Furry Friends

Now it's getting to be a little late in the game for this particular accessory...but holy mother of soft and fuzzy, how good do these fur collars look???

It just completely takes it to another level for me:

 Atlantic-Pacific

 J Crew

The Daybook

C'mon, all the cool kids are doing it (c;

So I was pretty ecstatic when I found this little gem on sale yesterday:

Honestly, I have no real plan of how to actually put this in my wardrobe, but by dang, it was going to be mine!

(Isn't that one of the first rules of shopping? If you don't know what you're going to wear it with you shouldn't buy it???)

I didn't care. It had to be mine. IT. HAS. A . BOW!

We'll see if I totally regret it later (c:

So my savvy style peeps, how would you style this particular piece???

Scenes from the weekend...

Recovering okay from that wild Cinco de Mayo?

We're okaaaaaay over here...we're recovering from this stuff:

Drooling over this...

Liking this combo...

Cinco De Mayo...

New breakfast fave thanks to Emily...

It's swimming season!

Lovely options...

How was your weekend? (c: 

Forget the Brass Monkey

I'm all about brass bugs.

That's right, it's not a typo. BUGS.

I found this fun little guy whilst perusing Matchbook Magazine and it was love at first sight:

I just think he's the perfect balance of fun/quirky/gross (c:

But then I was like, how the fetch am I going to find this little guy???

Um, Ebay, DUH!

I promptly found this little dude:

I'm pretty sure they are twins...and get this, its actually a vintage ashtray from Italy. Weird and fun at the same time.

But heck, why stop at brass bugs? There is apparently all sorts of fun things to incorporate the creepy crawlers!

This one is a little too creepy for me...

Fuzzy, snuggle bugs...

What about fashion?

Um, using the term "fashion" loosely:

I mean, if Mischa can do it...

Okay, what about some colorful and toned down art? These are pretty rad:

Even good ol' Anthro is jumping on this movement with these fun wall guys (although at $800 a pop, I'm pretty sure I'd go a different direction!)

So, are you sufficiently creeped out, or ready to go out and find your own fabulous bug buddy? (c:

P.S.

Found this on Kate Spade today, too (c: See the cute lil' bug buddy?

That's Quirky

There are some words that are just flippin' fun to say.

Like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. 

Yes, I totally googled how to spell that stupid word...in case you were wondering. 

And QUIRKY.

I can say that word a billion times and it's still fun (c:

Just like the actually application of being quirky...I just love quirkiness in just about everything!

Quirky sofas....

 Quirky table decor...

Quirky prints...

Quirky fun...

Quirky DIY's...

I even love ironic quirky (I mean, really there isn't anything quirky about a small clutch...unless you write "That's Quirky" on it! Brilliant.)

via What I Wore

And I've been finding all sorts of fun quirky 'round about:

Wouldn't these be darling in a nursery???

Hehe...the spoon is his tail (c:

via

Apparently, I like quirky animal-themed things...

Now I'm not even sure if all of this would even be my cup of tea, but darn it if it isn't just fun...

...AND QUIRKY (c;

And I'm pretty positive if you wanted to pick up something quirky for yourself, you could do it with the $100 Shopbop giveaway that's going on RIGHT NOW!!!

Enter here!!!

Blocked...

I've had a real creativity block lately...have you noticed???

Plus, the little ones got shots yesterday...*FOUR* for *EACH* of them...that equals cranky kiddos and one unhappy mama )c:

But what did cheer me up was another kind of block...

COLOR BLOCKING.

Oh how I love you! Giving permission to peeps everywhere to wear multiple bright colors at the same time!!!

Small dose of neon, if you're looking for it...

What's been on your mind lately???

Dear Fall: I hate you...please come soon!!!

Fall, oh Fall, wherefore art thou, Fall???

Now that all the new lines are coming out, I'm jonesing for fall somethin' fierce.

I didn't know if I could like the whole "paper bag" look (the name is seriously atrocious), but this whole look is giving me my answer: YES.

Hello, sexy secretary look.

J Crew

I've already gushed about this top, but now I'm thinking I need the whole outfit.

J Crew

PERFECTION. The stripes, the high-waisted flares, the blue frickin' shoes.

Anthro

I mean look at how adorable this top is:

Anthro

And then there's the whole "Mad Men" craze. I'm crazed right along with everyone else.

Usually my rule is just accents of animal print...but this trench has me singing a different tune...

Perfect classic tie neck blouse...RAWR.

And Miss Kate always gets it right and I love this entire ensemble, especially the neon necklace (c:

Kate Spade

Classic and comfy...and that color is *divine*...

What are *you* coveting this fine Friday?
