farpitzs.
fyi: farpitzs means "all dressed up" in yiddish.
retailer mytheresa.com has teamed up with oliver peoples on a line of sunglasses. the pairing is clever and the styles cute, but an additional point of interest is that the brands hired the help of some bloggers to act as models; the lookbook was also photographed by one, melanie galea of the street muse, during sydney fashion week.
why, yes, i do want to look like a picnic table this summer; there is something so retro-chic about gingham and i have it planted firmly in my brain for the upcoming season.

i feel like taking this moment to highlight katherine kwei and the gorgeous designs she created for fall 2013. i feel pretentious writing this, but it has truly been such a pleasure watching her develop over the years that we’ve been acquainted.
the bing bang sale never fails to disappoint and gives fans of the tough-yet-cute jewelry line up to 75% off a multitude of styles. if you’re in the area, you should stop by.
some people tend to believe that leather is not a warm weather fabric. i can kind see where they are coming from (see: also), but add a little laser action into it and there is instant breathability, don’t you think? all those holes? i haven’t had coffee yet.

from what i’ve gathered by looking at zara’s may lookbook, you are going to need a tide to-go pen and avoid red wine for the entirety of summer. good luck, friends.
i don’t refer much to having lost twenty lbs since october as it shouldn’t be important to anyone but me, but since i’ve hit a plateau, i’ve had fitness on the brain.
since this is my blog (and, technically, a personal one), it is something to mention. i don’t have concrete plans to integrate “lifestyle” or “healthy living” content into the usual here, but activewear has admittedly played a part in keeping me motivated because dammit, i want to look cute, even if — especially if — i’m sweating my tush off.
i doubt i need to tell you that grace coddington is a goddess because you probably already know, but i couldn’t let the news slide that she had illustrated cat portraits for vogue.com in celebration of the met ball. the chic felines (wearing margiela, versace, and saint laurent) also look eerily similar to coddington’s own furry friend, pumpkin.
it is pretty clear that opening ceremony wants me to go bankrupt. i mean, why else would they design such covetable bags for spring? you’re stumped, i know.
admittedly, $50 for a pair of new overalls is a bit of a reach, so i’d initially suggest you stop by your nearest thrift/consignment shop. see below for two additional styles.
