unruly things

when we go for walks, whether it be a weekend stroll through the woods or a weekday trip to the farmers market, most often I’m carrying Wolf in the Ergo or the Moby.  I’ve been on the hunt for a cute multi-purpose backpack for such outings to carry all his stuff as well as my things too.  one main goal is that it should have pockets and spots to stash things without having to dig, dig, dig.  here’s a few that I’m eyeing.

one: herschel standard  /  two: makr round backpack  /  three:  sanqvist stig  /  four: herschel sydney  /  five: kelty daypack  /  six: bag ‘n’ noun napsack  /  seven: seil marschall mini canoe  /  eight:  herschel post  /  nine: kelty cycle hiker /  ten: goertzen summit pack

{psst!!  there’s a little sneak peek of the new look for UT above with a custom watercolor tag painted by Lauren of Spencer Studio.  dlb is furiously working on coding the look for the new site.  stay tuned!}

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.

a few months back, Jamie & Michelle decided to throw a contest on 100 Layer Cake – just because they wanted to photograph a wedding.  now their contest, originally titled Rad + In Love, has turned into a true photo duo.  their site just went live today and I was speechless browsing through the photos.  so nostalgic and so well done.  those gals sure have an eye.  I especially love the black and white photos.

sigh, this makes me want to get married all over again just so I can hire these gals.  maybe I just need an excuse to throw a party!

in my cabin induced utopia a few weeks ago, I came across this magical place called Urnatur tucked in the Holaved forests in eastern Sweden.  it’s an outdoors lovers fantasy.  Urnatur, which basically translates to ‘essence of nature’, is a swedish forest getaway where visitors can stay in hand-crafted cabins or treehouses and spend time reconnecting with nature.  take classes on foraging, timbering or the basics of using a fire and knife.  kick back in the wood-fired sauna or the outside wooden bathtub and gaze up at the stars.  kerosene lamps guide you to your log cabin after dinner and fires are lit in you cabin for warmth and atmosphere.  talk about dreamy!

more photos here.  and their equally as magical blog, here.

funny story.  when I was pregnant, I couldn’t stand sweet potatoes.  one funny smelling potato and I was done with them.  now it seems I can’t get enough.  they are always on my grocery list and I usually have a stock pile of them waiting to be cooked.  so when I saw Hannah’s recipe for sweet potato biscuits, I knew exactly what I’d be making this weekend!!  and caramelized shallot and sage butter?  holy yum.  maybe I’ll serve a little morel mushroom gravy on the side.

psst… my favorite classic biscuit recipe!

such an easy summer collection from Built by Wendy.

just in time for February {and Valentine’s Day} we’ve decided to drop the price of our gold amethyst slice necklaces.  I don’t think this will be a style that we will offer in the future, so get ‘em while you can!  I also added a few more pyrite necklaces as well.

we’ve got plans and ideas for the future development of Mossière and I hope to share that soon.

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
