random loves

this shirt
I adore ruffles.
And the sky in heaven will be this color. 
Sometimes the sky around here gets close, and I know that it is the color it was destined to be.
When I was little, I thought that sapphires were this color, 
so all of my heroines in my stories had huge sapphire eyes.
I was heartbroken when I found out that they were boring old dark blue.
(wait... will there be sky in heaven?)

this sweater
I'm crazy about drapey necklines.


this coat
I love the sleeves.
these shoes
You know how I feel about ruffles.
And shoes with adorable lining just make. me. happy.
I have ones lined with leopard spots, plaid, red and white polka dots.



I'm pretty sure I would never buy an orange coat, because I would be all jumpy about what to wear it with. Which would mean I would never wear it.
Seriously, I have issues with orange. I like the color, but it's hard to combine.
orange and black--Halloween.
orange and pink--shoot me right now.
orange and red--um, shoot me again. 
Once, a stylish friend who I love wore red Converse with orange laces.
I was shocked, horrified, and we nearly had a falling-out.
(we are still friends, however)
orange and brown--can be beautiful, but also can be sorta pumpkin patch-ish.
orange and green--amazing, provided the green is the right shade. Otherwise, again, pumpkins.
How do you feel about orange? Do you have any colors you love to mix it with?

Pining for Pea Coats





I love adorable coats.
Beyond all words.
So winter is a very dangerous time for my piggy bank.



These coats from Old Navy are definitely on my wish list.
Every time I go to a store, beautiful, expensive wool coats call my name.
Loudly.



I saw this in red at the store the other day and it literally took my breath away.
Even though it's not a pea coat.

By the way--I should post photos of my piggy bank. 
It's a pig. And it's pink. And it isn't very full.
