found a new blog to stalk...

it's basically a blog where this girl named jane (in the pictures below) writes little commentaries on clothes and also takes *pretty* stylized pictures of herself. all the pics on her blog as SO FUN to look at. sometimes i really love blogs that are more pretty pictures than words.

i heart these.

see the shop.

my new favorite blog:

this blog just made it's way onto my "blogs i stalk" favorites folder. mostly she just blogs about the outfits she puts together on a limited budget and it's actually highly entertaining. the pictures are cute, the outfits are cute...cutecutecute. definitely some good clothing inspiration.

love these vintage earrings.

i picked them up at the bijou market last saturday for only 5 bucks! so cute.

the urban outfitters spring catalog is here...

i've been itching to sew some dresses for my 16-month old...but i've never sewn any kind of clothing before. i've only sewn good ol' 90 degree corners for a quilt or a burp cloth or something.

these are pretty cute, i actually have that hippo fabric from ikea on the left. go here for the pattern.

this is pretty awesome, whatever kind of dress i make i'm definitely doing some kind of applique.
i think i might start with a pillowcase dress. i hear they're pretty easy. and they're sleeve-less...i'm scared of sewing sleeves.

this pillowcase dress is DARLING. love that tree. shouldn't be too hard, right? here's a tutorial i found that i think i might try.

wish me luck! if you're lucky i might share some pictures.

golden globes: my favorite dresses

my # 1 fav: sandra bullock's plum frock. i just loved that shade of purple, it was so different from everyone else's pastels and monochromatic choices. and i loved all the sheer layers and it looked so pretty with her coloring, and i was so glad that she won! she's always been one of my favorite actresses ever since i saw in "while you were sleeping."

# 2 fav: i loved the fit of this dress, it just fit her so well. i've always appreciated how jennifer garner was curvy and athletic rather than bone-skinny. and she always looks so dewey and glowy and she looks so classy in this subtle dress.

# 3 fav: i thought this dress was so cute, and i love the blend of the black and white stripes. she looks like a sassy little mary poppins, especially with that umbrella. and she's always so funny and down-to-earth (case in point, when an interview commented on the rain on the red carpet, tina was all "oh, it's just god crying for nbc." ha.)

# 4 fav: so cute and pink and frothy. i love that it's a mermaid style but not in an exaggerated, flesh-hugging way. sometimes those mermaid dresses can be so unflattering and tight. and who doesn't love emily blunt? and oh my crap, are not she and john kraskinki the cutest couple EVER?

# 5 fav: i always appreciate how chloe sevigny makes interesting fashion choices, like this explosion of periwinkle ruffles. ruffles was definitely a theme at the golden globes last night. and oh my gosh haha, i loved how she started to hyperventilate when that guy stepped on her ginormous train. here she is, all super happy to have just won an award, and then this guy puts a damper on it by ripping her dress. poor gal! but it was so funny how she couldn't get over it.

p.s. YAY! for glee winning best tv comedy!

i'm feeling a bit chilly in utah right now...

but these coats sure look warm.
