tutu.

the english national ballet has invited a few designers to take on the tutu.  and in case you didn't know this about me ... I LOVE A GOOD TUTU.  and pointe shoes, but that is a different story altogether.

dude's got my number.

i mean, for real, peter nencini has got pretty and organized DOWN.

his goods are apparently being sold at partners & spade ... and we all know how i feel about them.

scarves.

spring scarves are my favorite kind of scarves. light, gauzy, colorful, lovely.  what more could a girl want? perhaps a few we are owls scarves.  they make the BEST spring scarves.

i'm quite fond of these mad hatters.

now. please.

it's been a while since i've fallen so quickly in love.  and so i suppose it's only fitting that i've fallen hard.  i need this.  now.

ps - there is also a muskrat skull available...

bird eggs of australia.

i am seriously in love with all of the pretty pastels that have been popping up all over the place.  i've never (or well at least not for a LONG while) been so smitten with such light, ethereal colors, and now i find myself lusting after light pink walls and the palest of blue plates. 

on a side note, it is going to be 75 here today which means, i'm afraid, we've hit spring, like for good, as in pollen soup and summer heat are just around the corner.

silk tulle and black lace.

why yes, yes please.

i've been searching high and low for a new bag.  one that isn't too big, all of my bags are too big, but at the same time, it needs to hold my shit.  i would like for it to be awesome, and this one is awesome.  i guess i would also prefer it if it were in my price range ...

sparkle face.

for the holidays.

summer IS turning into fall.

i've been up to my elbows in gold ink the past few days but that doesn't mean i haven't noticed the glorious morning AND evening temperatures. sure it still hovers in the 90's for the larger portion of the day, but the cooling down at night, well that gives me hope.

hello pretty.

in my head i'm a ballerina, in real life, notsomuch (i wish i had liked those little kid dance classes more). but still, maybe i want my life to be lived in these colors? we talk of painting all of our doors a coraly salmon color and our walls grey. now we just need a bit of yellow and we are all set.
