a little leopard for your closet

 

 

1- i am a fan of boden.  their clothes are extremely well made and the items i have bought have lasted me forever.  my only issue with boden is the sizing.

i can't seem to nail down my size, ever.  and the shipping takes too long.

but these shoes caught my eye and are adorable with skinny pants and pencil skirts.

plus leopard. 

 

2- you know i will choose comfort over style every day.

and these are both.

i could wear these to the gorcery store with an oversized white button down and be winning in the style department.

 

3- just yes and gimme right now.

 

4- i am definitely on the clare vivier trend train.

i can't decide between this leopard or this one

 or this one or this one.

or any of them

 

 

5- what is it about golden goose sneakers that makes them so expensive?

is it because of how cool they are?

 

 

6- i am waiting for this to go on sale and it's mine.

unless you buy it all up which i wouldn't blame you for at all.

 

 

7- leopard pants in leather 

 

8- leopard pants in denim

 

both are great.

 

9- a cute little sweatshirt with enormous style (see #2)

with leggings if it's real cold.

but for me i'd go naked legs and these booties.

 

10- the ballet flat is fall's version of a flip flop.

these are the leopardiest. 

 

11- more boden.  these are a well priced leopard bootie.

there are tons out there.  but i stand by boden's quality and i think that's important in a shoe i would wear literally every day.

 

 

leopard!

 

 

 

 

back to work monday

 it's been a glorious vacation for me.

but today is fiona's first day of school (3rd grade!!??)

and that means i can no longer while the days away watching housewives and playing with lego friends simultaneously.

i am both sad and excited.

i have missed painting.

 

i have my eye on these beautiful colors.. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and now it's time to work.

this art studio..

has me dreaming of my own place. 

if it could it would look exactly like this.

 

 

this girl..

is growing up too fast.

she'll be a 3rd grader on monday and i can't figure out where that time went.

i can still see her flipping around like a flipper fish while trying to change her diaper.

 

 

this movie..

SUCKS!!!!!!

 

 

and this..

fucking right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

all i want for fall is everything

i am not saying i am entirely ready for fall because summer is so sweet and free.

but i am very ready for loose clothes that cover my food baby and/or wine barrel middle.

 

plus i just goodwill'd a lot of my shit and it's time to replenish..

 

here are some of my favorite transitional pieces to get me through until horrible winter when all i want is a bathrobe and downton on repeat (who am i kidding that's every day)..

 

 

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12

 

i just bought #3. it was only $21.

 

there are like, a million more things i want so look out for more of these "all i want for fall is everything" posts.

 

 

 

craigslist finds

i haven't done this in a while,

but i've had my eye on some cute things over on the craig...

 

wicker cart

 

how cute is this?  indoors or out.

you know how i love a dirty pink.

(has a smoked glass top)

 

 

teal vintage sofa

 

this i am obsessed with.

i keep envisioning it in my living room.

 

with VERY different pillows.

 

 

wicker elephant table

 

 needs no explanation.

it needs to be on my porch.

 

 

gray tufted velvet sofa

 

this is urban outfitters so there's that.

but it's really cute!

and it unfolds to a bed.

 

 

and this..

 

rattan sectional

 

how bad do i want this? 

real bad.

 

but it's too expensive.

i'll take the rug too.

 

 

any good CL finds in your area lately?

thoughts on these finds?

does rosie have a drinking problem?

(i love her regardless)
