Wedding Gift Idea: Marriage Takes Work Necklace


Here's a cute (and affordable - only $20!) little gift idea from Etsy's Recycled Rings: the Marriage Takes Work necklace, which features a ladder, wrench, and wedding ring charm. Tongue in cheek, but very sweet (and true!).

Fun with Corsages






Etsy designer Charm School Design posted these so-clever-it-hurts photos from a crazy corsage-themed party. Aren't they cool? I wish I were this crafty/creative.

Change of a Dress


How dreamy is this Robins Egg dress from Etsy designer Sarah Seven? I'm in love with the wispy layers of pistachio silk, not to mention the vintage styling. I just might have to snag this for my friend's wedding in June.

Me Want: Sophomore NYC's Spring 09 Collection



I love, love, LOVE Chrissie Miller's soft spring Arizona-esque hues - peach sorbet, a minty blue - for Sophomore NYC's Spring 09 collection. Now if I can just get them to deliver to London...

Girl, Uninterrupted: Kelly Smith's Fashion Illustrations







Yesterday I showed you digital prints of Chloe Sevigny & co. Today, even more lovely "it girl" illustrations have landed on my radar, courtesy of Etsy (of course) boutique KJS Design. Australian illustrator Kelly Smith's work is, in a word, dreamy, taking inspiration from high-end fashion spreads. There's Mary-Kate Olsen looking coy, Erin Wasson in backless Balmain, and other assorted nymphs modeling designer frocks. It's all just so...pretty.

You can learn more about Smith at her professional site, Birdy & Me.

Happy Groundhog Day





Yes, the little twerp saw his shadow and predicted 6 more weeks of winter.

Yes, he's still pretty darn cute.

As are the MisNopalesArt tote and tee and Spread the Love card I found on Etsy. Aren't they the perfect complements to a little Ned Ryerson action?

Shoes, Glorious Shoes




These vibrant, totally impractical heels from Dior's Paris couture show remind me of seahorses and music notes. So pretty, so, so dangerous.

Wishful Thinking: Kick Pleat's 70% Off Sale






One of my favorite Austin boutiques, the forward-thinking Kick Pleat, is knocking up to 70% off select items. Naturally, I had to investigate. Rent's due this week, but here's what I'd buy if I could.

Rachel Comey's Traipse Blouse: This funky optical print would look terrific paired with a black pencil skirt. And hello, it's $90, down from $298.

Hache Strapless Bow Front Dress: Just a sweet, simple dress with comfy pockets. You could have a lot of fun accessorizing this baby. $166, down from $551.

Hache Pony Hair Bag: Marigold has been deemed the "it" color of 2009, and this tote offers up the perfect morsel of the cheery hue. $195, down from $650.

Les Prairies de Paris Les Klax Lizard Flats: I have been lusting after these divine wear-everywhere flats for ages, and now that they're 50% off, I may just have to seal the deal. $204, down from $408.

Blue Jean Baby Queen

I'm slightly obsessed with Street Style blogs, and TurnedOut.tv is helping to feed the flames of my desire. Maya snapped this girl dressed so perfectly simple-chic in a fitted blazer, white boatneck tee, and Baby Houseman-style denim rolled-up shorts. The textured bag and nude heels are also divine. Note to self: Must try harder!

Tank Girl: Chip Chop!'s Le Telephone Tank



After reading about Chip Chop!'s totes today on Refinery 29, I had to check out the goods for myself. And - surprise, surprise - it's not just clever little totes that Australian designer Hannah Chipkin does so well. I love this cheeky, retro-looking tank. So much better than a diamond, methinks.
