It’s finally getting to be coat weather around here! Most Novembers in Oklahoma are filled with lingering 70º days, but this one has been perfect. Highs in the 50s and low 60s, leaves that are almost sort of changing colors instead of going directly to dead brown, and a little bit of overcast dreariness thrown in for good measure. I’ll take it. I’ll also take one each of these coats. Have I never mentioned what a coat whore I am? Oh. Sorry.
There’s something so much better about nerd glasses being from an honest-to-goodness vintage nerd. I’ve been perusing MODvintage’s killer selection of frames. Bonus, they’re actually affordable. {via For Me, For You}
It’s true, wearing pretty underthings generally makes us ladies feel prettier in general. Possibly superficially sad, but true. I mean just look at those sexy little numbers up there I spied on net-a-porter. Now if only my bank account would catch up to my fashion sense… {via Greedy Girl}
I love these t-shirt aprons for about 10 zillion reasons.
1. They’re super cute. (Obviously.)
2. They’re easy to make.
3. They’re a great way to save that favorite tee that’s gotten holey.
4. Or take advantage of a great t-shirt sale
5. They’d make an awesome gift.
Okay, five. Five reasons I cannot go on without one.
As in mine is right around the corner, this Thursday as a matter of fact. (My birthday, not my party.) And while I’m not much for extravagant celebrations centered around myself, who doesn’t love the idea of their special day being just that… special. I’m thinking my ideal par-tay might go a little something like this.
+ In love with this last minute costume, a flowing hooded cloak.
Happy Halloween Weekend!
Hey: Sunday is the last day to sign up for this year’s Calendar Swap! Get on the ball or miss out until next October. (And possibly be wandering around for an entire year in the meantime, clueless as to what month or day it is. But you know, your choice…)
I’ve always been drawn to the unique (sometimes wonderfully snarky) handmade pieces In God We Trust creates, but that ring? It had me at hello. It’s even called the Rad Ring. Wish List, meet your newest member.
When I first saw these shoe clips from No. 144 I was immediately reminded of a similar thing my mom had when I was a kid. Clip on shoe accessories that breathed a bit of new life into a pair of heels she’d tired of or to match a certain outfit for a special occasion. I wonder why they’ve never been more popular when there’s the chance to make one pair of simple shoes look like ten. Love the bright colors! {via SeeSaw Designs}
When pressed to name my favorite shape I inevitably go with the circle. I like its fluid line, how there’s no real start or end to it all. But these days, at least in my own personal shape race, the triangle is closing the lead. It’s like the more angular, striking sister to the circle and I think I’m ready to have more of her in my life.
First thought, I’ve been watching way too much Dexter because I automatically think of him when I see a long apron. Second thought, this skeleton apron would come in handy for messy me when I make caramel apples tomorrow night. Third thought, I’m short – I wonder whether or not all the bones would line up correctly?
