Music Mondays @ UO

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:01:06 +0000

I’ve been listening to the same music over and over again for the last couple of weeks. As much as I enjoy my current rotation (Amelie soundtrack, Wizard of Oz soundtrack, Louis Prima, and Django Reinhardt), it's getting a little old, so I'm open to change.

Did you know about UO's Music Mondays? Well, every Monday, UO has five fresh songs available for listening or download. I didn’t think I would enjoy these tunes very much, but I really liked them, especially the first two, which are reminiscent of Arcade Fire. You can sample them now by hitting the play button below. Hooray for good (and free) music!

On a different note, I want to give you a heads up about my schedule: due to my involvement in some fun projects, my posts will be fairly sporadic for the next few weeks. Regular posting will commence soon enough, though.

FYI: I will host yet another very random and short-lived Just Because Giveaway some time next week. No Lula this time, but I promise that it'll be prize-worthy.

Creature Comforts Blog Makeover

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:45:46 +0000

One of my favorite style blogs of all time, Creature Comforts, just got a fabulous new look. The last time I felt excited about a blog's transformation was after Decor8's move to Wordpress, resulting in a rigorous Puglyfeet.com style overhaul. Puglyfeet ♥ Creature Comforts.

Wicked by Gregory Maguire

I have my heart set on reading this book, post homework. I'm so excited!

I've seen other paperback versions, but I like this design the most.

Taco, curious as always.

Wardrobe Remix: 10/28/09

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:27:50 +0000

Today's post is really special, at least to me, anyway. I love what I'm wearing and I think it may be my most favorite outfit yet, so much so that I'm seriously thinking about wearing it again tomorrow.

I call this my Cath Kidson-y jacket from H&M because of the vintage-inspired floral print. I wore it on top of my striped Old Navy sweater and voila -- my favorite outfit of all time! It's a marriage between Cath Kidston and Beetlejuice and I love it. :D

Taco in this photo voluntarily. :)

What I'm wearing today:

top - Old Navy
jacket - H&M
pants - The Gap
shoes - Munro
hat - thrifted from Crossroads (San Diego Hat Co.)

Wardrobe Remix: 10/27/09

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:22:58 +0000

It's been a long time since I've done one of these. Though I'm not wearing anything particularly noteworthy, I like this shot, taken during a coffee break on Pierce St. this afternoon.

My lovely granpa outfit:

top - I heart my nerd t-shirt from Noise Bot.
checkered pants - The Gap
sweater - I don't know, tag fell off.
shoes - my FAVORITE, Proper by Earth
hat - thrifted from Crossroads (San Diego Hat Co.)

More photos I took:

I really like that owl.

creepy, jolly buddha

I have a thing for red doors.

This block reminds me of Sex and the City.

Noteworthy: The Natural History of Birds

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:47:05 +0000

My husband and I visited Flax at SOMA last week. We always have a great time at Flax and this last visit was no exception. They sell art supplies galore! I always find myself happily lost in their great paper department. I could seriously spend the whole day at Flax admiring everything. We love that place so much.

Anyhow, Doug bought a few pens and markers, and I came home with a lovely pocket-sized, bird-inspired notebook by Cavallini. Unlike other stationery that I buy just to look at, I have great plans for this one. :)

Wall Decor Update

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:06:58 +0000

I bought 4 things from a garage sale yesterday. Can you tell which ones?

pineapple flowers

OK, the vintage rose hat is certainly not wall decor, but it is from the same garage sale. And, since it's too small for me, I've turned it into room decor, or rather, a new lovely hat for the lamp. An improvement, no?

Amanda Atkins sent me a print from her shop -- the same print I used in my Colour Lover post from September 14. Your Secrets Felt Like Velvet graces over my craft table and I love it. Thank you, Amanda. :)

Beloved Brown Oxfords

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 06:25:20 +0000

I love packages. These beautiful brown oxfords arrived from Naturalizer the other day. This particular style is called Carreno, in Coffee Bean. They fit perfectly and comfortably and I can't wait for the weather to get cooler so that I can wear them with my many many tights of various colors. More of those pictures to come! For now, following are some photos of my new beloved brown oxfords. Thank you, Naturalizer. :)

Pugs not drugs,
