etsy wednesday - chunky chain

i'm in a jewelry rut - i'm desperately seeking a solution (not susan). i think this chunky piece from musette made might be a nice start.

fashion blitz - chambray

i never thought i'd say this, but i'd love a chambray button up for the winter. i saw a great one at the jean shop while wandering the meat packing district in ny, but thought, "really?" here i am eyeing these two; bdg boyfriend for $48 from urban outfitters & this one from j.crew for $98. ps. i'd put this on too.

handmade days - diy night

UPDATE: the event will take place on thursday, dec. 3!

calling all seattle diy enthusiasts!along with some of my favorite people at faire gallery & cafe, i'll be hosting a diy night on thursday, dec. 3 from 7:30-10:00pm. pack up your latest project & work on it in the company of good people.

although moving to the east side of the hill means i'm there a lot less than i'd like - faire remains one of my favorite places in seattle. the space is warm, good music fills the aire, the art is fun & unexpected, & of course the food & drink are tops. no rsvp necessary, but if you want to invite friends or get it on your calendar, i've got a little something up on facebook.

i'm super excited to annouce that i'll be crossing another item of my 2009 to do list - bring in the new year! click here to download, embed or link the image to your site.

etsy wednesday - bellabas

bellabas is filled with fresh, beautiful clothes that make you want to put on your hunters & walk in the country on a sunny day. i especially enjoy this lovely hook top for $60 & black bell dress for $120.

fashion blitz - for the love of down

 

i'm in the midst of airing out a horribly musty, but oh so sexy leather bomber jacket. it was on my list of winter must haves & i scared a burnt red one at red light for $45. it's been sitting on our porch for 2 days & hasn't gotten much better. i'm not sure what i'll do next, maybe a fluff cycle with some dryer sheets; i've also heard about putting it in a bag with kitty litter for a month. who knows.

in the meantime, all i can think about is a warm, poofy coat. i almost landed the blue one for $250 at snowboard connection's sample sale, but busted the zipper. i'm digging this one from steve madden for $150 & another from michael kors for only $100. shefinds also has a great list.

found art - alexey malina

i love these digital flowers by russian artist, alexey malina. not to mention the entire portfolio.

music to listen to - wax tailor

 

wax tailor's in the mood for life is a latest addition to my library. i haven't given it the attention it deserves, but so far it seems pretty fantastic.
