perusing etsy

lately i've been filling free time with crocheting necklaces. so this morning as i was looking into the possibility of selling items on etsy, i came across these inspiring peices:

earrings from ShopClementinethis necklace from smoobage which has already been snatched up by a friend...a ring from artisanimpact.another necklace from madmadcrafter. i love the color of the glass and chain, not tooo girly just right...another necklace from piggy, because i LOVE SEWING and would wear this as any proud seamstress would..

Ebay Shopping

Found this cool ebay shop Thriftwares. I the photos they really show the clothes well. Gotta love ebay.

late bloomer

though it became available way back in early february, i just got smart to ms. subkoff's collaboration with bebe.

pictured here with chloe sevigny (both are wearing clothes from the line),
tara left her imitation of christ label back in 2007. hopefully more collaborations are on the way.
this red dress with little black hearts is my favorite...

Heiko Windisch

Love her work. Beautiful line drawings with a touch of CMYK. See more & buy.

H&M x Comme des Garcons

I am so excited! This is by far the best collab for me! Coming Nov 08.

Meet Kate

This is Kate, our guest blogger, who has yet to blog hint, hint! She has an awesome sense of style and an, I could only imagine, wardrobe. She came to visit us in SF (she moved back to NY a few months ago) and showed up in this bee-yoo-ta-full coat by Remy Hall. Check out all the detail. Damn you Kate! We miss u! Check out her blog too here.

Old becomes new again

I've been hangin' onto these 3 "jumpsuits" (ones a sweatshirt material, not shown) hoping that someday they will be back in style. I believe that they are coming back now but maybe not in the same way? Here's what I have been seeing lately...

Here's my stuff...

Vintage-y Levi's Jumsuit - I think I might wanna get it hemmed up but I love all the details

Corduroy Jumpsuit - Got this for like 10 bucks a while back. Its so comfy.

attention my male contemporaries

or females whose blessed feet exceed size 8 1/2...
i was recently out on a shoe hunt with my dad and brother, perusing the alameda gentleman's shoe stores. i came along stricly as a consultant, but discovered a pair of stacey adams steel gray madison boots for myself. unfortunately, they are men's size only and do not come in size 5 1/2..

the madison boot comes in the gray, brown and black (not pictures)
the madison shoes are also sharp...

pedestrian point 'n' shoot

if the weather permits, and i remember to pack my camera, i like to take photos of details and colors around the city that i may reference later. these were taken on my morning march to work...

dippity do

though it turned up at prada awhile ago, there seems to be a surfacing this spring of dip-dyed clothing and the like. It’s different from your 3rd grade tie-dyed shirt in that there is normally only one or two colors used, no rubber banding involved my friend. the effect is much more modern, imitating a rothko painting rather than a clown outfit.

the original...

rothko: the inspiration?other high end designers have taken note

there are affordable options as well:

the red and black dress is my faaaaav.

The Gift & the Curse of H&M

I went to H&M last weekend and, of course, I bought some stuff. I told myself that I wouldn't shop for awhile. Gotta save. But I justified my purchases as classic staples to my wardrobe that I would enjoy for a long time. Haha! I'm good at convincing other to buy things now I am doing it to myself. Here's what I scooped up...

Tunic $39

High Waisted flowy skirt $49

with pockets!

Hi waisted jeans with Braid detail $59 (a lot for H&M huh)
