BEHIND THE WHEEL/clover canyon wheels tee

It's been pretty hard to convince myself to take off my new Clover Canyon tee.  I've worn it about 3 times already and I only bought it last week!  Why on earth did I only get one piece?!  These prints are just too good!  And a collection of these Clover Canyon pieces would be divine...as you could layer print on print on print!  Yeah, that's right...can you see it???  I can.  

Jerrmaner and I are taking a little trip to LA this weekend for the Urs Fischer exhibit at the MOCA...I'm pretty sure you can guess what I will be packing. 

Check out Jerrmaner's look: SEE/homme

HOODED VOID/demobaza hooded jersey cardigan sweater

I have to give Jerrmaner credit for this one.  He was the one that introduced me to the amazing Demobaza...and now I'm hooked.  The innovative pattern making and futuristic feel makes for a completely unique design aesthetic.  

The clothing reminds me of Katie Gallagher, who is another favorite designer of mine.  She also takes an innovative approach to pattern making, which ultimately results in something very special that you will never find anywhere else.

Today was a horrifying day.  In the midst of my Sunday cleaning, I found a dead black widow outside my back door.  I was totally panicked!  Even though it was dead, I was horrified by the fact that it was here at my house.

I tried to act normal for the rest of the day, but it was hard.  I am so afraid of spiders and I felt emotionally scarred from my encounter.  I decided the only way to cheer myself up was to wear some sequins.  Now what girl doesn't get a little giddy when wearing sequins???  There's just nothing like it; feeling a bit of glitz and glamour with just a little help from some synthetic, reflective discs.  I put on a vintage sequin top I bought years ago and I felt better immediately.  

The moral of the story?  Never underestimate the power of sequins in fashion...even if you do just wear them for a day of running errands.

PETER PAN/metal collar necklace

I became obsessed with these collar necklaces while in Paris.  I saw so many of them on the streets, but yet I couldn't find one to purchase.  Lucky for me, I was able to find one at H&M last week and now (as expected), it is my new favorite accessory. 

Sure, I could have just ordered the Louis Vuitton metal collar, but I figured I should get my fix with a less expensive version...at least to start.  Taking baby steps is a sign of maturity. :)

Jerrmaner and I decided to check out the Denver Botanic Gardens.  I, of course, wanted to wear something floral and decided upon this amazing Boutique U&I duster that I purchased in Montreal.  

It started to rain as soon as we arrived at the gardens.  Kind of made for a cool vibe while shooting pics.  I actually love the rain and despise umbrellas...I figure that I am completely waterproof, but I don't have the same nonchalant attitude towards the umbrella.  Have you ever noticed how careless people are with umbrellas?  One of my ultimate fears is to be stabbed in the eye with the little tips of the umbrella during a rainstorm...umbrellas turn into weapons when absent-minded people are added to the equation.

THANK YOU, COME AGAIN/cast of vices thank you leather bag

Well...I'm in love.  This time with a perfectly clever item from Cast of Vices.  Yep, a purse that is modeled after a plastic shopping bag...does it get any better??  I saw this bag while in New York at Oak and it haunted me for days.  I was quick to place an order as soon as I returned to Denver.  I love cheeky little garments such as these; and the Thank You Leather Bag is a not only cheeky, but also incredibly high quality.  The luscious lambskin that says "THANK YOU" has perfect detailing such as fine print and the oh so adorable cut-outs on the handles.  Also comes in "I HEART NY."
