i am the shadow on the moon at night.filling your dreams to the brim with fright.

Spooky little friends, feathers, pumpkins, tasty brownies, and ghostly selfies, oh my! Another Halloween in the books. So sad to put all the decorations away! Until next year.. It was a lovely one!

kay frank spring 2014

I stumbled across this Brooklyn-based designer and illustrator the other day. I love the minimal yet highly detailed and thoughtful design of her Spring 2014 line. I think my favorite piece is the sheer trowsers; The way the extra-length gathers at the ankle, all billowy and effortless, is just perfect. That Saturns-ring shoulder piece is pretty cool, too. Maybe a little avant-garde, but I would sacrifice limited range of motion to make a kick-a** statement.

50s housewife/bolero/grey hair don't care

jacket: vintage

jeans: free people (nordstrom rack)

wrap worn as skirt: steve madden (tj maxx)

shirt: target

shoes: sam & libby for target

Played in my closet this afternoon. Came up with this make-shift 50s housewife skirt over black skinnies and topped with an embellished bolero ensemble. If only I could go frolic in the city streets, but it's too damn cold! I'm so very ready for these frigid Chicago temps to pack up and get out before I do. Oh, winter...

On another note-Love the wrap from TJ Maxx I got last fall that I'm wearing here as a skirt. It's pretty cozy and also makes the best extra-large, head-turn inhibiting scarf. Comes in handy in this windy city! Function over fashion for now. Sun and warmth will soon prevail!!

Wristwatch by Jaemin Jaeminlee.

"When examining the significance of time, what is truly important is not to know the time of the day it is but to recognize the invaluable significance of each passing moment."

Gravitistic is a watch that expresses the concentration of time. The units of time pointing toward a minute hand are arranged as if they were pulled by the gravity. By utilizing the force of a magnet, the watch performs a role that symbolically delivers the message to remind the meaning of the current hour rather than to tell the exact time of the moment.

I got a little crafty this snowy first day of 2014 with some foil, confetti, pipe cleaners, ribbon, duct tape, tinsel, a hot glue gun, and a little imagination! 

Cheers to a starry new year!
