and My Favourite Today is Undercover

Jun Takahashi is creative gold. this collection is youthful, filled with contrasting fabrics in the outfits and within the pieces themselves, blending subdued hues, creating scalloped cuts, !maintaining a subtle level of androgyny (my favourite part). this is the kind of collection that makes you wish it was fall again... well almost. what is the most important thing it achieves? yummy inspiration!

mmm, one thing i can't wait for is...

the new April 77 to come out with there spring/summer collection. i pretty much want every garment that they provide. the blazer they have on their website is worthy of hugs and kisses. i love how consistent they have been over the last few years. their british post-punk and softened rockabilly looks are gorgeous. they are definitely one of my favourite labels. they don't over-saturate their brand by creating a superfluous amount of non-coalescing pieces. you can pretty much only purchase from their collection for one season and you would have a complete wardrobe. i mean, just let your eyes do the wanting.

Moonlight Desires II

it was nice to have a day off today. after all the errands were done i was unfortunately left to my own devices. and what does that mean? spending a bit of time wishing and wanting for so many nice things.


mmmm... a milkshake of potential mix and matches!
1)that lovely dress is from Etsy...from the NikitaJade shop ...what a vintage dream!
2)i would wear that dress to the Safari Motor Inn in Burbank California in order to escape this cold winter weather... imagine that econo-vacation deliciousness, my eyes are hurting from all of the fluorescent lighting. coincidentally they filmed parts of the movie True Romance (1999) there which is why i would love to pay it a visit.
3)i have recently fallen in love with Nine West again. i bought a pair of heels from there a few weeks ago and am dying for the snow to melt so that i can traipse around in them. look at these yummy little gladiator heels which are only about 92 dollars.... i wonder who is designing for them... have they received some sort of revamp or what? these are from Zappo's.
4)i have a mild addiction to baby oil and can't keep enough of it stocked up in the house (Johnson and Johnson's is the best). i need and want it all of the time.
5) i can't keep repeating how much i'm loving Kenneth Jay Lane and all of his gorgeous jewellery. i found this one on the Bloomingdale's site.
6) and finally a deerskin tobacco pouch for me please. native american items are often so beautifully crafted. this one looks as soft as my skin! its from another Etsy shop called Madejust4u

p.s. i can't wait for spring

Ain't No Thing But a Ring

I was looking through my jewellery box searching for new things to wear. in general i keep things on my neck, wrist, and finger on a minimum. only because i don't want to get a whole bunch of junk jewellery, i'd rather have some nicer things. but costume jewellery is also good. i've found a half way point. me likes Kenneth Jay Lane ALOT and i can't figure out which one i love the most. MaxandChloe has a really good selection which makes it even more difficult to choose. may the best ring win.

Moonlight Desires

I love this top and wish it was on me right now. they sell it online at oogabooga and i'm thinking of getting it. it's made by Bless, which is straight outta Berlin. yet another thing i wish was sold somewhere here.
