Goodwill I love you

Went to my local Goodwill shop yesterday and was so happy to find a couple great things. I finally found a (cheap) pair of cutoffs and several interesting books - including the New Moosewood Cookbook, a lovely sight for a new vegetarian like me! And everything was so reasonably priced I didn't even feel bad when I looked at the total on my receipt, which means more thrift store trips in the future! I know there are a ton of good ones in the Bay Area and plan on doing some reconaissance trips soon.

Similar to my new cutoffs. Hopefully it will soon be warm enough to wear them!

Yay for Moosewood!

In honor of the recent cold, rainy weather (what's up with that!it's supposed to almost be summer!) I'd like to channel Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina (the scene where she tells Humphrey Bogart she'll make a souffle out of crackers) with these cropped pants, flats, and button-up.

In honor of National Bike to Work Day 5/13

May 13 is National Bike to Work Day. I have a bike, but no work, but that won't stop me from getting my old cruiser out of the garage today!

Singles - Bridget Fonda/Janet Livermore

Really loving Bridget Fonda's style in Cameron Crowe's Singles, especially the hats (Matt Dillon's hair, not so much...).

Trouve

Great new line at Nordstrom - Trouve (insert pun about "finding" great new pieces, haha thank you French degree)
It seems to be lots of simple, unfussy pieces that make great basics.
Check it out!

Rope bracelets

As much as I love the handmade friendship bracelet I've been sporting for 4 months, I'm thinking about upgrading a woven rope bracelet. Here are some cute options.


Silentmint's handwoven bracelet, on Etsy. So pretty with that slim flash of silver.



J. Crew kids nautical-inspired bracelet (and on sale too!)

Mother's Day and their icon-worthy status

Moms are awesome and the ultimate style icons. So, Urban Outfitters' Orginal Icon contest is only fitting. Here's a link to the winners of the contest!
