...today's my birthday. i'm 32.
thank you, mom and dad for your love and support. i love you.
and my undying love goes out to my husband peter, my *almost* birthday twin. his birthday was yesterday, august 5th. he turned the big THREE-OH.
peter, you are my puzzle piece. my bunny. thank you for being in my life.
my birthday wish? that 32 is 32 times better than 31.
again, it's been a while...it's always a while in between these sorts of things. more so as time slips into the future. guess i am not worth my weight in fashion salt. a poor "fashion blogger" i suppose. perhaps i am not the latter at all! a distinct possibility.
fall's almost here. i haven't been paying much attention to the coming fashions, except in passing, as my mind's been occupied by other more pressing thoughts and other inwardly focused mental machinations.
i have but one thing on my mind lately, and would love to have, if of course, money was no object...
i need a new pair of black boots. the pair i bought for $2 at the salvation army last fall were claimed as a potty by my black feline fiend/friend, girl, a few weeks back, and umm, yeah, as such, i'm loathe to keep wearing them...as one might expect.
i believe these black frye tina campus boots (@ shopbop) would make a fine replacement for said thrifted boots. they fit my aesthetic and fashion philosophy to a tee: fine materials (nice leather and a REAL stacked wooden heel), simple, classic shape. subtile sexiness imbued by the small lift provided by the aforementioned heel. bold, in its simplicity. form following function. in other words, perfection.
found this past week and weekend (most of it at the alameda antiques and collectibles fair, on alameda, in the east bay).
couldn't resist the orange spangliness!
mmm, my favorite colors:
decanter and shot glasses, from france:
(now i just need a cool bar cart to set it on!)
though i don't smoke, i was entranced by the mod, simple, boldness of this ashtray (which can just as easily be put to use as a bowl for keys or candy, natch):
just pretty and loud and thus irresistible to the likes of me:
and the best find of the weekend, my birthday present...this danish teak dining table.
now we just need chairs for that table! these brightly colored bertoia chairs are nice. expensive, but nice. :)
and a bigger apartment might help too. ha!
perhaps someday...on both fronts!
