WEAR | Lemlem Scarves

Lemlem Alula Split Scarf

Lemlem, model Liya Kebede’s mission to preserve the art of weaving in her native Ethiopia, makes me happy.  Very happy.  With the point in my life where I need easy, more…”throw-ony”…type stuff to look put together looming, scarves are looking MIGHTY good.  That everything Lemlem offers is handmade only makes them even more desirable.

GOD, I MISS REAL CLOTHING.

*cries*

LIFE | still here…

It’s probably poor form for a hugely pregnant blogger to disappear for a week without letting everyone know that her status hasn’t changed.  Sorry.

I’m still here.  Just bigger and more tired than I was last week.  Trying to keep sane in the midst of a 40-hr work week, a commute, and raging pregnancy hormones (and all the bodily wreckage that comes with them) is hard, y’all!  But, in true form, I attempted to mask my pain by buying something.

I’ve mentioned Maya Brenner‘s necklaces before, but thought that now was the best time to leap.  I’m considering it a push present.  Fight me.

Notice how the diamond sits over my hometown.  #SWAG.  Get one here.

BUY | Aldo Sobeslava Wedges

So I’m trying this…arrangement…out where if I get one new thing, one existing thing has to go.  As such, the acquisition of the Wang-ilicious wonders directly below this post necessitates that the once-worn Aldo wedges of love from a few posts ago be put on the chopping block.

Be still my fickle heart.

If you want dibs, they’re on the ebay right ‘chea.

WEAR | summering

Pondering over a couple of lovelies to help me finish out what’s shaping up to be a VERY.HOT.SUMMER.

Alexander Wang shorts and shoes

I’m huge.  I’m hot.  I’m uncomfortable.  I can’t think of better reasons to “treat myself” to more ish that probably won’t get used for fear of baby vomit ruining it in the near to distant future.  YAY!

…reboot…

Everything shown (and more!) is available here.

I’m back!!!

I wish I were more consistent with my lil’ ol’ etsy store, but I tend to follow the ebb and flow of my creative urges.  Recently, there was an ebb.  Let’s hope I can ride it out the fullest extent possible.  =)

 

P.S. – I’ve updated the “Overflow” (i.e. shop my closet) blog with a nice pair of Prada slingbacks that would be perfect for someone who wears a size 9…

Me with my CC Skye Onie and wildy appropriate lens flare


It’s been nine months…I finally got the bag of my dreams.  Yes I have been sniffing it the entire time it’s been in my possession.  Don’t judge me.
