fave fw2012 show : suno

obsessed with the mixing of ethereal prints that this playful duo put together. bright florals, asian watercolor-inspired b&w nature prints, and metallic polka dots are all smashed together to create this not so run-of-the-mill fall collection! yes, my love for resort/spring collections is usually much greater than for fall, mainly because i love warm weather and the clothes that go along with it, BUT this is something i can get on board with! adore. <3

melt.

stole this one from facebook. he is shopping for his late wife for valentines day... had to share.

happy cookie heart day!

wanted to make some valentines treats and have been dying to get working on crafting the perfect shortbread recipe. of course i turned to ina. and, with a little tweaking (i had to add some more butter and i obvi added dark chocolate chunks), i think i had a pretty good first attempt! oh and duh they're heart shaped... i was unwilling to compromise on that. :)

LOVE HER.

a new blog addiction has taken over my life at the same level as dears atlantic/pacific and olsens anonymous. sunni brook's beauty blog is every lady's best friend. this hair & makeup artist has the best tricks and tips, and her how-to videos are fantastic!! and can we mention that she is the cutest thing you've ever seen??! hate her.

jay kay! LOVE HER!!!

light hair+dark brows

ok, the fun factor of winter has passed, and now i have to find a way to be edgy in the mandatory minnesota uniform of sweaters/pants/boots/socks for months to come. currently obsessing over "strong" brows. this is a new years mini-resolution of mine... to master my perfect brow, as i have really never cared before in my life... brooke, ashley and kate? thank you. and sephora, i'll be seeing you soon.

sheer+retro=(sexy-hooker)

my favorite fall trend. plus, thanks to this little shop on etsy, it is possible to have this expensive look at an averagekins budget. slips, take a break. sexy, full-coverage lingerie, fall 2011 is your moment to be seen! you're welcome.

merriweather bra (by cosabella) and silhouette brief available at anthro.

on solid ground.

what a brilliant idea for a business!!! "on solid ground" rents out vintage goodies --- furniture, dishes, trunks, ... the list goes on! do i even need to add anything??? this precious website speaks for itself...! can i rent something just to put it in my room and stare at it please?!
