this ilk

Okay, I admit that sometimes I just want a little “bedazzle” on my simple tops or a very subtle dress when I go out, and I found these perfect accessories from This Ilk. Cute, right?

arturo rios

This famous young hat/headpiece designer Arturo Rios has his high-fashion coutour/avant garde hats worn by celebrities, and they have also been featured in many fashion magazines.

→ Visit his shop on Etsy here.

I usually like simple and subtle things, but when it comes to these avant garde hats, I’m thinking…the crazier, the better! I don’t know where I would have the chance to adorn one of these hats, though.

Check out his over-the-top collection too, where you’ll see presents and ice cream cones on your head. Okay, those might be TOO crazy for me. But…I wouldn’t mind wearing them to a costume party!

new items & a skirt

{Dream of pastels. Check out the new clips + headbands today in the shop.}

And I tried making a second skirt last week. So far, it’s been a skirt/year…but I want to change that. The final result was better than my first attempt in terms of execution, but I know it still needs a lot more tweaking and practice to look perfect/polished.

Here are the sneak peeks (look familiar..?):

free people

I’m a big fan of the clothes + accessories + styling from Free People {of Urban Outfitters, Inc.}. Their site is so pretty + fun to browse through.

Oh, and you can also enter to win your wishlist! How cool is that?

Definitely love Free People’s fashion style just as much as Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. :-)

retro eyewear

I have a tiny obsession for glasses, and these ones from Retro Eyewear caught my eye. Too bad (sorta) I won’t need prescription glasses anymore, otherwise I would snatch one of these up.

Oh, and what a long weekend it was. We had a busy, out-and-about 3+ days consisting of a night out with friends, apartment hunting, Bumbershoot {saw a great McSweeney program featuring Eli Horowitz and charming Mac Barnett, authors of Clock Without a Face}, and visiting our parents.
