♥ seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.

i like the 1960's, librarians, nerdy girls. i like the glasses you wore as a kid

- or that your dad wore as a kid- and wearing them now.

...i like pearls, brass, opera glasses. everything being all violet.

i like seeing the world with a pretty pink tint to it.

i am loving the latest collaboration with warby parker & stylist/ editor leith clark.

five vintage-inspired frames. offered as readers or sun-glasses.

i think i need ALL of them.

but these, especially:

♥ black magic.

working in retail on black friday weekend was a doozy. 

long hours, crazy customers, and an endless amount of work to be done.

normally, i don't mind being on my feet all day- 

but at almost six months pregnant, i am beginning to appreciate 

the comfort of a pair of sensible shoes. (do i sound almost 30??)

::cue angels singing and bells ringing::

...and then this gorgeous pair of hush puppies arrived at my door step,

like a christmas miracle, just in time for my crazy weekend.

can i tell you how much more manageable life was without having to

 worry about aching feet? and did i mention how cute these black flats are?

the hint of gold sparkle definitely adds a festive something to any holiday outfit.

and the springy foam interior will guarantee your tootsies feel just as good 

as they look :) i highly recommend!

♥ the painted veil.

since watching the inimitable jean woods sport a veiled beanie in the documentary

 fabulous fashionistas, i have been obsessed with the idea of wearing one.

here are a few that i have gathered from the internets:

prettiness from bernstock speirs.

cool camo from harlett via karmaloop.

cream on cream puff from bcbg maxazria.

pearl & rhinestone details from caged couture.

dreamy grey beanie from abanch.of fashion.

pink perfection from kate spade.

...and here is a great DIY veiled beanie project,

 if you'd like to make your own! :)
