Halloween Costume Ideas are a brewing


I think I've officially accepted that it's Fall because this picture made me instantly start fantasizing about homemade Halloween Costumes.



Sheer Lace Skirts///

You may remember my post from earlier this week about layers. It featured a beautiful sheer lace skirt. Basically the winter version of this look below. I can't get over these beautiful ethereal pieces. Perfect, apparently, for any Season.

Dreamy Shoes on the Cheap///Asos

Shoes on sales at Asos. All are under $50. Some WAY under. A lot have peep toes, but that's nothing that some tights or a pair of cute socks can't help.

Whoa///


Whoa, put models around normal sized human beings and they suddenly become terrifying.

Love that HAIR///Drew Barrymore



Have you noticed that Drwe Barrymore is just getting hotter and hotter with age? I hope to emulate this aspect of her life as I grow older. And I hope to emulate her hair RIGHT NOW///


Don't hate me///

But I love this.


It looks like our kitty Maxine: shy, demure and oooh so cute.

Rings on EVERY finger


Beautiful.

The PERFECT Fall Boots///from Vintage

I WANT THESE. The Vintage® Lace-Up Chukka Boot from Eddie Bauer is the PERFECT Fall boot.There is nothing for my closet that I want more.

Words Through Walls///A Photo Blog Project

My dearest Haley and I have started a photo blog together. She in LA///and I in PDX, sharing a love for walls. We had this funny moment one day while she was still living here in Portland: We were talking down the street, talking about photography and she says, "There is this one wall I would love to take photos of." And I don't remember if it was me asking her "Is it in the Pearl?" or she said it, but then I said, "THE PURPLE ONE?!" And she screamed, "YES!!!" Now this is Portland, it's not like there is one cool spot here. But it's so amazing that we were both so fond of this one purple wall that we had to do something about. Obviously not only our souls, but our creative sides, had a bond. 

Thus, Words Through Walls was born. 


Our first post? The purple wall.

So we will continually be posting colorful and textural walls all over Portland and Los Angeles.

Check out our walls and ENJOY

Storage Inspired///DIY Dresser

I am in desperate need of a new dresser. My IKEA model has offcially bit the dust. Getting clothes out of the drawers is like a circus act///I can't pull any of the drawers out more than a couple inches. So frustrating. So I'm hoping to pick up some cheap flea market find, paint something cute on it like this and my woes will be gone.

Belted Beauties///Luca Luca

My first post surveying fashion week///and I have to say, I didn't expect it to be this. Like I said in my Fall Fashion post, skinny belts over your layers are THE accessory for Fall.

 

But this beauty from Luca Luca's Spring 2011 Collection caught me off guard. It seems like so many of the collections I've seen are very tailored///which ofcourse is always gorgeous. But I love how easy this style looks. Daytime, night time///Sunday lounge day or summer wedding. The pulled back hair, lights makeup and body sans jewelry is perfect. She is truly glowing.



Rainy Fall days///make me want to cook

Tonight's dinner///


***I cooked my pot pie with Quorn vegeterian chicken breasts and fakin bacon and it was soo good! Ketch made the non veggie style of course. We also added a tons of fresh vegetables: potatoes, carrots, peas, onion and broccoli. The best part though was the fact that it felt so much healthier than the average pot pie (even with the puff pastry). The gravy is simply stock and red wine versus the classic cream of chicken/musheroom soup recipe. Savory comfort food at its best.Yumm///


We made our cupcakes with blackberry jam and raspberries on top. Awesome recipe. Super light and refreshing///

it's all about///LAYERS


Transitioning to Fall///

With October right around the corner I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that Fall has arrived. Leaves are changing, mornings are crisp/afternoons warm and pumpkins have already arrived at the grocery store. 

As I think about what I'll be wearing as the warm months transition to chillier/rainier ones, these trends come to mind.

///BRIGHT orange or pink lips applied with a lipstick brush



/// Oversized classic men's button ups - I'm in LOVE with that sheer shirt. It's suddenly so feminine.


///Motorcycle Jackets for night


///Jean Jackets for day



Thin belts bring structure to the oversized styles seen all over this fall///



///bare legs paired with socks and every type of shoe including heels, platforms and ankle boots.




///loose long hair///or hair up in a mid bun to high topknot///braids
