A day with Summer

Yesterday I mentioned I was heading to the park to watch 500 Days of Summer projected on a big screen. If I could imagine walking around some vintage shops with Summer I think this is what she'd be wearing. She's very classy and feminine and her dress is a bit romantic too. She might have a hairband in her hair, rosy cheeks, and dark mascara-nothing else. What a fun day we'd have together giggling and eating crepes!

Ruche Spring/Summer '11

Absolutely loving some of Ruche's summery things right now. The maxi dress never goes out of style with it's long flowiness that complements just about anyone. The hint of vintage in the la vie en rose bracelet is feminine and dainty. There are also tons of cute purses to choose from and I think I just need that beaumont meadows crossbody bag!! I love the mauve flowers! I could shop for hours and hours until my poor little fingers drop. Do you shop at Ruche often? While you're there be sure to take a peek through their lookbooks. They're always so romantic and lovely :)

Note! the purse I featured has sold out :( however the cousin to it looks like a marvelous alternative!

Erica Weiner: Happy Birthday to me!

Lovely jewelry from Erica Weiner is on my birthday list. Insects, monsters, hand cuffs, vertebrae, oysters, porcupine quills, saws and leaves are just some of the unusual objects she has created to adorn your ears and neck. The Ginkgo necklaces are my favorite!!

holy scarf

Ok, so I realize I spend much more time devoted to hand knit creations and I promise I will branch out. Before I do however, I must share this ammaazzing scarf that is on my to-do list. 

Designed by Tanis Gray, it shows off a beautiful leaf and branch pattern and is featured on the cover of the Winter 08/09 VOGUE knitting magazine!

 

I love it and must make it. 

ban.do

Ok, I am not the typical headband girl, but these 'bands' from ban.do are enough to make me drool. Elegant, creative, and basically eye-candy on my head.
