THE PERFECT SERIES: the perfect silhouette

I'm going to try a new blog feature and I'm calling it "The Perfect Series."
Basically, when I see a shot that (to me) defines something perfectly, ima post it.
A picture is worth a thousand words, after all.

So to start, the perfect silhouette:

The Weekend.

I...

-got the Sartorialist's book for my birthday and proceeded to pore over it for quite a long time and I still haven't even finished it which makes me happy. (Really, it's an amazing book and I know you know that already, but I'm just still constantly fascinated at the way that all these different people put themselves together. Whether they're wearing 3 garments or layering on 13, the creativity is stunning and completely inspiring and I could look at it forever because there's always something new to see. Ok done with that rant. Thank you for the gift, P. Obviously I love it.)
-wore the same men's flannel shirt for like 3 days in a row. It's not gross, I promise. I changed for the evening festivities. It's the best most comfortable shirt and has just that right fit where it hangs loosely but not unflattering-ly.
-shopped with my mom at Anthropologie (favorite) where we each bought the same jacket (in different colors) which proves that that store really must be some kind of alternate universe.
-watched Conan's last show which was really bittersweet but mostly just bitter because I love watching him, but still sweet because he won't be working for stupid NBC and I'm excited to see what he'll do next.
-did lots of shopping. (excellennnt) Found a new boutique that just opened 2 months ago by someone almost my age. (inspiring)
-ate a lot of cupcakes. And sushi. (two of my favorite things)
-had an all-around delightful birthday weekend in which I enjoyed the company of my darling friends and family and husband (thank you so much everyone, I love you).

-found Vanessa Jackman's streetstyle blog that all the amazing pictures in this post are from.





How about you? Any highlights?
...Is anyone else having Gossip Girl withdrawal?

omgomg

Well.
It's been a year, hasn't it?
Holidays, family, parties, desserts, shopping, days spent on the couch, you know the drill.
And I've become obsessed with tea. (Don't worry coffee, you'll always be my #1.)
So that's what I've been up to.

I just found something that I absolutely needed to share, something so charming it kinda makes me want to get married all over again (to the same guy, naturally) just so I could do it like this.

...and gray suede heels to round out the perfection that this is.


I highly recommend checking out more pictures.
