these textiles from pauline borca just make me laugh. a very happy photo shoot it seems to have been.

this first couple kinda creeps me out...but her dress is fun.

see what i mean? fun right?

love her shoes. (is it just me, or do their faces look a little digitally enhanced? hmm)
i saved my favourite for last. his hat cracks me up...but check out her dress! and tights! and hair! and FACE! love it. they're adorable. sosofun.

shabd chic

holysmokes. check out the tie-dye people. shabd is a genius.

(heart)
love the brightness of that blue. wowww.
the prettiest dress. love it. makes me think...tie-dye bridesmaid dresses......someone should do it. i think i just might.

{all photos are from her fantastic spring collection. she has stuff for kids too! eeppp!!!}

fab-u-lous

i'm sure it's pretty darn obvious, but just in case you're rather unobservant, i changed the layout of the blog. much like my bedroom, i simply much change the look of things every once in a while. i love flowers and thought the blog needed to look a little more colourful, brighter, fresher, all that jazz. (that is a strange word...fresher...)

those terms also describe this photo i found on design for mankind. (a superduper blog! i always find super fun stuff there.) it's very similar to the colour palettes lauren willhite creates on her blog color collective. it cracks me up and dazzles me at the same time. lovesss it. (the horse head was totally my idea. someone's been stealing my ideas!)

and that's all i have to say.

lovely shopping finds

i'm sick. i know, lame. and just before school starts again. fannntastic. ahwell. to make myself feel better i've been watching too much TV, sleeping, reading J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan (a love of mine), and playing with my newest toy: annie, my smoking new laptop. i guess being sick isn't all that bad...

anyways. when i say "playing" i really mean blog reading and a whole lot of wishful shopping. listed below are several finds that i would buy instantly if i were a millionaire. sounds depressing, but really it's quite fun. here you go:

bow tie neckalce from urban outfitters. if i were a man, i would wear bow ties everyday. obviouslyyy i'm not, so this necklace version will suit me quite nicely. (i think they should make them in plaid...)
these adorable cigarette pants (also from urban) come in my current favourite colour. yum.
i would wear bunnies on anything. but this comfy sweater will do. (from urban.)
these shoes from urban don't need a caption. just asljfnskjdgkdfghasd.
cuuuutest anthropologie skirt. i love geometry.
have you ever seen a prettier pair of wedges? i dare say you have not. (modcloth)

i love flowers on my legs. wearing some comfy ones right now actually! these are pretty. (also modcloth)
i lovelovelove this dress. loooove. that is all i have to say. (modcloth)
