Love

A picture of Pictures, but I could not resist posting this 

cousinly love!

Happy weekend!

wow

How amazing is this artwork by Sanna Annukka?

Many prints are available to buy in her new online shop..

And, just when I am thinking how cool it would be to make 

an all over print and wear it, she apparently just finished two

fabric collaborations with Medicom(middle) and Marimekko(bottom)

Click on the Marimekko link to see the rest of the print

colorways.Excitement!

Kicking it up

My dearest Sagey sent me some yummy

photos from the Christopher Kane Spr/Summer 09

Show. Funny, when I first tagged this show for 

a runway presentation I put together last year, of course the 

scallops and amazing armor-like details were 

noteworthy, but I was obsessed with the 

fact that the collection was based around the movie

Planet of the Apes.  Giant ape faces

on tops followed by beautiful dresses, 

delicately scalloped like paper. Amazing

And though I am doing a disservice to the totally

killer elements of the collection, 

I can't help but focus on the Awesome true

orange color throughout the collection. 

Insert here - amazing collection of orange

baubles and photos found on flickr and 

other amazing design forward websites. 

I was just less impressed with images I found

of orange than the incredible  snippits

found in my own life. So, let's get out of this haze

induced by sleep deprivation and enjoy the color 

orange for the day. This is how I am seeing it..

xo sager!

Just in time!

I am thoroughly hurting from a night of no sleep/cowering under

the covers due to this super scary lightning storm. I'm a baby, I know. 

Look at the pictures! Scary stuff. 

Anyway, just as all hope for the day amounting to anything was 

nearly lost, these totally tacky and amazing lights arrived in the 

mail. Reminiscent of a dirty capital I-talian restaurant, 

these guys are going on our sassy new porch, amidst our new

and very abundant grape vines. cough. Contain your jealousy..

you can have them too. From Victorian Trading Company.

I am still loving men's shirts as themselves.

i loved mixing knits and mens shirts to make dresses 

back in the day.. and now?

I love making skirts out of them! What easy goodness?

Pairing two shirts together is doubl-y sexy.

(i am a big fan of this. i think i will use it.)

sweaters

Are for everyone!

As incredibly hot as this apple jacket is 

[as seen at the curiosity shoppe]

it cannot beat the original.. the scalloped wine cozy. 

those colors!

This post was more relevant this morning, when it

was looking to be a crappy day. 

delightful!

For the second month in a row, the Anthropologie catalogue

has been such a delightful surprise! The photography, location, 

styling.. everything was so amazing this time around. 

These are two of my favorite shots.. love the vintage clutter and 

the terrariums I have had a thing for 

for a while now. 

A quick etsy terrarium search led me to many quirky and

one cute Oregon based miniature moss lover... wee green spot. 

I am completely in love with these tiny wool felted sheep?

Miniature and made to order. The cutest things. 

But, let's not forget about our terrarium dreams 

and ambitions that mostly include propagating

this miniature mushroom forest.  

Beating a dead horse, I know. 

*note: i updated this post to include the terrarium

link so that it is easily accessible for purchase. wink.
