This badass-yet-feminine slashed up dress by Anne Sophie Back is so awesome.  Love these I.D. Tuttle boots too.  Both at Stand Up Comedy.

So this past weekend Seth and I booked our trip to Europe.  We plan on going in and out of London, with stops in Reading, England; Den Haag, Holland; Edinburgh, Scotland; Antwerp, Belgium; and maybe other places along the way that strike our fancy.  If you are even a somewhat seasoned traveler or live abroad and have any suggestions of places that are fun (and sort of inexpensive) to stay, eat, or just swing by in those areas, please comment!  I would really value some input.  We’re going to be there in late January which is rapidly approaching.

By the way,  the Library of Congress just put up a bunch of photochrom images of Holland today on Flickr which is where I found the image above.

So as you know, I was extremely inspired by this project by Heleen Klopper which I posted about a few weeks ago.  So I went out, bought some felting needles and dyed roving (lazy) and went at it! Two down and a bunch more to go.  Just thought I’d share.  It’s really a lot of fun…

LOVE these unisex fair-trade shoes designed by Osborn Design Studio, and made in Guatemala City.  I can’t believe I haven’t seen these until today.  These floral booties on top are my personal faves. Check out their site for more awesome fabrics.

Just found these yesterday at a local thrift store- I’m oxford crazy, I tell you!  I was charmed by the burgundy suede.

They are called “Aqua Skips” – suede, yet supposedly also waterproof?!  I will put this to the test.

Sometimes as a blogger I feel like a collector of lovely images. Sometimes I hoard photographic odds and ends from Etsy that make no sense as a collection.  However, I find them each lovely in their own right.

There really is something so awesome about hand-loomed scarves and blankets.

How nice would it be to have this as a tile pattern somewhere in your house?  And by “your” I mean “my”.

I bought this at Revolve after a week or two of thinking about it, with a discount code found here.  Totally awesome.  I’d just like to say say that not all celebrity clothing/accessory lines are overrated- they key is pairing up with people who know what they’re doing.

I think this idea is brilliant.

“Wool Filler for mending holes in textiles was born out of a need to repair a hole in a woolen cardigan. The edges of such holes are rarely clean-cut and they are often surrounded by ladders, fraying or worn patches. The differences in thickness and the openness of the structure make felt the ideal solution for mending. Felt, being non-woven, attaches easily to any open structure. Fillers made for materials like wood consist of fibres and a chemical binder. Felt is different: it attaches mechanically by means of minuscule scales. Where once there was a hole, there’s now a new piece of fabric.”

Well loved cardigan… rescued!
