Oh Snap! How to get shot by The Sartorialist

This was too hilarious not to re-post.  Fake info-graphics are so fun sometimes.  I love Scott Schuman as much as the next jealous hipster, but this is so spot-on.  Kudos to Refinery 29 for this awesomeness.

Sunshine & Shadow: Spring 2010

It seems that just about every blogger out there loves Sunshine & Shadow…  I am no exception.  Though I’m not about to race out and rock socks with wedges, I absolutely love the Spring collection, including the necklaces (which remind me a lot of Manu).

Some fun gifty things

This is a small collection of things that would make cool presents- some are limited edition, some are vintage.  I’ve also included a photo of my triangle necklaces because I do still have more of the vintage triangles left.  Sorry this is late in coming… I’m not too great with the whole gift guide thing, but here goes!

Slasher

This badass-yet-feminine slashed up dress by Anne Sophie Back is so awesome.  Love these I.D. Tuttle boots too.  Both at Stand Up Comedy.

Osborn Design Studio

LOVE these unisex fair-trade shoes designed by Osborn Design Studio, and made in Guatemala City.  I can’t believe I haven’t seen these until today.  These floral booties on top are my personal faves. Check out their site for more awesome fabrics.

New used oxfords

Just found these yesterday at a local thrift store- I’m oxford crazy, I tell you!  I was charmed by the burgundy suede.

They are called “Aqua Skips” – suede, yet supposedly also waterproof?!  I will put this to the test.

Etsy pick: Pidge Pidge scarves

There really is something so awesome about hand-loomed scarves and blankets.

Recent Purchase: House of Harlow ring

I bought this at Revolve after a week or two of thinking about it, with a discount code found here.  Totally awesome.  I’d just like to say say that not all celebrity clothing/accessory lines are overrated- they key is pairing up with people who know what they’re doing.

Etsy picks: Studded mocs and booties

I love these slip-ons (though I wish they didn’t have a driving sole)!  The booties are awesome too. You can even send Alyssa your own brand new boots and have them customized with the design of your choice.
