even steven.

against my better judgment (STRICTLY financially speaking) i went to the steven alan sample sale tonight and by some minor miracle managed to escape with just one item: the most perfect, softest, coziest flannel ever made (see above). serrrrussly, guys, i'm wearing it as i type and i am so distracted by its comfort i can barely make complete sentences (or be bothered to spell correctly!). in fact, i'll probably be wearing this button-down just about every day till, oh, i don't know, may. i also had my eye on this coat:and this shirt:

but i really think i made the right decision, for me and my credit line. unless of course, i swing back by on sunday and they both happen to still be there. cause then it was totally meant to BE, right?!? riiiight.

foxy.

i have yet to see fantastic mr. fox (i know, i KNOW! it's at the TOP of my to-do list. have you guys seen it? is it amazing??) but that doesn't stop me from wanting this faux foxtail tie from opening ceremony. of course, that might have more to do with the j.schwartz factor, cause really, where the hell would i wear a faux foxtail tie??

head case.

i'm not typically a headpiece kinda gal, but this lil' fascinator from lara vincent has me convinced that i could be. also...i need a crown? and maybe that sweet little flower chain, too. in which case, i must totally be a headpiece kinda gal. not gonna fight it!

we have a weiner!

i have a serious weakness for erica weiner's jewelry. it's so simple and cool and affordable and vintage-y. if you live in nyc, you've probably seen it, or maybe you've just gotten a glimpse of it through the mass of people that swarm her table every time she sets up at the flea or the craftacular? well, it's worth taking a few elbows to try and nab a piece or ten, trust. she's got a new website a brewin' and if these peeks are any indication, it's gonna rule. i always forget to wear earrings but if i had these studs below, i'm pretty sure that wouldn't be a problem. hearts.

twisted sister.

WHO is this girl, WHY is she wearing a braid around her neck, and WHERE can i get one?!?!

also, how cute is madmanila? she read my post about the bun to end all buns and whipped one up herself. luff.

buns of steal.

as in, i'm totally stealing this 'do. how-to over here.

snow day.

a few months ago i had the pleasure of meeting jackie bos at a certain shiny squirrel's birthday shindig and when i scoped her work afterward i was so stoked to find out that her illustrations are as lovely as she is. so of course i dig her new book, i heart the arctic. take a little peek, it's adorbz!
