Vintage Mint

I’m an admiring fan of Joanna’s vases + creatures and now she has these new squirrel vases for sale on her etsy store, pretty random objects. Too cute! These would look adorable in a child’s room, or even on a fireplace mantel for the holiday season {especially with those berry branches!}.

Perfectly feminine outfit from an equally beautiful Melbourne girl. I love everything she’s wearing {even the yellow skirt, a color which I usually cannot stand}. Of course it’s spring time down-under, so can’t really wear this in the northern hemisphere right now…well maybe with a cashmere cardigan, scarf, and some black opaque tights.

There’s something so enjoyable about wearing wooly + warm sweaters, cardigans, and socks during the autumn and winter months… Cleaning said woolen garments? Not so fun. Even taking them to the cleaners can add up, not to mention the harsh chemicals {plus the funky not-natural fumes}. In comes Soak, a rinse-free liquid soap delicate enough for lingerie {!}, quilts {Amy Butler designed the limited fragerance, Sola}, knits, and even pets! I am all for anything that makes doing the laundry a tad more interesting {all whilst being environmentally friendly}!

Funny Gap ‘08 holiday ads; featuring some of the cast members of SNL and a loose Jon Hamm. Kind of similar to last year’s holiday ads with Will Arnett and Amy Poehler.

{Will Forte is hilarious…}

{Cute couple!}

Cute T-shirt for the snarky-politically-forward friend, or the can’t-get-enough political news junkie husband in your life…

Enjoy the chilly November weekend!

Praise the Target gods — the Alexander McQueen will be working with Target! Not part of the GO International line however, but part of a “Designer Collaborations” line… perhaps similar to the deal Target made with Mizrahi? One can dream.

*Update: The diffused McQ line will be available between March 1 and April 11, 2009. {Only 6 weeks!! So bittersweet!}

Yay! New images of the Thakoon for Target’s GO International line! I like what I see so far, just wish it wasn’t so resort/summer driven; especially since the clothes debut in mid-December. But I’m sure my wallet will find a way to buy a few pieces nonetheless…

{Loving the pattern mixing + layering}

What a simple + cute Autumnal craft: a leaf mobile! {Instructions, here.} This would be a pretty minimalist {and easy DIY} Thanksgiving decoration…in case turkey and cornucopia themes weren’t your thing.

{Still cute, even if it resembles something your 1st grader would bring home}

Check out Charlotte Ronson’s new line for JCPenney. {She also has her Play by CRonson line at Urban.} Cool designer clothes at more affordable price points. Love the colors, stripes, and layered sweaters… Not bad, right? {Even though cheaper + faster fashion = not so great for the environment…}
