I wear stripes a lot. I layer a lot. And I’m a lot tired of wearing big warm coats and my boring little boys North Face jacket over my cute stripey layers. The sun needs to come out today.

This last photo is of me in an original vintage Van Halen tour jacket. I’m not going to tell that story because the picture is just strange enough.
Purple People by Tori Amos
well hey do you do judo when they surround you
a little mental yoga will they disappear
it’s grim but never dubious as motives go
no matter what it takes she promises a show
thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me
i watch me be this other thing, i never know
if i’m marooned or where the purple people go
then lily white matricide from vicious words
it doesn’t leave a scratch so therefore no one’s hurt
thunder wishes it could be the show
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you, for me
and on and on the nurses make it clear
just when you escape you have yourself to fear
a restaurant that never has to close
breakfast every hour it could save the world
so hey do you do judo in your finery
an angel’s face is tricky to wear constantly
thunder wishes it could be the snow
wishes it could be as loved as she can be
these gifts are here for her, for you for me
la…hey yeah for her for her..mmmhmmm..
Wearing: Prairie Underground coat, Black Milk blue galaxy leggings, boots from Urban Outfitters and cute little long snuggly gloves from my sis-in-law.
So, I like these pants. Not everyone likes these pants but I like these pants. They are sheer black lace with little shorts built in from Urban Outfitters. I’m wearing them here layered with black JCrew tights underneath for modesty. 😉 Sweater is also from JCrew, boots are Aerosole and striped top under the sweater is from Target.
My new iphone 4S photos are making me swoon. I’m thrilled to be able to get so close with this clarity. So, I’m wearing a little boy’s sweater from Target, old AG jeans, rubber biker boots from Urban Outfitters, bangles from India and Jcrew crew cuts glitter necktie.
These bracelets have quickly become a favorite. I bought them from my friend, Julie’s trunk sale that she hosted last December. Her very good friend of many years travels to India and buys directly from artists and explained in detail how they’re made and how fragile they are. I love them and I love knowing where they came from and who they traveled with to end up on my arm.
I am in love with these lace pants from Urban Outfitters. I went out on a limb and bought them online, on sale and in two colors! They are comfortable and so fun to wear.
White tank, sweatshirt from a Doe sample sale, Urban Outfitters pants & scarf, Crewcuts gloves and black Aerosole boots.
Wearing: Tarina Tarantino blue butterfly necklace, striped t from Target, thrifted tunic dress from Idom (found at Crossroads on Hawthorne in Portland), pink tights from Target, pothole tights from Hidden Treasures (Topanga Canyon) and boots from Urban Outfitters.
Wearing: sweater & skirt from Target little girls range, socks found at Sock Dreams, Urban Outfitters boots, green tote from One Lucky Duck, Marc by Marc Jacobs thermal undershirt, Tarina Tarantino black heart necklace and my favorite charm necklace that has my heart penny from Chef Ito, my Herbivore logo and a charm that reads gratitude on one side and abundance on the other.
JCrew sweater, Prairie Underground pants and the same Urban Outfitters rubber biker boots!

My mother in law is so very generous and has bought me some beautiful things from Hidden Treasures in Topanga Canyon, California. She brought me the dress below when she visited on Easter weekend. I costumed it up quite a bit on the first wear but I think I'll do something cleaner and more simple next time I wear it. It was really cold outside!
Wearing:
Hidden Treasures dress
Rodarte for Target faux fur shrug
Urban Outfitters black thermal top
Jcrew blue fabric flower belt
Anthropologie floral necklace
Forever 21 black boots

Birthday plans for Thursday February 12. May have to do some of this on Valentine's Day cause the list is too long!
*Pie – to look at vegan footwear.
*Sephora – to smell perfumes.
*Blossoming Lotus – to eat raw vegan food.
*Yummy Tummy – for more raw vegan food.
*Free People – to try on pretty clothes in their equally pretty dressing rooms.
*Seaplane – cause it's next to Free People. Clothes are really expensive here but handmade and gorgeous to admire.
*Anthropologie – love it and I've got a gift card. Thanks Toni and Michael!
*Urban Outfitters – I love their new heart shaped mixing bowls.
*boot camp at the gym – cause I like to sweat and it's my birthday.
*Stella McCartney for Adidas – oh, yeah there's no where to buy it in Portland. blech.
*Lululemon – love this store too. Best pants and jackets to work out in even if their design turnover is way too fast for my taste.
*Yoga class – a nice way to start the day. If I don't go to a class I'll at least spend some time when I wake up doing sun salutations and more.
*Laurelhurst Park – for a walk if it's not too cold.
*Sock Dreams – duh!
*Xtabay – because it's fun to look.
