Do Up Your Laces

I feel like Ricky Bobby sometimes in front of the camera; what to do with my hands? I usually end up awkwardly grasping something like a piece of fabric or hair haha. Anyway...the magical dream sale corset-back pansy-print trench coat makes it's second appearance, not because I don't love it enough to wear it all the time, but because I love it so much I'm afraid to use it, like a fragile collector's item. My equivalent of a Faberge egg came from Anthropologie, the skirt I made myself, the top, bracelet and tights are from Forever 21, and lace up boots from Wet Seal.

Stuff I Luff

1. Bare legged outfits by Sincerely Jules, All The Pretty Birds and A Fine Day For Sailing make me wish I wasn't such a weather wimp - it's not really winter in Santa Cruz, but I still need tights and more layers to be comfy.

2. The simplest, coolest diy collar evah - hardware store goodies and glue or clear thread.

3. I'm about halfway though Just Kids by Patti Smith and I don't want to put it down, hardly even long enough to make this collage and recommend it to you

4. I recently picked up some apricot gelato at Shopper's Corner and am in food heaven! I hope to find a place and unearth my ice cream maker by summertime.
