Brown leather lace-up shoes

I just got these cuties for my birthday and have been looking for inspiration for how to wear them on Polyvore.

Oh no! We're finally there!


Skeletons as models for Jean-Paul Gaultier's Couture 2010 collection! It's not what it seems though, for, as it says here, 'after all, this is a designer who has flown the flag for diversity (age, shape, ethnicity) on the runway for years'. Read more on Vogue.com.

A light for little pirates

My four year old would love this little lantern. He's into superheroes BIG TIME but is just discovering pirates. Just a round white shape in the day, but a pirate skull after dark!

Inspired by Picasso

I'm feeling particularly inspired today and the source comes from Picasso's paintings of women. Yet another idea waiting for the right time to grow!

Happy 4th of july weekend!

What are you up to on the weekend. Although not an American, I will be celebrating on The 4th, as it's my birthday. So tomorrow I'll be baking and preparing for family and friends to come over on Sunday. So today I'll leave you with a few red, white and blue flickr finds (these are, incidentally, also the colours of the Icelandic flag). Have a happy weekend!

Everyday saints

Saints for those everyday situations... like losing your keys!

Saint Isidor, the Internet Guide


Saint Zita, the key finder


Saint Disma, the alarm system

Saint Claudius (of course!) for smoking in peace

Wall Saints stickers by Marcella Foschi and Alice Rosignoli are, according to Marcella's web site, actual Vatican approved saints that protect us from our fears or solve little problems. I need you, Saint Zita! What kind of a saint do you need in your life? I wonder if there is one 'for mothers to drink just one cup of coffee in peace a day'...

Some more things I *have* to have!

These last few days I've been trying to get my 17 month old to go to sleep in his own bed. While he's not too unhappy about the new arrangement, he does take a loooong time to fall asleep and if I leave his bedside he will cry. So I've been sitting there next to him, patiently waiting for mr sandman to do his job. So what has that got to do with a lace unitard and a black wedge sandal? Well, while I've been sitting there I've had to entertain myself in some way or other, without disturbing Sam. So I've been thinking about my wardrobe, how I can update it, what pieces I'd really like to get and totally fantasizing about getting a completely new outfit for every day of the week. I've reached the conclusion that the next thing I need to buy for an instant update is this lace unitard from American Apparel (a second life to all my light jersey dresses) and wedge sandals to get with the latest footwear craze... although wedge shoes would probably be more practical as they would take me through winter.
