a little PINspiration

Hello loves! As with most of you, I am busy hammering away... wrapping things up at work, literally wrapping things up at home and getting our house ready for out of town visitors so, as usual, blogging gets the short end of the stick during this time of year. That said I have been busy on places like Pinterest, for example.  Lets take a little peek at some recent pins, shall we?!

Much more can be found on my Pinterest profile -- HERE! I shall return soon... meanwhile, here is a little Christmas playlist from last year that I've since added to. Enjoy!

dreaming of fall

I suppose it shouldn't really come as a surprise that I fell in love with the A/W 2012 Orla Kiely ads  after seeing them on Tumblr & then later on the Clothes Horse.  They were shot by shot by Venetia Scott and are so in tune with what I want my Autumn to look like this year: muted greens and browns, sheer blouses under mini dresses, mary janes, creams and lace and delicate prints, oh my! I could go on and on -  I felt it only right to share them here.  I always love Orla's collections (as evidenced by many past posts, tumbls[?] and wishlists) but, admittedly, I have yet to purchase any items aside from a wallet and some stationary several years back.  One day I shall own an O.K. frock! Until then I'll continue to drool over the ad campaigns. Care to join me?

Speaking of autumnal day-dreaming, a little fall inspired playlist...

Incidentally, it is still sweltering here in la-la land but we did have some clouds yesterday!

polka dots and sunbeams

I am really starting to wonder if the schizophrenic weather the US (and possibly everywhere else) is experiencing is going to be the new norm? I have to say it makes dressing a little tricky because you never know if you need extra layers or not.   The past few days, for example, have been very warm but over the weekend it is was cold and rained harder than I can ever remember it raining here in Los Angeles.  The day I snapped these was a particularly sunny day and I chose to wear one of my new "go to" dresses.  Its actually by Alexa Chung for Madewell from a couple of seasons ago but I got it (original tags intact) at Wasteland basically for free (ok, not really free. but compared to the original price I did well). Its a great warm weather dress, thin and breezy.

and so my love affair with polka dots forges on...
