i recently stumbled upon rennes and i can't get over just how perfect these bags are...no crazy details or amazing embellishments. just the right shape, size and color for me to grab and go every morning without having to transfer bags and forget my keys/metro card/lip gloss/ etc as i run out the door. gretel (in cobalt blue, above) is my girl.
i'm so into this washed out look. i think it's kind of a nice way to dress in this not quite yet spring but way over winter limbo season. in fact, i'd wear it now with some ankle booties and hat and gloves. i'd also pull it out again in may with chunky sandals and the jacket unzipped. take that.

i know spring is fiiiinally starting to peak its' little head out, but can i please sneak one last sweater in? i'll totally wear it on summer camping trips. promise.

wish i had wendy's building skillz. each piece is pure, weekend-ready, perrrfection.
To put it bluntly, I have bad feet. I can't wear cute, feminine, stylish shoes which is a big bum bum. Luckily for me, clogs are all the rage right now and are like heaven for my foot problem. I found a few pairs, but which ones do I buy?
(first two from Swedish Hasbeens, second two from Cape Clogs)
i've loved joanna newsom for a long, long time- her strange, beautiful music and hippy dippy flower girl fashion...but when did she become so superhot??? also- when did she and my man andy samberg hook up? i thought she was still with my other man, bill callahan. either way, i want to be her.

it seems like an appropriately drizzly day to ask this question of you...
being a seattle girl, i've held off on buying rain boots for most of my life (with one unfortunate cowboy-style mishap 3.5 years ago). but the new york sidewalks are hard enough on my shoes n boots, and i think it's only fair that i give them a break from these rainy days to come. so:
rain booties?
(cuterainboots, $51.99)
or boots?
(loeffler randall, $195)*
*this style is unavailable at the moment but will be re-released in august. worth the wait?
suuuch a lovely saturday! kris was in town from SF and we paid a little visit to the brooklyn flea before she had to catch her flight...
we met this precious pup along the way
my only flea purchase, a gruyere-paprika pretzel with beet-horseradish mayo and dijon mustard
the totally gorgeous interior of 1 hanson, this years indoor brooklyn flea site
speaking of fleas, a friend just introduced me to fleabags, a line of pretty and practical totes made with just my sort of saturday in mind. i'm in love, i reeaallly want that blue one!
i'm a little late to the madewell party, but wow these alexa chung for madewell looks make me want to hop the next manhattan-bound F train to soho. a litle sugar, a little spice!

remember when i gushed about how much i loove rebecca taylor? she's back and i'm in love all over again. each look is perfectly feminine, cool, cozy and weather-ready. i am a huge fan of navy-black combos and that olive trench has been dancing through my dreams....
