(i heart) ART - MaricorMaricar

These drawings from MaricorMaricar are doily-ish, but at the same time not doily-ish at all - doilies never looked this good.

WEAR - Sessun

Sessun's autumn / winter collection. Hazy-dreamy & totally making me want another coat. Even though that's the one item of clothing my wardrobe really doesn't need any more of. I have so many coats. They're my weakness. I always buy them thinking - "They're coats! They're useful! Come on! I live in MAINE! Brrrr!" But they stop being useful when you get to a certain amount. When the fleet gets too large.

That being said, even in my state of depleted funds, I don't think I'll be able to last through fall / winter without getting a new one. That's just not going to happen.

What's your wearable weakness? Something you know you don't need but you just end up getting anyway.

Proud Mary is an awesome company. Their goal is "to continue to establish relationships with talented textile artisans around the world, sharing their beautiful work and story". The products above are made using fabric designed & created by a small cooperative outside of Capetown. The artisans used potatoes to create the print. Nice. Plus - triangles! Always grand.

BLOG - Thank You, Ok

Thank You, Ok is a blog I recently discovered. Am I oh-so-glad I did? Why, yes. I'm very, very glad I did. The blog is run by a 25-year-old Canadian living in South Korea. As there's no chance that I'll be visiting Asia anytime soon (or any other countries other than the US for that matter, sadly) - I'm so happy I get to explore through her blog.
