Thirsty Thurs

Sip on some inspo from around the web...

If I lived here...

If I lived here, I'd be as eclectic in my wardrobe as I am in my decorating.  Fearing no print, and welcoming all colors, my clothes would be fun and playful....and lots and lots of girlie dresses. Oh yeah, and in this life, I'd be 5'8, skinny, with long naturally blonde hair.  Kind of like a Disney princess if you will....since I am dreaming here =)

For a living I would be a pediatric surgeon at the local hospital in St Helena, CA.  My husband and I would own and live on an organic vineyard just a few miles out of town.  We'd have a handful of small villas that we would rent out for wine tasters, and our property would constantly host weddings and grand celebrations.  My spare time would be spent sitting on our big porch, staring out at the rolling hills, drinking fresh mint tea made from our garden, and indulging in the latest best seller.  Our one child, a boy, would spend his weekends playing baseball and rehearsing theater (so sorry to my future husband for this, but yes it will happen).  Simple, Sweet, and Successful!

Wam! Bam! Wishes

Forgive me if some of these are repeating themselves...I've been collecting a bunch of wonderful wants lately!

Most items from Gilt or Shopbop

Intrigued..

Versace for H&M launches next month, and the collection has been released for viewing.  I haven't really ever decided how I feel about Versace, but some of their H&M dresses definitely intrigue me.  These are my picks for the dressing room...

Magnifique!

If I had this closet...

If this were my closet, I would fill it with all of Spring's sparkly and shiny wonders!  This would be the attic of my 3 story, 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom, game room, craft room, movie room, and 3 car garage magnificent home in Malibu.  I would live with 2 of my best girl friends and would begrudgingly lend them my fabulous clothes, but willingly style them to the nines.  We would waste hours playing photoshoot, like I don't do that already, but our productivity would come from our successful company that we all run together.

Our company would be a consulting firm that goes to businesses and homes directing folks on appropriate attire and organizing the closet of their dreams.  Mostly, businesses would hire us to guide and enhance their employees on acceptable work attire and appropriate fit.  Seasonally we would hold fashion shows/banquets for all of our business clients showing them the latest styles in business-wear, and of course all the while have a percentage stake in each of the labels showing.  It would be such a tough life of fighting off all those business men, but I promise not to complain ;)

My gals and I would come home from our long days, pop in the latest un-realeased movie in our movie room, order the best chinese take out in town, and lounge around talking about the day's success.  Late nights of gossip, weekends of house parties in our sprawling backyard, and vacations in exotic places (on the client's tab obvi) would be what life is all about!

Now I need to go sip my martini...I mean beer.

Feelin' Whimsy

I have been a major slacker on this the past two weeks...and I will make up for it, that I promise! 

As of late, I have been on a bit of a whimsy kick.  I was reeled in by a "50% off "and suckered by a "going off the shelves".  Thus, I now own these 2 lovely, fun, and crazy items!

Mr. Dannijo Salvador Mustache Necklace

AND

OH YES.....

A Spirit Hood.  Who wants to join my tribe?? =)



Multiply

Not recommended for those cleaning, throwing, knitting, TYPING, and other vigorous hand activities.....clean up those dirty minds!

It is hard to keep on 10 rings... I probably abandon a few throughout the day...found 4 in my cup holder just before this shoot =)

Two sets of rings from Forever 21 - Couldn't find them online, but THESE are good too!

Parvez Taj

I have been m.i.a. a little bit...got to work on a music video shoot this weekend! It was an awesome experience.  Can't wait to share my photos with you!

I almost put H$M and that would be correct too...they do get a lot of my money there.  Anywayz I have been slacking and frolicking around on weeknights pretending like they are weekends, so view the results of the slackness.

OMG! That is all I have to say....besides "that is all I have to say" =)

If I HAVE to live here...

I will start by professing my love for the Pioneer Woman.  I read her book before reading her blog, and she is just plain awesome.  That being said, I like to think I could be totally like her...find my hunky cowboy, settle down in the middle of nowhere, become an amazing cook and photographer...but what about fashion?? This looming question has lead me here...

If I HAVE to live here, I will most likely own the only boutique in town while simultaneously being the local interior decorator, stylist, and event planner.  With a population of less than 1,000 someone's gotta do it all!  I will have an online vintage store with all the great finds from the small surrounding cities.  My wardrobe will be built around the life that envelops me, finding inspiration from my daily activities of gardening, horseback riding, and cooking.  I will NOT sacrifice on style and make many trips to NYC and Paris to escape to the city for shopping and indulgence.  My husband will come from an oil family, but supplement his inheritance with money made from training horses, raising and selling cattle, photography, and sculptures. 

Our day would start at sunrise with a relaxing jaunt to the lake for fly fishing or canoeing followed by feeding and tending to all of the animals.  After, I'd have to run to the boutique, but MY Marlboro man would start working with his horses.  On returning home from tending the store, mailing vintage pieces, taking family portraits, and organizing for upcoming events, I'd find my handsome hubby hard at work in his studio on the next great metal sculpture.  We'd cook a killer dinner and discuss our upcoming event that we are planning and photographing.  The day would end watching the sunset from our wrap around porch while sipping spiked cider and snacking on homemade ice cream. 

It's really amazing how much you can find to do in a small town!

Did you notice that this is a glorified chicken coop? Imagine the rest of the house!

Thus all I have to share right now is that below is my favorite sweater, and it is on sale! You are crazy if you don't buy it, and not my friend if we wear it at the same time. Just kidding...I will at least pretend to still be your friend ;)

Buy it on Piperlime!
