New Ash sandal booties from Gilt.

I just got these Ash Opium Ankle Zip Sandals in the mail! I got them for a heck of a deal on Gilt.com, which made me a very happy girl. They arrived promptly, which is another plus to shopping with Gilt and they are quality shoes. SO comfortable, too!--I'll definitely be purchasing more Ash shoes.

They are my answer to these coveted Margielas... :)

Rodarte for Target.

Rodarte for Target is definitely my favorite Target designer collaboration for some time now. I've been disappointed with a lot of the previous collections, but wanted quite a few things from this one!

I ended up buying the Crepe Lace Print Dress and the Swiss Dot Dress, and I'm suuuuper happy with both of them!

Late Christmas gift: Fashionary.

Ahhhh! I have been wanting this for awhile now. It was on my Christmas list and just came in the mail as was the best surprise ever! I still don't know which fabulous friend of mine sent it though! Whoever it was, thank you thank you! :)

Be sure to check out Fashionary!

Tie your shoes..

Another from LookBook.nu. That's it--I looove this kid. And the shoelaces. Love. 

What a great idea. I reckon there's tons you can do with shoelaces. Hmmmmm.. maybe it'll be a big new trend and then they'll be selling walls of shoelaces at Urban Outfitters, no doubt! I remember when I was a kid there were shoe lace ribbony hair clips that were pretty rad.  

I actually do enjoy the whole first outfit--I would certainly wear it. I think I need to look into getting some mens pants and wearing them high waisted. Yes!

LOOKBOOK.nu To Do: Make these pants.

LOOKBOOK.nu is my new fashion blog of choice.  It's v old-school Livejournal with it's password-protected exclusivity and whatnot, but the updates are still hit 'n miss.  The vanity-loving high school fashionistas from Europe are most enjoyable, if not slightly intimidating! 

Noortje Kooijman is super cute and has a fun, fresh look. And our fave 16-year-old fashion blogger Jane Aldridge (Sea of Shoes) has been known to post the occasional update, as well. 

Sooo all that done and said--I'm trying to get more into pants now!  If you know me, you know that I wear pants.. maybe 4 times a year? And jeans maybe once a year.  No joke. It's just not my thing, but I'm really starting to dig cooler pant designs--harems, high-waisted, high-waisted harems.. Ooo, and I abs love love love the pants above.  I'm going to try making a pair as one of my summer projects.  Tres exciting. 

New dress new dress new dress.

New dress new dress new dress! By Twinkle by wenlan. LOVE. Now.. where to wear it to.. ?

Pretty netting, San Jose, CA.

I kept trying to get a photo of this girl's tights! Her outfit overall was, well, not my style, but I just loooooooved her tights. You can hardly even see the detailing that well in this photo, but they were a scalloped design and were just so lovely! I find that a lot of "net" tights that aren't fishnet, just are too much or too weird or too something. These were great though--must find a pair! :) 

Factory Girl, The Mission, SF.

My friend Hurst came by to check out the Minnie Wilde backstock fabric. He's going to buy some and I'm excited to get some, too!

Cutting machine. We LOVE. This is what it's all about. We love Larry, the wonderful factory owner! 

Factory. They don't do laser cutting yet, but they are still awesome. 

Elie Olson / Minnie Wilde, The Mission, SF.

So I work here now! Yaaaay. Designer, Terri, has two lines--Elie Olson and Minnie Wilde. Check out our website! 

Super cute store. We loooove. 

P.S. Sorry for all of the catch-up posting, but things have been kind of crazy--good crazy! ;) 

Re-worked dress for my Easter brunch.

Before.

I decided to go simple and add some ribbon trim to give it a cute 50's twist. 

Detail.

And in action--playing hostess! I'm really happy with it. :)
