Metapost: Blog’s summer makeover this weekend

Ah, summer is here. I’m wearing my New Idyll Dress ($148) today and impatiently waiting for tomorrow so I can bask in the sun a bit. By night I’ll be working on updating the blog’s skin for summer. The photo above was my color inspiration. Please pardon any downtime this weekend — we’ll be back up and running by Monday.

CURRENT CRAVINGS

Just thought you might like to know about…Modcloth

Untitled by Kwassa on Polyvore.com One of the reasons why I continue to use Polyvore (even when it annoys the heck out of me as it has done lately) is because I love seeing the way other people use the items I have saved in. Take the set above by Kwassa. She uses lots of Anthropologie items in her sets…

Outfits: Notes from the fray

main outfit: 7 + 24 + 22 + 18 + 14For a breakdown of the numbers, please see this post. Sometimes Anthropologie gives their products silly names. The Composition Book Dress ($128) seems right on though. It conjures up my freshman year of high school, when two friends and I passed around a composition notebook and co-authored a fantastical story…

Email: There’s a sale in the cards

Anthropologie’s email today reminds us that they’re having a sale! The online section has a few new additions but regular visitors will likely be disappointed with the same stuff that’s been there for awhile. In stores I’ve had much better luck…it seems like Anthro is marking down items in-store but keeping them full price on the website. Then again, I’ve…

Outfits: Somewhat torn

main outfit: 3 + 9 + 8 + 18 + 15For a breakdown of the numbers, please see this post. Full disclosure: I think ripped jeans are ridiculous. It sounds old and crotchety but who wants to pay for half destroyed jeans? But in a completely hypocritical way I heart J Brand’s Dark Vintage Low Rise Pencil ($187). The wash…

Outfits: A skirt for all seasons

main outfit: 1 + 6 + 13 + 20 + 25For a breakdown of the numbers, please see this post. The Accordion Panel Skirt ($168) is easily my favorite product in the new rollout. I just love the look of it — from the messy impressionist color strokes to the “loopy ruffles” down the front. But unfortunately I will forever…
