To Covet: Cold Comfort
On August 20, my boyfriend went into surgery to have his wisdom teeth removed. Today is August 30, and he’s going back to the oral surgeon for the fourth time to see if his body’s ready to heal, or if his lower jaw is still having a party to which everyone is invited. Our fridge [...]

Vicarious by Nature: Fall 2010 Lookbook
Shortly after I posted images from Vicarious by Nature‘s Spring ’10 lookbook, I was directed to their newly posted Fall ’10 selection. It’s flawless. There’s a certain beauty to this season’s trends: the muted colors are a welcome break from all that summer neon, and our senses are instead drawn to rich textures and odd [...]

To Covet: The Comfortable Bad-Ass
I honestly can’t remember who found Black Market Baby first: me, who has had them on my Etsy favorites list since time immemorial, or Lindsay, who posted about them last month and has been following them by RSS. (I never keep up with my RSS. Does that make me a bad blogger?) Maybe it was [...]

Get Wet: Eco-Conscious Swimwear
It’s too hot in Seattle. No, really: it’s been in the nineties all week, and on Wednesday we hit an all-time record: 103 degrees of sweaty humid heat. Though I’m spending my days in clothing that’s work appropriate and weather resistant (dresses! sandals! cropped pants and sleeveless shirts!) I’m day dreaming about sitting on the shores of Lake Washington, dipping my [...]

Inspired, Organic, On Sale!: Melanie Renee Designs
Score one for the home team: one of my local obsessions, fashion boutique Mapel, is now a triple threat: They’re US-owned (and local to Washington state); They’re a woman-owned and -operated small business; and They now feature organic designers. Mapel allerted me to Melanie Renee Designs, a California company that offers soft, feminine clothing inspired [...]

Rusted Skies: Carnelian and Blue
Sometimes inspiration comes simply: the front page of Etsy lists a user-created, rotating “treasury” and oftentimes I find myself attracted to the pretty things that pop up there. A recent treasury, created by CowlickCutey, inspired me to start looking into a color combination I haven’t seen in a while: deep, dark reds paired with a [...]

Late Spring Cleaning? Add Some Urban Chic to Your Decor
For once, my magazine “research” has done me some good! While perusing Lucky Magazine, I found an awesome handmade deal in the $15 and Under section. Yes, you heard me right: handmade and fifteen bucks or less. The loot I found is this: hand-designed pillar candles, named and designed for specific streets New York City, [...]

An Instant Classic: Black & White
I’ve always loved how clean-looking and classic the combination of pure black and white is. Being that I rent an old (read: dusty) house and own a big (read: furry) dog, I tend to shy away from anything elaborate, but these Etsy finds are just the thing to add a bold statement -with a modern [...]
