unruly things

I love the new Spring collection from Phillip Lim. the colors are fabulous. bright pops of yellow, neutral khaki, and off-white are paired with dark chocolate brown and cherry red. I’ve said it many times before, and I’ll say it once again, I’m a sucker for yellow goodness.

lately I’ve been spending a lot of my free time browsing the vintage clothing section on etsy. there are some truly amazing things out there. today I came across Ramona Vintage. I am in love with that plaid wool coat and adorable scalloped trim dress. there are lots more cute things in their shop, here.

I’ve really had my eyes on some light weight scarves. I think that they are the perfect transitional item from winter into spring, where the days are warm and the nights are cool. and since I seem to have a lot of solids in my wardrobe, I think I’d opt for a printed scarf for a little boost. I like these.

I love breakfast. if I could, I would eat breakfast for every meal. I really want to make these poppy seed pancakes. they look so delicious.

I love the things over at Baileys. the colors are mostly white, ivory, latte, and tan, almost like irish cream. I love white decor; it looks clean, inviting, and bright. and I especially love it paired with light shades of brown. perfect for a beach house setting.
now… to find that perfect beach house…

anywhere but behind the computer. I’m tired. I’m busy. and I just want to take a nap.
even if I were laying my head down on a table while drinking chilled orange juice… as long as I were in the sun or away from work, I’d be happy.
be back tomorrow friends.

it is absolutely gorgeous outside today in Portland. the sun is warm and the air is cool. I even had a smoothie today I was feeling so warm!

I’m ready for spring.

I like these pieces from the spring collection by Mayle. the Mexican funeral theme that surrounds the spring collection was inspired by a Manet exhibit at the Moma. I think it’s so cool to think of all the things that inspire fashion today. from simply color swatches to clouds and weather, to famous paintings and entire city scapes, fashion is always growing. and I love that.
