Busty!

Here is a sub-par (sorry! Best I can do till I'm back in NYC with all the proper gadgets, bells and whistles) scan of my article on page 36 of the new Aug/Sept issue of BUST magazine, which is, dare I say, possibly one of my favorite issues to date. I submit for your consideration: a feature article on Little Edie Beale, complete with a sumptuous collection of family photos; a "Twin Peaks" (!!!) themed fashion spread; and a Wardrobe_Remix inspired pictorial featuring a couple of my favorite bloggers, Sally Jane and The Snail and the Cyclops. Hooray BUST!

It seems like there's been a lot of talk about bows as accessories lately: Liebe Marlene wears them in her hair, while Bird Baths prefers them around her neck, among other places. So, in an effort to soften up my intimidating new boots, I decided to try a floral dress and big poofy bow of my own. I still felt a bit like I should be pacing around a war room, or at least bouncing an enormous inflatable globe off my rump, but I'm working on being comfortable with that.


Also, a couple of you expressed some interest in my afore mentioned peanut butter cups. So here's my completely unscientific, rambling, potentially useless recipe! Enjoi!

what I'm after...

Analog pride!/Lavendar oh my!/perfectly Knot-ical (har har)/ok so I pretty much want everything that Roost has ever created, ever.

sweepin' those clouds away

Today it's too cold to go to the beach, so I'm doing laundry, listening to ELO, making home made peanut butter cups and looking through Cassie's photos of sunny days gone by...















Come back soon, Mr. Blue Sky!

My friend Dag and I dubbed this outfit "Elizabethan Casual", what with all the ruffles and royal reddish purples. Henry the Eigth I am none, but still, I felt sufficiently regal.
