bits and bobbins

i know of miss softspoken from wardrobe_remix…she’s been a contributor there for many years now. she’s got a savvy eye for stellar vintage pieces (see that superb old multicolored liz claiborne bag she’s selling, shown above)…but where she soars, i say, is with her lovely hand-crocheted hats and other accessories. lookit those bobbles! delicious.

summer is my least favorite time of year, it’s too hot and steamy and sweaty (in NYC at least)…and all during this stickiest of seasons i daydream about the cooler days to come and all the sartorial possibilities inherent to thus. softspoken’s hats are the just the kind of thing, the perfect textural, colorful winter pieces, that i see in said (day)dreams. too too good.
