This is perfect for a lazy Sunday. I love the idea of a sweet bustier bra-type thing playfully peeking out from under a loose tee. The huge rings make me happy, haven't left the house without a ring covering at least half of one of my freakishly small fingers. And those wedges look incredibly comfy.

This is a digital reminder to myself to load pictures of my new H&M boots.

I had a very lovely, quite successful shopping trip with the mother and sister. We started at Urban Outfitters, but didn't really find much. I tried on a few pairs of high-waisted flowy shorts but none of the patterns or colors were really keeping my interest so we moved on to the H&M practically next-door... Powell Street shopping has its advantages. There were lots of gorgeous party dresses and I nearly got a pair of (likely fake) leather shorts, but went for the cut-out belt and braided headband instead.

May I just say that A Fine Frenzy is amazing and ex-roommates are crazy?

Her music is making me feel better, so if you haven't yet checked out her new CD, Bomb In a Birdcage, I would. Also, searching A Fine Frenzy or Alison Sudol (her real name) would yield many inspiring pictures.

oh, marc(s)

Marc Johns, an amazing artist with doodles as great as his imagination.

And Mr. Marc Jacobs. There's something about the way this collection is put together that makes me want to dress solely in utilitarian clothes, with lots of outerwear and hats and gorgeous boots.

I found these great pair of Doc Martens listed for $25 at the local swap meet. I talked the guy down to 18 smackaroos and I now am in possession of a delightful new pair of boots for the fall. Can't wait to style them.

a gem among jewels

I love this collection. There's something about it that's so young and vibrant but at the same time put-together and sophisticated. The mixture of patterns and proportions are way cool in a generation of not-so-cool casual styling. I also really love the bright bags; they're such a change from my normally dark bags.

left my heart in

I made these sort of garlic- and Parmesan-cheese-covered rolls, but the rolling part didn't happen, and they ended up flat. But they still tasted amazing.
