Emily @ Scanlan & Theodore

Wish I understood how to carry off "jeans and a tee" with such grace and ease...



...though I guess having a pair of those Surface to Air sandals to throw into the mix would probably help my case!

Also, is it killing anyone else that Garance is in Australia right now? Want to go there. SO. BAD. Even if it is practically winter there already...southern hemisphere mind-fuck!

My Big Backyard

A handful of beautiful photos from the obsession-worthy Backyard Bill.

I'm bustin' outta here!

Ok, so I've essentially been stuck inside, eating mush and zoning out for the last two and a half days. Today my face is still a bit swollen (but in a manner I have out of necessity deemed both societally acceptable and totally adorable) and my muscles may be minorly atrophied, but damn it all if I'm not gonna get outside!

I had an epic Etsy sandal round-up in the works (being stuck in bed does NOT mean that one cannot go fantasy internet shopping, oh modern world!), but that'll have to wait till later...

Peace!

I've Been Style Filed

(Another thing that makes me happy...a sweet '70's hairstache!)

The amazing Stevie over on Discotheque Confusion just put up a super fun Q&A with your's truly. Go check it out, while I go get a tooth yanked...

Thanks again Stevie!!

Chère madame

I love this girl's blouse (and the blog this shot came from.)

She also reminds me how much I want some new glasses frames. I wanted half frames but then Alex had to go and show me up...oh well, at least I get to see his handsome bespectacled face every day.

Facehaunted

Last night we went to a silly bar near Williamsburg. There was this girl there in a fun little dress and I think I weirded her out because I kept staring at her awesome shoes. Then she left and that was that. But who should I find posted on the Facehunter this morning?


Little miss herself. Damn you, Yvan! We were so close. Her shoes are pretty sweet though, eh?

The Swedish Thing

Inspired by this post from The Vintage Society, I've been spending quite sometime browsing TheModerniteter. Those Swedes have some serious style.


But the fun doesn't stop there! After scanning the comments section on a couple of posts (none of which I can read, of course, since it's all in Swedish, and pasting them into an online translation site yielded quite the grammatical riddle), I noticed that many posters added a link to their own personal blog at the bottom of their reply. After browsing through these endless links, I've learned a few things:

1) It's not just a flattering stereotype guys. Pretty much everyone in Sweden really is gorgeous, probably blonde and, despite what you might assume, rather tan.
2) Every blonde tan Swedish lass worth her weight in Kroner owns a pair of white Keds-like tennis, and wears them with eveything, especially black leggings.
3) Just as I suspected (I may be biased as a great deal of my ancestors are from the area), Swedes are cool as fuck.


Sigh. See? Though The Moderniteter is good for some serious hours, here's a few more of my favorite stylin' Swedes (I've also added these and some other great ones to my favorites list):

It's Vintage, Darling!

Obviously, there's something of a language barrier (unless you're fortunate enough to be fluent), but the great thing about these ladies blogs is that the photos, the clothing, the style, it all speaks for itself. It transcends. So have a look, poke around. I have a feeling these are just the tip of the savvy Scandinavian iceberg :n )
