The new lookbook for Ruche is gorgeous. It’s ballet themed, and I love the pretty feminine pieces and the gorgeous styling.

Today one of my favorite pairs of tights got a huge hole just above the knee, so fuck this cruel world. I happened to be on an unrelated mission at the Circle Dot Boutique (aka Target, y’all) and they’re having a pretty bomb sale on tights—The cheapo bundled Xhiliration ones are four bucks a pair and Merona tights are all discounted two to three dollars per pair. I’ve got to track down a pair of ribbed evergreen Merona tights in my size, so that I can look like the girl above, except with shorts/skirts and also less hobo-inspired. No hobo.

Girls in Portland are way too cool. I get the sense they dress with very specific themes in mind—Left Bank, Paris, early twentieth-century; Princess Diana, 1983; J. Crew Catalog F/W 1998. Anyway, it makes for fantastic people watching, and I wish I had a nice camera and the balls to start a street style blog, because I’m not sure there’s anywhere else where so many people wear such inventive and fantastic outfits.

This weekend, I saw a girl in a military-inspired jacket over with cute floral tights on. It’s the kind of coat I could never pull off (the look on me would be more Lindsay Weir than hip Portlandian), but I so love it. I think this outfit would be perfect for grabbing dinner with friends before taking a long fall walk.

So in love with these cute floral shorts. They’re for sale, but you know, frugality. Reasonableness. (Sorry, law student pals.) Heft.

I’m lusting after a dress I really can’t afford at the mo. I’m waiting desperately for it to go on sale.

I’m not super into royal watching, but this chart tracking the Queen’s outfits over a year is so fun. I’m a little surprised that she rocks so many bright colors, and doesn’t just stick to boring beige and black. (There’s a Paris Hilton quote that’s stuck with me for so many years: “All the boring New York girls wear black.” I try to stick to colors for the most part, too.)

Bas Kosters’ show at Amsterdam Fashion Week was a ‘love celebration,’ i.e., totally the antithesis to the usual sour-faced models prowling down runways in most fashion shows. And of course, I love it. (I confess, I love style, but I don’t care much for high fashion.)
Love, fuck yeah!

DREAM TIGHTS. It’s enough to make me dread winter a little bit less. (Tangent: Does it boggle your mind just a bit to think that it’s winter now in the southern hemisphere?)

Amazing shot. I love combining a pretty, feminine, wispy piece with a chunky knit sweater or a moto jacket. The dirt on the knees is such a cool touch, too.
