So last year: what I wore May 27, 2008

  • Thrifted burgundy suede blazer
  • Marks & Spencer super soft peach jersey elbow length sleeved shirt
  • Hayden Harnett Havana Hobo in saddle
  • Thrifted suede western belt, also burgundy, from the same day as the blazer if you can believe it
  • Handmade pleated denim pants (by me)
  • Fluevog "free amina" shoes
  • Casio watch, my dad despises this for some reason:

Etsy superstar: Jewelry by Anne Arden McDonald

Apple seeds cast in gold or silver look like stubby teeth, making botanists everywhere look a little more bad ass:

Willow branches:
I think Anne Arden's work is exceptional - I've never seen anything like it. She takes so many of my favorite things and makes them seem expensive and witchy - amazing.

Love the vivid colours at Whitney Smith pottery:
And the practical vintage styling combined with modern culinary silliness, like this covered individual cupcake holder:

Scientifically Proven Cold Cream

Our models are so dirty...

Carrie White


Seeing Carrie again I was completely blown away by the 70s hair and makeup. Completely smitten.
It is no secret that I bear a deep and true love of the high school movie genre.

I am so looking forward to finally finishing this degree and working my way through the movies I haven't seen on this list of the Best High School Movies!

I broke another camera

2 in 8 months.
I'll be keeping an eye out at thrift stores for an old digi camera - it might be 1 ft x 1 ft square, but it'll also be (hopefully) less than $20.

And with my track record, I obviously shouldn't be spending more than that.

In the meantime, I've been contemplating dragging my film SLR out of it's hibernatory state for especially good outfits. Otherwise, I've just got the web camera attached to this computer, which is not really useful for any real purpose.


See what I mean?

Carrie Bradshaw

Old news, but I love this Sex and the City Movie Vogue Editorial







It is everything I had hoped the movie about my favorite guilty pleasure television show would be.
