fpotw (favorite photos of the week)

My three favorite photos taken in the past week of three of my favorite people.. and pooch ;) :: Mom and Eddie :: my niece, Brecken, looking dainty and angelic on the day of her Christening :: my nephew, Jaxen, with an uncanny air of sophistication and seriousness never before caught on camera

And how could I forget this! Just as beautiful as it was delicious. My brother-in-law and Mom are experts at fruit displays among a list of other things :)

Just got these wedges on the cheap about a month ago. I wanted them in the chocolate brown color, but the last pair in my size had a giant scratch.. so black it was. I had been looking for a style like this for a while: pointed toe, some height but still short enough to be comfortable and wear regularly, and of course, a budget-friendly price. (Which they were! 70% off. Woop woop.) I have so many tall boots, so these are a nice addition to diversify my collection.

The hat was also a great find. Only $6! It's been glued to my head lately.... Makes me feel a little rogue-ish.

We found these silky, bedtime inspired shirts recently at Gap. They're like fancy pajamas. 

I wonder if Will and Kate wear matching pjs? Or if Will could pull off a blonde mullet?

I found this psychedelic piece of Missoni magic the other day hidden in the clearance section at Target. It happened to be an online return to the store, but is now mine for 10 whole dollars. Cheers to that! The Austin Powers on a tropical vacation pattern is lively and vibrant, and I plan on wearing it year round.

Speaking of Target, I cannot wait for Jason Wu's line coming in February.. Woo!

odds, ends and inspirations



An attempt at showing what's been on my brain lately::

1.  I've decided I want an old school Polaroid camera for Christmas..

2.  After seeing that advertisement for RVCA a few weeks ago, I want my pink hair back. Ordering the Color Bug by Kevin Murphy=high priority on my list of things to do..

3.  I'm considering actually getting a hairstyle.. maybe something like the second blonde in the first picture with the bangin' bangs..? I feel my hair has no rhyme or reason lately..

4.  I still have yet to wear my silky Missoni for Target shorts..

5.  That glittery silver ribbon is quite possibly going to be turned into a festive head accessory..
6.  In love with this soft leather moto jacket I just got. Paired it with a sheer Rodarte for Target blouse for a dash of juxtaposition..
7.  And what's really been on my mind are all these bowties from House of Papillon. I've become obsessed and have found myself browsing the website an unhealthy amount of times for one day. I want to wear one for Christmas but can't decide if it's worth buying to wear only once..!
