unruly things

classic lines, neutral colors, flirty details… as usual, A.P.C. does it so so right.

spring isn’t even here yet but I’m finding myself wondering, is it too early to dream about summer?  these two outfits fit in my ideal summer wardrobe seamlessly.

dlb and I watched a fascinating video about all the organisms you could find in one cubic foot of soil or sea.  can you guess?

I’m really feeling the sexy menswear vibe I’m getting from various Spring collections.

a little quote I said about what I’ll be buying this spring is on page 74 of the March issue of Lucky Magazine!  I couldn’t be more thrilled.  one of the things I’m going to be adding to my wardrobe is a plethora of skinny belts.  I love the idea of layering them and wearing more than one at a time to cinch oversized menswear blouses, add an extra punch of color to my dresses or to wear with cropped chinos.

so, I thought I’d do a little round-up of belts that I’ve been eying so you can get excited about them too.

from right to left:  green crotalus belt, red leather skinny belt, black double vision belt, silver printed belt, black skinny pyramid-studded belt, golden rod leather woven belt, true navy suede skinny belt, black leather woven belt, gold slim square-buckle belt.

I can’t believe:
it’s 57 degrees outside and the sun is shining in Portland.  yes, I know, seriously!

I’m currently dreaming about:
aurora borealis and chimney smoke.
pretty chocolate cakes on top of pretty hand-carved pedestals.
the amazing skyler cabinet.

I’m wondering:
if anyone else is as LOST as me?  I mean, what’s up with the Lennon look-alike?

I’m so thrilled that:
there’s been quite a few new readers to this little space lately.  welcome and thank you!

have a wonderful weekend my friends.  stay warm.  I hear it’s going to be a white weekend for most of you.  xo

I’ve got serious love for this long strap bag from Tannis Hegan.

Monique Keegan is my interior stylist idol.  her knack for collections and interesting industrial oddities makes me swoon.

I posted photos her Summer Haven getway on mossière a little while ago, but today I came across more photos from the shoot by James Merrell.  total house envy.

some beautiful inspiration I’ve posted recently on my photo blog, mossière.

when Roberta posted about the new collection from Wren, I too fell in love with those adorable espadrilles!  Joanna found out they are from MYMU.  just look at those patterns… swoon.
