Paul Smith Spring 2009

I aways look forward to a new collection from Sir Paul Smith. His designs are classic, traditional, and playful. I love the tailoring, colors, patterns and chiffon dresses and skirts. And how about those scarves?!? It was like a cricket match meets the orient.









Reminiscent of Ingre's Odalisque painting...

Rosario Adobe

I've been ogling these adobe, calfskin shoes by Marcello Toshi Creazioni. I love the hand-crochet alpaca roses.

Last-minute Gift Part Deux

It was warm yesterday so I decided to make a hat instead. The pink, purplish yarn is made from Bamboo. It has a beautiful sheen and the texture is soft and silky. It's also a pleasure to work with.



Today's Brew

Last night I drank Phuket Lager Beer for the first time at my friend's birthday party. This light, blond beer tastes smooth, crisp, and a little sweet. I think it tastes and smells like honey. I'm usually not fond of sweet beers, but this was good. This was absolutely perfect for a warm, spring evening.

Hey there! I spent the day basking in the sun and making a birthday cowl for my friend Meredith. Her birthday party is tomorrow. Happy Birthay Dithie!

Summer Blanket



I learned how to crochet a couple years ago. The granny square blanket was my first big project. It's soft, cool, and I'm jonsin' the retro colors. I usually drape it over my bed in the summers. You dig?!?!
