beautiful inspiration: built by wendy

I am such a Built by Wendy fan. Her fall looks are so classic and stunning. I love every single piece, I just can't get enough!

warm and cozy

Looking forward to my big move to Minneapolis next week, I'm thinking a lot about ways to keep warm and cozy. Here are my top picks for the land of 10,000 (frozen) lakes.

• sculptural handmade cloche from yellowfield7
• colossal cables throw from anthropologie
• vintage caramel cardigan from leasvintage
• wicked good slippers from llbean

Frederique Morrel

French designer Frédérique Morrel has created a line of products based upon vintage, recycled needlepoint. Since each piece uses recycled patches, each is completely unique, involving a painstaking search through archival needlepoint stocks. A wonderful modern twist using traditional craft. I am absolutely in love with the poufs!

bow tie obsession

I've been thinking about starting a new collection. I love all the vintage bow ties on etsy with great patterns, colors, and shapes. Here are a few of my favorites.

• hip bow tie from elizabethwrenvintage
  
• 1950s bow ties from rosemarysgardern
  
• pointy black bow tie from putonthatdress
  
• light pink clip on from pudding
