Cool Enough For You

My dearest Weekend, how I love you. Especially when paired with you, Perfect Cup of Coffee. And you, Spring-time Outfit (being my beloved OAK asymmetric cotton/cashmere cardigan, an overdyed tank from 1/2 Ration, and the ever so fun Kipling's Trousers by jenclaire (which are actually ankle-calf length)). And you, Five Iron Frenzy.

The world makes sense again...

Beauty*2

Well here's something to look forward to. I absolutely love Jenclaire's romantic designs, which showcase the designer's Australian origins. I had the absolute pleasure of owning a Jenclaire dress, but I quite foolishly re-sold it on eBay when I came to terms with the fact that I had outgrown it. I say foolishly because it would fit me perfectly right now, and I would definitely be wearing it right now. Sigh. Anyway, the Jenclaire Etsy shop has been empty for far too long, but now there are signs of life. While these pants are quite a departure from previous Jenclaire designs, I rather love them. Can't say I'd style them with a scarf as a top, though I spose I should never say 'never'...Actually, that gives me a great idea...

Anywho, off to the mountains for a much needed vacation! Really, I'm just excited to get to wear my Polkadore bathing suit (redux) again. Happy weekend everyone!

I am a proud wife

My husband finished 15th out of 31 guys in his first ever mountain bike race! I am so very proud. The race was a lot of fun to watch and it's a gorgeous gorgeous day out. I got a wee bit of scalp burn since I am not a hat-wearing kind of girl, but I shall live. I wish I had Jenclaire's romantic Isadora Duncan dress to wear today, although the bike course was indeed too dusty to wear this beauty out:

I'm also really wanting these Melissa shoes today. I was searching for something close to those Chie Mihara bootie sandals I posted about before (but vegan), and stumbled upon these. Totally digging the modern jellies. Probably in black though. The only gold shoes I've ever owned were my wedding shoes, and I imagine things will stay that way.

And on an unrelated note, is it wrong to like red and purple together? I got these delightful Under the Root 'Jester Blumen' for lounging around the house in, and now I quite like the colour combo. There's just something lovely about a dark, romantic, gothic purple with a vibrant, passionate (and magical?) red...
