unruly things

Penfield has built a reputation for making high quality down-filled jackets, fleece and outerwear. I love these pieces for her and these two for him.

yesterday afternoon I watched the Rachel Comey Fall ’12 RTW runway show streaming live on their website.  the webcam quality wasn’t the greatest so I was left a little underwhelmed at the end.  I was happy to see that photos from the show were posted on Style.com today, however, I’m still a little on the fence.  Rachel Comey is one of my favorite designers and I happily own many of her pieces.  I had a hard time finding something that really resonated with me from this collection.  I wasn’t feeling all the black and this comes from a gal who has a closet full of black clothes!  the collection felt a little more like a holiday collection with the leather, metallic and lace, rather than the usual rustic, warm collections usually associated with fall.  I do really love the blue / brown plaid dress in the middle and the dress to the right.  I can’t wait to see the rest of the silhouette.

such an easy summer collection from Built by Wendy.

today I embark upon a new adventure: my thirties.  so far, so good.  here’s a little birthday dreamlist.  I’m off to eat cake and celebrate with my two favorite guys.  happy weekend, friends!

one: silk boyfriend shirt / two: philly boots / three: black tartan polish / four: black diamond ring / five: staub cocotte / six: score & solder terrarium / seven: bodhi desk

{most of these I’ve pinned over the past few months.  follow me here if you’d like}

loving these looks and fresh springy colors from Confezioni Crosby.  the perfect dose of sunshine on a dreary January day.

to further fuel my cabin obsession {and yours, too, apparently} I put together inspiration for a romantic forest getaway for Jen of Honey & Kennedy blog, including staring at the stars and whiskey by the fire.  go look!

4. a watch
5. skinny black pants

we’re heading off to Florida next week where the temps are in the mid to upper 70s during the day and dip down to the low 60s at night.  I’d happily pack these pieces from the Steven Alan resort collection in my suitcase.
