Bunny Ears

drifting on the webwaves this am and stumbled on these lovely rabbit mask images.
(More about my hoarders situations: i collect masks...
picked up a crazy rabbit mask in Tokyo last October, and now mildly obsessed).
Pulled these pics from all over.. did you know there's a "rabbit masks" photo pool on flickr?
Well, consider yourself wisened. (Making words up now).
Anyway, oddly enough had nothing to do with Halloween... whatevers - enjoy!

Sticker Shock...

Was doing my daily blog crawl and stumbled on the work

of Payton Cosell Turner. Blew my little mind.

As somebody whose childhood treat for good behavior
was a pack of stickers*...This just hit me straight in the heart.
*(An obsession which continued through later life with a massive skate sticker collection,
then band stickers,and now, not ashamed to admit - f*cking Post-it's even!!!I need major help) 
From faraway her "wallpaper" looks like baroque or rococo florals..

(the artist on the right)

Then, zoom into that and see the real magic? Do you see do you see???

Also  - her illustrations and illustrated wallpaper are great too. 

Sort-of naive, and kinda reminiscent of the doodles in the covers of Wes Anderson DVD's.

If my walls weren't brick, or already covered with too much stuff (story of my life)... I'd commission her in a heartbeat.

*all photos from thecut and the artist's own website. Links above*

I'll take it...

Ummmmmmm... Take Ivy reissue? Heck yes, I pre-ordered that sh*t...
For anyone who doesn't know, this is THE sartorial inspiration for most of the neo-preppy situation that's been catching bedford ave (et. al) and spreading like wildfire...a fave ref for Sart and ACL's well whatever that guy's name is. Ivy League c. the 1960's?  SWOOOOOOOONNNWORTHY.
For anyone who does know... either you own it already, or you will soon! DO DO DO!


Rather than cull photos from elsewhere, just go here:

It sums it up nicely...

sand between toes...

Dreaming of the upcoming holiday weekend.

Definitely hitting the beach at some point...

The dream weekender contains the following...

granny square item - be it poncho or short-shorts...

the ultimate throwback/coverup... NEED.

this Paul Smith F/W10 dress - a definite maybe.

a little closer to the truth - 

i may be hitting the pattern book on my commute. 

Baja - (aka drug rug)

i keep seeing images from the recent Proenza resort collection.

!!!

even the shorts would do...

(in times of need, a visit to the "native art" mall
cart just might suffice... )

Cowboy boots - 

lucky for me and my shoe closet i already own these. 

How great are boots in the sand? Terrible..
but they get broken in so good that it's worth it.

Beach Blanket - i get a new one every year.. a couple years ago
it was an old sarong with a huge Hawaiian floral... this year's
obsession - steven alan striped beach blankets...
A mix between kitchen towel and heaven. NEED x 10 of them.

Add to all that the perfect pair of cutoffs.

and an amazing swimsuit... 

*the boyf/f snagged me this amazeballs Jcrew x Liberty

swimsuit at a sample sale yesterday!!! I could've died.

*aside from the shiteous boots photo, none of these are mine!*

...lately i've taken to wearing flowers in my hair

really feeling the hippy thing right now...
i mean-- the tan sweater dress 2nd from the bottom - i need you in my life!
Images mostly from Time/Life photo archives-Woodstock, then flickr, Irving Penn,some amazing Czech photographer i forgot to bookmark *in no particular order of course...The girl w/flower garland headband is actually c.1996/czech youth pilgrimage thing. Gorgeous.

Just an interloper in this decade...

Summer makes me sweat patchwork so hard.
shoulda been born into the 60's/70's..
graphic florals and suede suede suede...

*First img is actually Hayden Harnett, somewhat current...
others - google img search and random blogs that i'd love to credit if i could only remember.

Denim Crimes... Never Forget.

Seen a lot of double denim (and triple denim, etc. etc.)... can't bring myself to do it.
That's a personal choice, of course... but people lest we forget...

it's frickin freezing over here....

 ...recent cold front has me thinking 'bout early beach season...
thinking more about beach sweaters to be precise...
dunno when i'll make it out LI-ways... but hopefully soon.


Marilyn photos by George Barris... yanked from the www. some chick in a sweater - thanks, flickr image search "beach sweater"...

Aran sweaters and rock and roll...

Work research has led me to a new obsession with aran sweaters... scored a fab one for $3 in a Wyoming charity shop...
a little scouring the wuh wuh wuh and turned up some great shots...
think this may have to be an ongoing search...
