end of the week jumble...


  • definitely going to use these design*sponge city guides next time I travel...unfortunately they don't have one for Palo Alto yet!
  • Architect Barbie...one of the most hilarious things I've seen in a long time. My favorite part is the mini-mini dream house...it's like a model of a model!
  • if I owned my own place I would cover some of the walls with lovely ferm LIVING wallpaper...I'm trying to find a piece of furniture that I can use this on...

fashion in film: rear window



I was opposed to watching any films made before 1980 until a few months ago when I realized that the classics are chock full of stunning fashion and architecture. Not only can I fill in references that I've been missing my whole life, but now I can understand more about the history of fashion by watching these films. So far the fashion has been so amazing that I can barely even pay attention to the storyline...I just want to pause the movie to zoom in different pieces.

Last weekend I watched Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window and am obsessed with everything Grace Kelly wore...even though it was maybe only a total of five outfits (I embarrassingly have to admit that this is my first Grace Kelly movie).

I love the tiny briefcase-inspired handbag (see above) that poufs up with flouncy lingerie when she pops it open, the below-the-knee full skirts that have become completely modern and fashionable again, and the pearl charm bracelet that I would just love to see up close to see what those chunky charms are.

Here's my modern take on Grace Kelly in Rear Window...

ports 1961 wedges?






In my hunt for the best pair of spring platforms, I spotted these in a Ports 1961 ad in my recent Elle. I didn't even know Ports 1961 made shoes, but now I am determined to find these...


Here's a shot of what have got to be the same shoes as those in the ad from a spring 2011 runway show...must find them!

my favorite spring platforms...

Last summer I searched everywhere for a simple pair of wide strap platform wedge sandals...you really wouldn't think that it would be that hard to find...there's just so stylish and flattering and comfortable! But I couldn't find what I envisioned anywhere. Very frustrating.

But lucky for me, the platform wide strap sandal is popping up everywhere this season! I was ecstatic to spot the negative space wedges at Anthropologie, but now I'm spotting similarly lovely styles everywhere...

Now I just have to decide which design I like best...so many amazing variations...

bloggers at fashion week...


The runway images from Fashion Week totally overwhelm me (I'll just flip through the slideshows of my favorite designers when it's all over), so I'm sharing my favorite photo from the week...
