looking living

todays blog is about inspired living and design.  i spend a fair amount of time dreaming about exactly what i'd like my living space to look like, including the gatherings i would host and the meals i would cook for all the various people i'd invite.  i also spend a fair amount of time dreaming about the places i will travel to and the people i will take with me when i'm rich and famous.  this blog is a little bit inspiration for both:

 the cozy and luxurious uxua casa hotel,  also via the style files:

"nine beautiful rustic ‘casas’ are built and decorated in collaboration with local artisans using traditional building methods, recycled and organic materials, and attention to detail."








ahem.  two tickets to brazil, please.  one for me and one for my favorite other person.  i have some scoping out to do!

speaking of boyfriends

wanted:  cute and interesting boys who would like to take me to nice dinners in cozy restaurants, hold hands, and potentially kiss goodnight.  must be extremely kind and unafraid of dreaming

i am such a sucker for these fall boyfriend pullovers by steven alan.  they are at once tomboysy, while the half-down buttons give them just the perfect touch of femininity.  they remind me of the dreams i used to have in adolescence, when although at the time i had braces and one eyebrow and 0 friends that were boys, i used to dream of the day when i might have a smart and adorable boyfriend who would sit in coffee shops with me, talk, and maybe even make out on the bench outside hinsdale middle school.   in these dreams i would wear my cute boyfriend's clothes all the time, and they would always look perfect on me.  steven alan has now made this possible, and circumvented the middleman to boot.  way to go, steve!

the only thing to decide now is which awesome pattern and color i like the best!  so many choices!

high school reunion

so lately i've been fantasizing about showing up to my high school reunion looking radiant, confident, and chic.  i swore to myself when i left ten years ago that i'd never, even again return to face those "bitches and hos" from my hometown, but as november approaches (and omega works its magic) i'm finding myself less and less resentful and more and more curious as to how everyone's been doing?  i mean, i've certainly changed and remained the same, so it'd be interesting to see how others have too.  also to find out who's married and who isn't, etc.  also, i'm doing pretty well in terms of life and confidence, so really what is there to be worried about?  also i haven't gotten fat!  chalk it up to having tons of planets in my 11th house, or perhaps it's the leo rising, but as the date approaches i'm heavily drawn to the idea of dropping in and getting the dish, the scoop, the DL on all my old cohorts.  hell, maybe i'll even make out with somebody!  (and maybe this time around, they won't be gay! or have a girlfriend!  but that's another story)

i think either of these sleek little numbers from diane von furstenberg would do just the trick:

tiny dancer dress

davina dress








while i was perusing the site i figured i might as well take a little peek and see if diane had any other items for sale that i might like to add to my fall collection.  not a ton caught my eye, which is interesting because diane von furst has been one of my most favorite go-to designers in the past.  but i loved the light-heartedness and versatility of this fall petticoat:

pyrette bis skirt in charcoal








now all i need is to find a company that makes fair trade and sustainable tights and stockings!

keeping track

i'm starting this blog for myself so i can keep track of all the things i like in clothes and fashion.  this blog will contain looks i like, things that make me go ooooh, and items i'd love to own in my personal collection.
