emersonmade!
yes, i know. lots of us do and you really didn’t need me to tell you once again. but i was just popping through my list of daily reads and i saw haydee at happenstance posted THIS and i just about died. emersonmade apparel is happening, people. it oozes girly-tomboy awesomeness and i’m in love.
* it should be noted that i really want to have chickens and ducklings when i have a yard. if you’re one of my close friends, you already know this. but seriously. these pics make chicken ownership look very glam (although i’m pretty sure it is anything but.)

a little glam for your wednesday… courtesy of fashion gone rouge

some of my faves from the shop nitty gritty. lots of love for mr. wang in here. i think i need that dress- i could wear it all 4 seasons with the right accessories.

thanks to rachel of elephantine for bringing me some amazing eye candy this morning.
xx,

p.s: and while we are on the topic of monqiue lhuiller, i have a confession. i haven’t had dress envy until i saw this beauty on pretty mommy. i LOVE everything about this dress…

pretty gold nail polish (with some amazing acne shoes)

+ i keep coming back to images of these high waisted khakis. so hot on tall, skinny ladies. so steve urkel on me and my short torso. doesn’t she look great in them? i haven’t given up hope yet. just need to find the right pair.
+ it is no secret that i think j crew’s jewelry line is impeccable. i’m crossing my fingers that these will still be around when my new budget has a little more wiggle room.
+ i don’t need another pair of wayfarers, but like the shape of these sunglasses.
+ i don’t think i could ever have enough of these sheer tanks. my summer wardrobe staple.

the elle blog did a feature on leopard print accessories this evening, and i’m loving this image of our favorite fashion icons rocking the print. leopard is really big for fall, and as elle so beautifully illustrates, the print has definitely become a classic.

happy weekend friends! i hope you all have something wonderful planned. nick and i are gearing up for another move. we are staying in the same building but moving into a much larger apartment. i’ll even have my own little office and closet (!)- which i am dying to organize/decorate. we’re also hoping to spend some quality time with old friends, whip together a bbq or two, watch some baseball, and break in the new place.
enjoy your weekend…take some time to relax and enjoy the first few days of summer.

love these nautical pieces from CXXVI Clothing Co.

what can i say. it may be a bazillion degrees here in mpls, but i’ll always swoon over cozy clothing.

woof. thank goodness it’s friday. my brain is total mush from scrambling to meet a deadline at work.
i wish i had a few links for you this week- but i don’t. instead, i give you a few images i saved from built by wendy. practical items that would get a lot of love from yours truly. i love the bowl-of-fruit tee. no idea why- i just love it.

the clog. i won’t lie to you, i may have given a small scoff, and wrote off this trend months ago. not for me. then joanna goes and posts this, and i suddenly realize, maybe i don’t hate the clog itself. maybe i hate that i just can’t pull off the clog.
she rocks these!

there’s been some fun discussion over this photo, at jak & jil. the image has been circulating for some time, but i saw it for the first time this week. i think it’s brilliant. what do you think?

two things i always lust after, but soon regret. when will i learn? nonetheless- these are some lovely images taken by antonella arismendi

i can’t get enough of these tranquil images. using shades of white and ivory aren’t just a trend for interiors, you can find the soft shades used everywhere from printing techniques, to identity systems, to couture fashion.
