Suede and ribbons.

I found these wonderful boots in my Internet wanderings:

I now want them because they are so gorgeous.

Marimekko!

I am going to deviate from my usual clothing, shoes, accessories, or music posts to say how much I love Marimekko designs!

It started with me seeing these Marimekko bedsheets on the Crate & Barrel website:

Above: Primavera Bed Linens Marimekko

Which made me go crazy because I loved the flower design and the bright green colour. I quickly ordered them and they now are on my bed!

So you can imagine my excitement at finding these postcards on stylefeeder:

I will have to purchase them when I have a little extra money.

And I saw this bedding set:

Which I would also love to own.

Yes, I am liking these designs. I will have to keep my eyes open for more products from this design house in Finland.

Music Post: Like It's 1994....

I was in a major retro music mood today...and indulged it beyond blur. It made me day seem brighter so all was well in my world.

I thougth I would share the songs that made my day fun:


The Happy Mondays: "Step On"


This song always makes me dance around like a fool...or like dancing band member, Baz. You will see him in the video...dancing like a bird who cannot quite get off the ground.

The Stone Roses: "Fool's Gold"


I have always loved The Stone Roses. Great retro sound to their music yet it was modern as well.

Elastica: "Stutter"


I wanted hair like Justine's (the lead singer) and got it 5 years ago. I have since changed my hairstyle but still love the look...and this song.

Pulp: "Common People"


This song just rocks. William Shatner (Yes, that William Shatner.) did a verison of this song that is also good but nothing beats the original.

Suede: "She's In Fashion"


A bit later in release but just as good and always makes me think back to 90s.

The Verve: "Bitter Sweet Symphony"


I could easliy name this my favorite song of all time. And a fitting way to end this blog.

Fashion is music and music is fashion.

I Give This Nicole Ritchie Outfit a Thumbs Up!

Nicole Ritchie is getting bagged for wearing this outfit to the Women In Films Awards:

Above: Nicole Ritchie

Personally, I quite like it. It is evening-like but floral so spring-like. It covers her up decently so you don't focus on how thin she is. Her make-up is great, her hair is perfect for the dress, and I see nothing wrong with the dress.

I like Ritchie's fashion choice for this event.

Tied Up With A Bow.

I am loving the huge asymmetrical bow on this top!

I would love to own it and wear it out to a restuarant with sidewalk seating!

These Boots Are Made For Walking....

These boots:

Are so cool! They would look great with a little black dress, or short skirt, with black tights.

Love the stamped leather which gives them a alligator skin look.

So beautiful!

So Many Gorgeous Shoes!

I was wandering around the Internet tonight and have come across so many beautiful shoes. I just have to share!

These:

Are so gorgeous! They even help me get over my dislike of pink in my wish to own them.

They look even better when teamed with this dress:

Above: Flower print short dress by Marc Jacobs

Just beautiful and I love the site that is selling both the dress and shoes (both made of silk) thought to put them together!

These shoes are also wonderful:

They are like a mixture of 1920s styling with modern. I love the rouching and way the straps are attached! The tan colour of the leather is also beautiful.

The green colour of these shoes:

Make me renew my love of the colour green.

These great bronze shoes:

Are very 1930s in styling with the sculpted heel giving it a modern touch. Wow!

So many great shoes out this season. It makes a shoe-loving woman like me wish I had a huge bank account so I could run out and buy them all!

These Are Just Weird Enough To Intrigue Me.

Yes, I am back from Seattle and got all caught up on my e.mail. Quite the task.

Then I started checking online sites to see what was new on them and I came across these sandals:

Above: Bahia Elastic Sock Thong Sandal by Cocobelle

I know that they are beyond bizarre seeing how they are a thong sandal with attached elastic sock. The thing is, the more I looked at them, the more I liked them. They are just odd but, strangely appealling to me.

They would look great with jeans or knee length pants. They are quite funky and I would definitely buy them if I had the cash and came across them in a store.

Maybe I can find a knock-off version somewhere for cheaper?
