rachel comey st. vincent dress


one of my favorite designers named a dress after one of my favorite singers (okay, i don't know for sure if it was named after her or not, but i'm going to run with it.) i think it's a sign.
available at beklina.

totokaelo.









how did i miss this? totokaelo, a website i have visited often, has an actual outpost in seattle. why i didn't know this when i was in seattle alludes me. argh! such frustration! their things are so beautiful and i have often perused their website, wishing that their delightful wares could be mine. i am just going to tell myself that the actual store would not have had a great selection, otherwise i will never stop kicking myself.

not fair.




these rachel comey shoes are much, much too perfect.
i think my heart just skipped a beat.
available at maryam nassir zadeh.

pretty little things.





when we were seattle i saw the most beautiful jewelry by
i. ronni kappos. i love the handmade, slightly retro feel to it.
i'm kind of kicking myself for not picking up a piece when it was right in front of me. sigh.
available here, here, and here.

denim jacket.




currently keeping my eyes peeled for the perfect denim jacket.
a few musts: must be very fitted, a bit worn, and quite faded.
the first two are from j.crew, the last is from the gap.

sonnenzimmer.






nick butcher and nadine nakanishi make up the stellar chicago design duo sonnenzimmer. i first saw some of their paintings at lula cafe and was really struck by their simplicity. about a year later i was at the renegade craft fair with a friend of mine when their booth popped out at me. i hadn't seen their posters before and i totally fell in love with them. when i was lucky enough to chat with nadine for a few minutes, and she couldn't have been more lovely. aren't their prints so beautiful?
i love their organic, painterly quality.

f.o.x.


i've been on a ring kick lately. loving this fox head one from pyrrha. you can also get it with the fox head in bronze.
i think that might be the one for me.
