girls & boys

i'm excited about band of outsider's launch of girl, "the more ethereal new collection of affordable feminine dresses and separates."and loving these images of kirsten dunst from band of outsiders's boy spring 2011 campaign...they were taken at the huntington botanical gardens in pasadena, ca. one of my favorite places in so cal :)

inspired by...

anndra neen, jewelry designed by sisters phoebe and annette stephens...described perfectly here... "unusually rustic-glamorous pieces of handmade copper, brass, and nickel-silver jewelry all hewn in mexico. the designs--almost a cross between what you might find around the neck of frida kahlo or diana vreeland and locked behind glass at a mayan archeological museum--reveal an uncommonly bold sort of beauty, but also the hand that made them. "

(their first piece in the video is amazing!)

wrangler australia (and the cutest couple!)

i am always inspired by vinatge wrangler pieces. and recently inspired by wrangler australia. and maybe it's because of the cool couple behind the australian brand, andy paltos (creative director) and sarah gilsenan (womenswear designer). "together they’ve amassed the largest archive of wrangler designs in the world, most of them packed into shelves, racks…even a fireplace in sarah’s melbourne apartment.“it sounds corny but we live the brand,” says andy. “we travel twice a year looking for vintage wrangler.” He points to one of his favourite pieces. “that jacket is from a farmer in kansas. he wore it every day for 50 years.” after he died, andy bought it for the collection."-read more hereok, american wrangler... please do this!

last wall standing

while hiking through the woods at jonah's mother's house we always pass this old abandoned house. towards the back of it is a wall that is ready to fall and looks like it used to be a kitchen. there are four tiles that remain on the wall and two of them have amazing ships on them! they are great old tiles. i always think the wall will be gone the next time we are there, so here they are close up...

victorian pretties

every once in awhile i get the urge to browse ebay for "victorian hearts" and "gold filled bangles!" these were my favorite finds...
