bag! How great would it be for toting my laptop, sketchbook, planner AND dog food to the new studio (more on that news later)?



The biggest bonus - Laura uses all natural, ecologically dyed, machine washable fabrics for the exterior, lining, and interfacing of her bags! 100% vegan, 100% natural, 100% sustainable!

Love the hoodie-pockets too :)

they love you too...

Such a perfect way to sum up my morning ritual - couldn't have said it better myself...
Might need to get this print for the new studio :)

members only...

In my quest for the quintessential leather bomber this fall, I was so excited when I first saw an email for the Members Only sale on ideeli... but alas, I never realized how expensive these 80's favs were! The prices are still a little too high for what I want to spend (I'll wind up with faux leather for sure).

If you want an invite to ideeli, leave a comment and I'll add you!




these nylon jackets are super cute and at $56, way affordable, but totally sold out already :(
