I can’t enough of yellow! I’m addicted to this yellow patent-leather belt, and my gigantic new bag makes me smile every day. How great is that pattern? It makes me think of something Elisabeth would create.

My haircut is fresh and short (picture soon), and it made me go and buy new t-shirts this morning (including a gray one to wear with my yellow belt!). Summertime should mostly be spent with short hair and soft-soft-soft t-shirts. I can’t wait for the weekend. I have a good feeling.

I came to the Habitat store via Wiksten, and immediately found several things I wouldn’t mind finding waiting for me in the closet tomorrow morning.

MK2K Two Pocket Dress (gray!)
Frye Cameron peep-toes (green!)
Initium Ten sunglasses (black! blue!)
Campers Right flats (yellow! gray!)

I love these colors together.

My friend Janet keeps complaining about having to see that tile photo day after day, so I figure I had better put something new here!

That’s worth it, right? It’s my new Orla Kiely bag, and it holds everything and looks great. It was one of those purchases I just had to hold close my eyes, hold my breath, and say “GO!” for, but I have no regrets. Happy, pretty. (I want this one, too!)

Oh, and guess what? Our plumbing work in the bathroom is officially starting THIS FRIDAY! Finally. We also have a landscaper coming that day to assess our yard and figure out how much it would cost to demolish our back porch, put up a new fence, take down a tree, and remake Carin Goldberg’s garden. I have a feeling he’s going to see that photo and ask us why we want a prison yard behind our house!

p.s. It wasn’t freezing cold today! I wore ballet slippers (no socks!) and didn’t suffer. Is spring really coming this time?

I drew a photo-realistic portrait of Evan on my thumb.

It was cold and windy outside today, but I wore my new coat anyway. I was freezing, but it was worth it. C’mon, springtime, you can do it!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

“Emyloo” and “Marilou” coats from Soïa & Kyo’s Spring 2008 collection. Perfect!

Amelia & Neasa dresses (designed by Samu-Jussi Koski). Love!

I tried on coats from Soïa & Kyo over the weekend. So perfect! The fit is amazing on all of them, there’s no way I can choose one. I want them all! These are my favorites:

This last one is the only WARM, insulated coat I have ever tried on that didn’t make me look like I’m wearing a sleeping bag. Standing/shivering on the train platform by the river in the middle of winter always makes me long for a sensible, long coat like that (rather than the cute, cheap wool coats I inevitably wind up buying instead).
