Stumbled upon these lovelies.
Since the beloved rollie is out of my price range, I’m so tempted to snag one of these…
but the problem is, which color??

the boots

Elaine — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 19:39:27 +0000

Anyone else a fan of these dicker boots? (who am I kidding, of course!) They’ll be available again very soon. I bought the Camel colored pair last year but now lusting over the black! Excessive to have it in more than 1 color? There are so many great alternatives out there but Isabel Marant knows how to make shoes (so well made and VERY comfortable!).

faux wax seals

I’m a big fan of old world charm and have been playing around with the idea of faux wax seals (rubber stamps!).
Here’s a sneak peek of designs to come!

Thank you, Mom

I don’t have any kids of my own yet so here’s a photo of our Bailey when he was just a pup. My Mom is out of the country so we didn’t get to spend time with her today but this weekend I am reminded of childhood memories of her. She has aged so much (especially post-chemo) and it saddens me that the older I get the less time I get to spend with her. I think back to how much I expected her to be perfect in every way when in actuality we are all still children in our own ways… still learning, making mistakes.

The older I get, the more I appreciate her for her strengths and flaws. Being a mother is one of the hardest jobs in the world, I can’t even begin to relate. Thank you, Mom.

pearls have always felt a little too precious to wear on a daily basis but this one has just the right amount of edge. Here are some other favorites by Joomi Lim!
