4th Amendment Wear.
4th Amendment Wear is a great project aimed at getting people to think a little more about their Constitutional rights. After the latest wave of TSA measures were put into place, Tim Geoghegan and Matthew Ryan began a silent protest of their own. They found metallic type that could, in theory, show up on TSA scanners that would display the 4th amendment, then inked t-shirts and underwear. A thought-provoking way to fuel the debate about safety vs. civil liberties. {via Josh Spear}

Species by the Thousands.
Lately I’m really into necklaces. A major case of necklace lust, if you will. I’m also really into organic feeling, vintage, reclaimed pieces. And Species by the Thousands fits the bill on all counts. All of the pieces feel slightly wicked and used to perfection. {via Shiny Squirrel}

Warm + Cozy Sweaters.
I believe in layering. Always, always layer. Because you can always cool down by removing a piece or two, but you can never warm up by adding the imaginary clothing you wished you’d put on while getting dressed. Sweaters are key in my wardrobe for two reasons: 1.) My office is cold no matter the time of year. And 2.) I try to keep heating costs down at home by wearing one in the evenings. Here are a few of my favorites this season.
Left: Asura Sweater, Right: Double-breasted deep-V neck sweater
Left: Hooded vest, Right: APC elbow patch sweater
Left: Merino cowlneck zip sweater, Right: Sailor Collar Cardigan
Left: Tab Closure Sweater Jacket, Right: Twist Front Cardigan

Verabel + Alyson Fox.
I love a good collaboration that makes me want to drop this month’s mortgage like a hot potato. Enter Verabel and the lovely, the most talented Alyson Fox, and a collection of lockets that any girl would be happy to own a piece of.

Happy Weekend.
+ Talking Pictures: found photos with writing on them
+ Obsessing over the illustrated works of Erica il Cane.
+ Probably going to need some of Martha S.’s holiday paper tape since I’ve decided to go with kraft paper for wrapping gifts this Christmas.
+ Have you seen the new IKEA book?
+ Or the stop motion video behind the making of their cookbook, Homemade Is Best?
+ How about this typographic experiment video?
+ Loving these clean + minimal wallpapers for your iPhone.
+ Wishing I’d thought of this book idea first. I like biting.
+ If you’re feeling lazy this Thanksgiving, I have just the dish for you!
+ Does that not look like the most comfortable skirt ever??
+ Looking forward to making these Rainbow Fudge Pops next summer.
+ Mmmmm… mulled wine.

Happy Weekend!
