what's to come

Just a few goodies I that will be up in the shop later this week.

dunk me & other well suited pieces

I used to set up my parents projector just to watch all the Super 8 footage my great grandmother took on her many trips around the world. From England to Morocco. Japan to Mexico. Mostly she would film gardens and architecture, but I would wait wait wait for the rare moments when she would capture herself or her travel companions.

Needless to say, I love and have always loved viewing any sort of old film clips. So when I was looking for photos of 1950s suits to inspire the suit I have loosely in created in my head, I was uber excited to find this little clip.

The multi-purposed pieces are lovely. Completely utilitarian minus the blandness I tend to find with those types. I must say though, I'm having a terrible time figuring out the obvious reason for the wing ding! Anybody?

Pop in the shop later this week if you like what you see...

dylan & the mop top

For some time now, I've been terribly tempted to chop my hair. Oh and that's not all...chop and perm. Yes. Twice the fright!

It has been a decade since I've permed my mane, and actually before that I think a good decade had passed since my first perm experience. (Which I might add was absolutely horrendous! Perming and cutting it all off in the height of your gawkiness does not make for a happy ending.)

And now the reason for my desire...

Mr. Bob Dylan.


Topped with the fact that Cate Blanchett portrayed him quite nicely in I'm Not There, I have to say I'm inspired.


Wonderfully carefree isn't it? From Rachel-Sarah B.'s flickr collection. I first stumbled upon her lovely do in this photo on Dep's page.


Yet again, gracefully done and oh so feminine. Perfectly spotted on The Sartorialist.
