Very Marimekko

I am a little bit bummed that I didn't make it to the Marimekko Concept Store on the Upper East Side, mostly to see if I could get my hands on this wood-bead necklace (which appears to be sold out online). I have taken an extreme liking to wooden necklaces as of late. I keep thinking I will make one for myself, but as you can tell, my follow through on craft ideas is low.... Wouldn't homemade/handmade wooden beaded necklaces make great holiday presents? I gotta get on this!


Anywhoo, here are a couple more lovely items from Marimekko...

Plaid Love

I had to repost this gorgeous plaid Study Jacket I spotted on the well-curated blog, Mosey, simply because I know you are all mad for plaid!


I love it layered over a little home-bound lingerie look - Although in reality I would never find myself wearing it this way - I mean, let's be realistic! More likely you'd find me wearing this with light denim shirt, black jeans and my new shoes :)

Newbies


Picked up these lovelies at Opening Ceremony in NYC yesterday - So cute with tights & dresses as well as skinny jeans! And I do believe they will fit perfectly into my Pacific Northwest lifestyle :)



P.S. Thanks to everyone who emailed NYC shopping tips!

Aubin & Wills

After seeing Chelsea's post on British clothing brand, Aubin & Wills, I immediately hopped over to their site. Lovely plaids, stripes and great silhouettes made it an instant favorite. Of course you'll have to pay $43 to have anything shipped to the US (Yikes). I think I will use the pieces as inspiration for things to keep my eye out for stateside, but worth checking out nonetheless.

This Week's Greats


There were quite a few great street-style photos floating around blogland this week - Here are two of my favorites. I think we can take away a couple MUST-DO's from these two ladies: Bangs, A Cute Coat, and Tights.


I am off to NYC for work next week, so posting may be light. If anyone has any last minute shopping/eating tips for me, let me know!

Until next time, have a lovely weekend!

The Line-Up



I've been thinking about hairstyles these past few days (and always)... I can tend to be a bit schizophrenic with my hair. I am STILL at an awkward growing-out length with mine, so I wear it back everyday. I was trying to grow my bangs out for a 70's-inspired-hair-parted-in-the-middle look, but am now considering shorter bangs again. (Although, Portland weather points to no-bangs, because no one likes soggy bangs). Will ever make up my mind?!?!?

Anyways! I loved this post on Hair Inspiration Line Up - Something to get the juices flowing. Which of these four styles is your favorite???

This Weekend


Fall is very much in full-swing in Portland. My style focus has shifted to how to stay warm while still looking cute! This weekend I will be channeling this Fall look... Grey skinnies, plaid shirt, suede brogues, warm scarf and a short fitted coat. I don't do leather jackets, but I ran across this cute wool biker jacket... All the styling of the leather coat with a more Camp Comfort fabrication.

Have a good weekend and enjoy the Halloween festivities!

Color Me Mine


Different color nails? Would you try it??? The picture is very cute, but I think I'd look a bit like a crazy person (or teenager) with these nails...

In The Mail

(Warning: Totally ridiculous self-indulgent post... I was too tired last night to come up with anything better - Sorry!)

I did a little stocking up this week! It started raining in Portland and I quickly realized I could no longer avoid the purchase of rain boots... Might as well splurge for the Hunters - I think they will get A LOT of use!
