i want to live in a j.crew catalog





i can't get enough of the coral lips, wispy hair, chunky jewelry, and adorably awkward poses

well done, j.crew. well done.

fancy schmantzy

with the help of my beautiful and talented friend
mitzi dick
(real name)
i have constructed a photo collage to promote a wonderful chicago clothing boutique called
AKIRA



check out ShopAKIRA.com for some seriously amazing pieces,
and if you're in the chicago area make sure to stop by one of their many brick and mortar locations.
loads of denim and a massive selection of incredible dresses,
and there is always a ridiculous sale going on.

best of all, use online discount code
SSM15
for 15% off until december 31st!!


be sure to check out mitzi's brilliant blog
for your daily fix of vintage prints, craft ideas, and adorably delicious recipes

on the cheap: urban outfitters

bdg fisherman cardigan $68

=

heritage1981 cable knit sweater $28.90


i cannot be the only person who has discovered this:
urban outfitters & forever21
use some of the same distributors, so you can find some identical items at both stores at very different price points.


uo is brilliant for inspiration and vintage-feel jewelry, but before you buy, please put down the bdg top or silence+noise sweater and check xxi's website.  i'm just sayin..


then you can spend all those extra moneys on cupcakes

stella for kids

on a scale of 1 to 10, how embarassing is it that i want every item in stella mccartney's kids collection?

cutest interactive site and rollover lookbook ever.

they are aware that the children, themselves won't actually be purchasing from their website, aren't they?
who cares, it kept me entertained for a good hour.



i could totally fit into a boy's size 12, right?

i'm into it: navajo prints



native americans (is that still pc?) know how to do it right.
beautiful sunset-inspired prints with a pop of turquoise.
i'm so into it.
accessorize with feathers, lots of jewelry, and a one-with-mother-earth attitude.


but please try to avoid:


for the home decor lovers:
check out pendleton for some incredible native american print blankets and pillows
