steiff party

last thursday there was an event at my store honoring the 125 year old Steiff Company. perfect time to break out my girlhood ladybug purse and wear it as a necklace, right?! i was surprised at how many compliments i got, but hey—i’ll take it! i felt a little like tavi (minus the designer clothes and plus 10 years) adding a touch of whimsy to the outfit. 

hi mom!!




outfit: black sheath dress: isaac mizrahi for targe. sweater: aqua. pearls: gift. ladybug: steiff. bow brooch, tortoise cuff: antiques. bangle: hermes. not pictured (which is a bummer): blue tights from h&m, and 5"patent leather pumps from target.

you only want what you can't have

you know that saying? well i can attest that is does not only apply to babies and/or lovelorn teenagers. i recently had to tighten the old purse strings and really watch what i am spending. which for me is just not spending at all, i can't do that only spend a little junk. i can justify too many things. this started this weekend and i was very good: i was at school, then a concert, then home, and the park all weekend. no opportunity to shop. well monday morning rolled around and my wishlist is all of a sudden miles long and full of things i actually must have NOW.


1. lessons on how to "slappa tha bass." for reals, i really want to learn how to play. bad enough that i air-bass in the shower (tmi?)
