it’s pretty gloomy in Portland today. this bright and cheerful collection from Suno is so great, isn’t it? I almost forgot that it’s raining outside!
thanks for the introduction Erica!

love these looks from Secret Squirrel. even though it’s labeled Summer, it seems like a perfectly transitional fall collection if you ask me. at least it’s what I feel like wearing right now.

orange really isn’t my color, but I love the texture and details of this Rachel Comey dress. looks like it comes in black too.

yahoo!! enjoy 20% off at dace with coupon code UNRULY20 – good through September 3. I think I might just purchase this dress!
thanks Adele!!

thanks to Roberta, I quickly clicked over to Zara this morning to check out the new looks. while I love the casual layering pieces she posted about, I’m really drawn to these classy “wear-to-work” looks from Zara Woman. I just purchased a champagne colored coat that I’m super excited to pair with black when the temps drop.

I love these lookbook photos from No. 6 fall 2010 apparel collection. I love that most of the lookbook are high contrast black and white photos. guess you don’t always need color to fall in love!

while Summer from Design is Mine was vacationing in Hawaii, I created a guest post inspired by hot summer day river getaways. check out my “day at the river” outfit right here!

I keep attempting to add more tees to my wardrobe. while the regular old crew neck or v-neck can be perfect just about any day, I’m looking for something a bit more interesting or with more form that I can disguise at my anti-tshirt wearing day job. I like these two tees from Alternative Apparel a lot.
I recently bought this shirt in black, which I adore, and today I’m wearing it tucked in to a pair of thrifted black high-waisted silk shorts. I love the look and it’s perfect for work AND bike riding! dlb snapped this picture of me. hi!


I’m thinking about snatching up this vintage knapsack from Every Eskimo. love that army green color and those worn leather straps.
