farewell april

I am so looking forward to May, only one more day of this wretched April we've had. 
Here's a SHOP update with warmer weather in mind...

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams...

 - Steven Alan dress
 - vintage oxfords
 - vintage Coach purse
 - vintage Rayban sunglasses
 - listening to:  Led Zeppelin "Going to California"

I don't know how it happened but suddenly our trip is only a week away.  It seems like yesterday that I started the countdown at 95 days.  Time flies!  I have an immeasurable amount of things to do in the next week before we leave.  As much as I've thought about what to pack, I haven't even taken my new backpack out of the box yet.  I better get to work.

Wool & the Gang

a

I just discovered the company Wool & the Gang (clever, huh?) while I was browsing through the Steven Alan site.  I was attracted to their simple shapes in earthy colors that seem appropriate for any season.  The pieces are knit from Peruvian wool, each collection containing a selection of basic pieces.  Or, if you're patient and talented they also sell knitting kits so you can make your own version.

A Mad Men Question

4

 - 60s dress via Etsy
 - Zara sandals
 - vintage Coach purse
 - thrifted belt

Have you all been watching Mad Men this season?  I always hesitate to say too much about the show because I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet but... I do wonder what you all think about this new season.  It just feels so different from the last ones.  Stranger.  Every time I watch a new episode I find myself saying, "that was the weirdest episode yet".  Don't get me wrong, I'm still loving it.  It's just... strange.  What do you think?
