the snail and the cyclops: los angeles adventures
i love this photo taken off interstate 5 in california. since i’m from southern california and currently live in northern california, it’s an interstate that i know all too well, having done the 7 hour drive to visit family several times a year. it’s a particularly miserable and barren trip, but i love the way she captures the subtle beauty in this photo.

vintage portalen: spring, please come soon.
my mom just recently send me a silk dress with red polka dots very similar to this dress. i absolutely love the way she paired hers with a peach short sleeved cardigan, especially because peach and orange are certainly some of my favorite colors for spring!

fascination drop: break up the children, put them to sleep
i really enjoy this simple, casual ensemble with high rise shorts rolled up at the hem. i’m keeping my eyes peeled in the thrift shops for shorts just like these, since i think they’re the perfect spring staple this year. (warning: when you click on the link, her blog will play music.)

rosemud: goin’ to the country, gunna eat a lotta peaches
more of my favorite color! i absolutely adore this beautiful peach coat, especially paired with baby blue, socks with sandals, and a head wrap. it’s all of my favorite things wrapped up into a beautiful, haunting image.

stay fancy free: particularly merino
one of my favorite etsy sellers just came out with a new hand-knit turban headband. it’s the perfect accessory for this time of year, while it’s still a bit chilly out. and i love the way she styled it with a pretty vintage cape. you can purchase the simcoe turban headband here.

nadinoo: peak behind the scenes part 2
another one of my favorite designers, nadinoo, gave us a few sneak peeks this week into her spring collection. in my opinion, it’s her best collection yet! you can now purchase the first few pieces here. my personal favorite so far is fleur’s petal dress.
