i'm feeling much better blonde. and have come to love the curls, after some lessons from my dear annessa (stylist extraordinare who spent SIX HOURS taking my hair back to blonde a week ago) on how to work with them rather than against them.
stop the presses
i'm feeling a gray and beige thing happening.
i'm obsessed with this pair of chie mihara heels! i lovingly blame my friends and chie fans, and jill of fifty5X3 who keep gushing over her gorgeous zapatos:

grey and beige/tan are amazing with brights, especially tan + kelly green and orange, and grey with bright purple and bright blue. i'm imagining a tan sweater and skirt with bright green or orange shoes, or a special bright orange dress with tan shoes, that sort of thing. like, a pop of neutral with the brights, or a pop of brights with the neutral. this is also a way to ease into the more washed out color palettes of seasons to come, especially for a color addict like me. something about the interplay of rich neutrals and brights in a cute, and modern way really appeals to me.
pretty things
ooh, feather and fan stitch:
love the tent/bubble shape and the waffle-like texture:
i'm grooving on the tent shape this year (anyone who's been around a while would recall the orange tent dress i did for my one of my finals at parsons). perhaps one of the sweater designs i attempt next will have this shape.
smocks! this is SO 70s:
a sophisticated yet twee dress, and i'm always all about the cute:
