I've been really unmotivated to add things here lately and I'm really just feeling like I've outgrown this the way it is now & it's time to start fresh. I'm starting over at daintythings.blog.com.

SartoriaLUST. November 2010

November 2010. I found this week when sifting through Sartorialist i was less impressed by the chic minimalism I'm usually attracted to and sought something a little more organic and homegrown. 

Whimsical Majestic Love Tones

I'm hoping everyone recovered from their Halloween hangover more quickly than i did (i was one scary Fairy). I have it on very good authority that tomorrow, Starbucks receives their first shipment of red cups! This means Christmas HYPE. It's my favorite kind of hype, i love Christmas hype more than i love Christmas.  SO to welcome you to the month of November, i give to you some whimsical majestic love tones.

Obsession of the Week:

Luella Pastel Colored Heart Pumps

Whitman

Among The Multitude by Walt Whitman

Among the men and women the multitude,

I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs,

Acknowledging none else, not parent, wife, husband, brother, child, any nearer than I am,

Some are baffled, but that one is not--that one knows me.

Ah lover and perfect equal,

I meant that you should discover me so by faint indirections,

And I when I meet you mean to discover you by the like in you.

get happy.

Felix.

Je m'excuse my blog neglect lately, a very exciting little thing happened.

(Left) I think the places of the birds in flight is really nice (Right) ...my kind of man. 

(Above) There's a lot of thought in terms of placement in this, it's really beautiful. (Below) The style of this is so unique, I imagine it'd be very difficult.
