unruly things

diamond-headed snakes hold a sparkling Indian diamond in their mouths?  oh my word.

beautiful collection photos from Samma F/W 11.

starting today, I’m running a series of guest posts at Pendleton’s The Portland Collection blog!  each week, I’ll feature a new item from the Fall ’11 collection with an imaginary outfit to get you inspired.

hop on over to see today’s outfit, starring The Harding Cardigan.

wishing you:
the happiest of happy weekends.

I’m SO glad it’s finally the weekend!  it was a long week.  dlb and I are doing a little celebrating in honor of his birthday that involves coffee stout, carrot cake and lots of relaxation.  what about you, do you have anything fun planned?

see ya next week!

I love this calendar by Portland artist Brooke Weeber.  I’m always hanging a calendar in my kitchen since I seem to spend a lot of time in there.  this one would be perfect!!  aren’t her illustrations wonderful?  you can see more in her shop Little Canoe and on her website.

I can’t stop thinking about these glittery socks from the No. 6 lookbook.  how perfect are they for the holidays or just some general glam?  I did some digging and found these pretty ones from Comme des Garcons and Maria La Rosa but they come with a spendy price tag for poly or rayon blend socks.  anyone seen any cute metallic socks out there?

I love this terrarium illustration by Lucy Engelman.  is there any terrarium I don’t like?

such a beautiful scarf from pretty penny.
