long post of randomness
my favorite trend right now is the big chunky scarf wrapped around the neck several times. this is not only convenient to combat the brutal new england weather, but to add instant style to what i call "the michelin man" layered winter look. the michelin man look is when you decide to forgo looks for practicality, and end up wearing the long black puffy down coat that looks like everyone else's long black puffy down coat. mine has a little oomph, though, because the arms are too big for me, and i look like i've been either pumping major iron or just have fat rolls on my arms. anyway, chunky knit scarves are completely lovely to look at, and keeps your neck and face warm.

i know it's a bit early to be thinking about summer clothes but these sundresses at intermix caught my eye:
imitation denim babydoll dress. $170. i'm seeing this with red cotton mary jane flats...
casual knits nudge my heart. love striped jersey tank dress. $188.
zimmerman pintuck floral dress. $340.
some items on my wishlist:
talla free bird chiffon tunic. on sale for $42. i think tunics are flattering on most body types, and this one is a lot of cute and a lot less hippie.
grey ant sweetheart blouse, but in black. $79.
grey ant highwaist jeans. $209. some might say that high-waisted jeans bring to mind "old lady," but i'm really tired of seeing buttcracks and muffin tops. i'm waiting for a higher rise to come back. chloe made an attempt as seen in the following photo, but i don't think it ever caught on. i have a pair that are very similar; i got them in a manhattan thrift store for $12! but i want another pair in a darker rinse.

vintage high-waisted levi's on charlotte gainsbourg. actually, i love the whole outfit.
when it comes to jewelry i like to keep it pretty simple.
i've been lusting after this for months:
the white one. alisha alderman cherry blossoms necklace. $100
early jewelry long bone necklace. $80.
early jewelry charm necklace. $50.
and lastly, shoes!
who knew banana republic made cute shoes?
'dacey' linen peep-toe linen ballet flat. $78.
from office shoes (all prices are in pounds):
adriana canvas 2 part blue/white stripe. 39.99
suzie t-bar pump silver leather. 54.99
amy low pointy t-bar black patent. 49.99
and from anthropologie, as usual:
big tickle flats. $288.
aperture flats. $118.
tintype flats. $248.
to think, just one year ago i thought anthropologie was an "old lady" store. i was so wrong...

I hear you on the high-waist jeans. I got really excited when Lucky had some in their September issue, but it didn't seem to catch on and I can't drop $350 on them at this point (or probably ever, actually). I was disappointed about this because sometimes I like to have '70s-y days.
I actually don't have any jeans and I hate the ones that are in stores now: stretch and tight and low rise. so unflattering! maybe i'll go to the intermix store where they have those grey ant jeans and try them on. if i love them to death who knows...
my advice to you: scour thrift stores! i see them all the time; the tricky part is finding your size.
Hi.
I too love the tintype flat shoes for anthropologie, but I waited too long to get them!
So I was wondering if you knew who made them...maybe I can find them elsewhere??!
