Antiquing

September 21, 2010

My search for the perfect riding boots has inspired an invasion of all things vintage, antique and otherwise pre-owned. Vintage Brandy Glasses: $27 “Jen, you don’t even drink brandy.” …and? Vintage Brown Boots (Size 6.5): $55 I almost didn’t post these because I won’t be able to measure my foot (to see if they’ll fit) [...]

To Covet: Melissa Oxfords

September 16, 2010

I may or may not have purchased a pair of *cough*not sustainable*cough* oxfords already (they were a steal at Marshalls, and Nine West fits me like a glove, okay?) but I really don’t care.  Because Melissa has done it again, creating some seriously gorgeous shoes out of plastic. Yeah, plastic.  You heard. Alexandre Herchcovitch & [...]

I honestly can’t remember who found Black Market Baby first: me, who has had them on my Etsy favorites list since time immemorial, or Lindsay, who posted about them last month and has been following them by RSS.  (I never keep up with my RSS.  Does that make me a bad blogger?) Maybe it was [...]

I so rarely hear about failed pursuits of happiness. Birch Bark Necklace Cluster: $89 People who follow their bliss, who take chances, seem so much more content, less worried, than the rest of us. Blue Peony Dishtowels: $20 They don’t mind life’s setbacks, or worry when their bliss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.  [...]

To Covet: Squid Love

August 4, 2010

Any ladies or gents out there still searching for summer love?  Look no further.  I’ve found the best personals site on the web: Squid Bully Squid. Don’t let the name fool you.  These squids sound tough, but upon further research, it appears that they have a softer side…and I’m not just talking about their crocheted [...]

The Vials of Wrath by Creeley Hang it in your bathroom, above the cabinet containing your blood red lipstick and enviously green polish. Then grab your camera, put on a black pencil skirt, and go play spy games drink espresso and people watch for a while.

Love is such a fragile thing. Paper Garland of Hearts by bookity *made using recycled paper *packaged in recycled cardstock *inspiration from recycled words so you have something to say during those awkward silences *or give each heart away (there are eight) to all those boys and girls you have spring crushes on *keep one [...]

To Covet: Color

March 31, 2010

MATT & NAT Yacht Studded Bag

With the rainy season having begun in Seattle (and likely continuing on ’til June) I’ve begun to pull out of my monochrome phase.  While playing around online this week, my eye kept going to all things bright.  Give me color! MATT & NAT Yacht Studded Bag: $215 It may be prohibitively costly (for me, anyway) [...]

I’ve been hunting for a piece of “statement jewelry” for years. I finally found my match on my last birthday: it’s a gold and copper sandstone ring, which I nabbed for just a few dollars at  an out-of-the-way vintage shop. What you can’t see from the crappy photos – which my broken camera and I [...]

There are a few items that should be in every woman’s wardrobe: the classic v-neck, a cashmere sweater, a pair of perfectly-fitting jeans, a little black dress. On the flip side, there are trends: sequins, dolman sleeves, bell bottoms, fringe.  No matter how long they last or how often they come back into fashion, you can only wear [...]
