Making my list, checking it twice!

PJ by Peter Jensen knit sweater and tiered flannel skirt

I know it seems waaay too early to be thinking about the holidays, but if you are like me, you've already started doing bits and pieces of your holiday shopping, while secretly starting a mental list of all the goodies that you're hoping your loved ones will be buying you come December. Urban Outfitters just sent over their Holiday preview, and I already have added half a dozen more items to my secret wishlist. As many of you know, UO recently launched the Around the World collection, featuring their favorite brands from across the globe, including a few of my Swedish favorites like Dagmar, Rodebjer, and Carin Wester. They will continue to carry these lines through the holidays, and in addition are bringing in Peter Jensen, with a lower-priced line called PJ. Having recently picked up one of the last remaining tees from Peter Jensen's Weekday collaboration while I was in Sweden, I'm super excited to get a hold of Jensen's signature quirky-cute aesthetic again, at the same price-point. Number one on my wishlist? The adorable sweater above, featuring the mug of a giant bunny rabbit.

The Woman Who Fell to Earth

I recently discovered Sally Lapointe at Convent, one of my favorite stores in the L.E.S. We also sell our jewelry at the store, and whenever I visit Travis, I always grab everything within reach (although there isn't much in reach since Travis built the racks for his 6'4 frame!) to try on. When I first saw the Sally Lapointe collection, I immediately fell in love with the strangely textured black memory stretch and printed vinyl jacket, which feels slightly plasticy, yet oddly is extremely comfortable and form fitting. While I missed her show at NYFW, I was emailed some pictures of her Spring collection, which embodies her uniquely futuristic aesthetic. Although you can't really tell from the pictures, I'm guessing that the textiles are as space-aged and cool as the designs themselves. Can't wait to see what winds up at Convent next season, so I can touch it and try it on myself...

Minimal Impact

Jacket and necklace made by my mom, Slow and Steady Wins the Race x Urban Outfitters leather tee, Carin Wester chinos, Dieppa Restrepo patent brogues, Slow and Steady Wins the Race sunglasses, Creatures of Comfort tote.

Pardon my absence around here of late. My internet has been out for the past week (for the second time in the last three months!!!) and I've been only able to grab bits and pieces of it from my iPhone, and from mooching off my neighbor's occasional open wireless network. I've noticed that internet and cell phone service in general seem to be progressively getting worse and worse since I first got a cell phone a decade ago, which I don't understand. I thought technology was supposed to advance along with time, but whatever.

Anyway, I've been really feeling the new minimalism for fall, and last week, I finally treated myself to a pair of Dieppa Restrepo salmon-colored patent brogues at Maryam Nassir Zadeh. They're so well-made, and so comfortable to walk in, I'm already tempted to buy a second pair.
