Fffffound is fffffunny

I went over to Ffffound to see if there was any inspiring photos. I hit the jack pot but the jack pot of WTF land. Every time I found one it lead me to the next and the next. I could not stop.
You can see the thru line if you really look. It even comes full circle.

I heart Etsy emails

I love getting my daily etsy finds emails. Sometimes the finds are just interesting and sometimes they make me drool with envy and desire.
Today there were some great jewelry/ boots / clothing finds!

Sabrina Dehoff jewelry

I am not the best with bedazzling myself unless it is with colors and patterns but I really want to get better. My friend Margaret is stellar at accessorizing not only her self but everyone else too.
I try and think W.W.M.W? What Would Margaret Wear? When I saw the pretty and some times adorable adornments by Sabrina Dehoff I thought that is pretty / I would totally wear that / Margaret would totally wear that. So, would you?

Heavy Cross by The Gossip

I think this song rocks. Makes me wanna dance and throw glitter every where.
How bout you?

Collette is a big kid

I left Paris one day before the Collette store opened. I fogged up their windows as I gazed and longed to touch all their wonderful surprises. Thank god their site can give me a small fix until we meet again in person.
Collette has many things but I would say that over all she is a child in an adult body and she ain't changin'.
feast yours eyes on this colorful buffet of color. Go to the site just to rock out to the amazing tunes they stream. brilliance.



Unis is nice

The clothes from Unis New York seem so casual and classy. As if happiness really is inside you and a temperature cool day. I also love their photos for the Spring 09 collection. How cute is that boyfriend model?

Now Let's really get Hot!!

Ethel Smith on Organ 1944

Sartorialist in paper back

Look what I am getting myself. For no other reason but to educate and remove any excuse to not look fashionable. This book is the size of a bible for a reason - it is a bible. A fashion word of God.
I can worship that.
Thank you Cup of Joe for the heads up.
Get yours!


Oh boy Oh boy!

I have been longing for a great pair of saddle shoes. I have had a few pairs in my day and I always find such joy in wearing them. Their stunning contrast harks back to a day of equal contrast. Life seemed so simple and easy and yet there was so much kept hidden and not allowed. Ah, the good ol' days.

Anyway, these came to me as I was gathering info for an up coming post but they just put a smile on my face and I hope it will do the same for you.

At $65 how can I not smile. Thanks Bass.

Can I date a website?


Sometimes when you are a little needy and just looking for that perfect thing to be said to you to just make you blush and giggle and feel absolutely for sure that you are the most beautiful thing in all the world go to Le Love.
never fails to make me feel special.




Make me laugh every time

I know these have been around a bit but they are so funny. makes me wanna go and get some new random albums and do some myself.
The site is Russian but it just proves some comedy is universal.



Wedding dresses are confusing

I started taking ganders at gowns again.
I would love to know your thoughts. Getting engaged is so thrilling and so much fun. Planning a wedding should be the same. But in a way I find the wedding world to be much like that of Chicago's Sin City in the early 1900's. Lots of shady business and plenty of dark alleys waiting for you to take a wrong turn down.
I find it gets difficult to know what it is your really want. We all know that a wedding should be about you (the couple). But what exactly does that mean.
I found that my best radar is to gather as many options as possible and put them out in front of me and then just follow my guts.
It is like asking someone "Should I wear shirt A or shirt B?" it doesn't matter that they say shirt B cause you know you are going to wear shirt A. Some times you just need that push to commit.
If you don't mind, would you be my push and sounding board?

A simple Sapphire gown. Color is beautiful price is cheap. But is it special enough to be a wedding dress? and a colorful wedding dress at that?


I have been thinking more Marigold and blue tones as my options but I love this. Sexy and elegant. I love the gold. I also like that I could wear this again. Is that wrong to want to wear your wedding dress again? I think it a wonderful thought that while you are out with your Husband you and he would remember that wonderful day you became husband and wife.

Holy crap y'all. I just found it in Blue or technically it called "Ocean". I kinda love it! Me with my platinum hair and big boobs. It kinda also makes me laugh. I would want all my bridesmaids to have their hair done in big bouffants wearing vintage dresses. That wedding sounds like a blast. Not sure if it works with Potsch and his spats. But we could figure it out.
P.S. this ocean dress is almost half the price of the fuchsia one above.
This such a Dolly dress. Now be honest. Is this amazing or is it amazing if I was going to prom?

oh, how Charming

I thought a charm bracelet would make a lovely gift to someone, maybe a bridesmaid or mother or maybe even yourself. When I went looking into the idea I was shocked and pleasantly surprised at all the options. These charms at Rembrandt Charms go beyond the heart or fairly symbol, even passed the #1 mom and ballet slippers trinket. These charms are here to celebrate the beauty of the everyday with special solid gold or just gold plated bed pans and desks and rifles and crutches.

I am very temped to make a bracelet with a charm for each family member. I wonder who the electric saw would represent?

Crazy or brilliant?


There is something that thrills me to bits about this idea but then there is something that makes me think things could go horribly wrong. Meaning maybe someone (Me) has gotten a bit too into the details of everything wedding and lost her head. But there is a classy way to do this right?

Have fun learning German

I love being partnered for life with a sexy cool foreign boy. My is from Germany. It is fun being the emotional in-love with everything American girl with her determined to-the-point German boy.

I have known from the start that our children will be raised learning both English and German. I don't know German. I learned a little from some cd's and I looked really cute when we first visited his family in German but now my two/three German sentences are just a disappointment. Luckily one of my best friends has also fallen for a German and she too needs to get on the German speaking band wagon.

I am thrilled to enroll in a foreign language class with my friend. I learned french for about ten years and can only speak it if I have to survive. (I know this from experience)Now, learning a language has an actual point. I am bettering myself for my children.

Of course the best way to learn a language is to submerge yourself in it. But I am not moving to Germany right now and I doubt Potsch will sign on to only speak German to me from now on. So, I found some music.

Enjoy!




I actually listen to them all the time. So amazing.





Another great one is Nylon. I adore them. such a great sound. I could not find any videos but you can hear them here. Definitely worth the jump.

For More cool German tunes check out Haus Maus by Holly who also does Decor8. She just moved to German this past week with her husband. Can't wait to get the heads up on all cool German things.
