mustard cardigans + silver & gold jewelry has been my favorite winter complement to the charcoal greys, blacks and navy pieces that i can't live without!
and a still life panting of napoleon, our funny welsh corgi, is exactly what our little home needs...i can't wait :)

I bought that Madewell cardigan and didn't like it. It was too short, and it's not like I have a long torso or anything. (I'm 5'2.)

ariane said...

love the sweater! Also I have a tote just like that and love it.

Marta said...

I love mustard yellow but it looks awful on my pale skin!

Screen Door Prep said...

Awesome! My best friend would love that striped tote! & the price is great! :)

Jamie said...

i actually made my best friends and family morse code necklaces this year! they spell out their names. i loved them when you posted them the first time, but thought they were a bit expensive for what they were. i used a chain instead of cord and bought enough supplies to make one for every girl on my list for the price of one of those necklaces :)

Brittany H. said...

That cardigan is perfect in every way. Super cute. An absolute must have for the wardrobe.

Those marshmallows are calling my name. And I am currently in love with Her Cut for long layers. It doubles the amount of volume of my hair...honest!
Great picks!

That's Not My Age said...

Like the cardi and the pencils, if only I could buy them in the uk (?) I spotted the street style game the other day and am trying to figure out who (apart from myself!) to buy it for.

Katie @ Chai Thoughts said...

I can't wait for my hair to grow out so I can use the ponytail styling creme!

Rachael said...

It was probably a bad idea to look closely at those caramel marshmallows while at work, because now I want to spend the next two hours looking up recipes to make my own. I am drooling over here.

The Morse code necklace in the picture actually spells 'coeur' (as much as a necklace with no spaces can be said to spell anything). I spent over a minute puzzling over it, trying to make it spell 'friend'!
