etsy model of the week.

It's almost my favorite holiday of the year and I have been eating candy, carving pumpkins and gathering things for my costume all week! I decided to be a ballerina, tutu and all. Since, I have been consumed in Halloween fun all week, my blog shouldn't be an exception. Here are a few of my picks for Etsy Model of the Week, Halloween style...

burlesque top hat by topsy turvy design.

velvet cocktail dress by fetedesmorts.

What are you being for Halloween?

isobel and cleo

I am speechless (which is rare) about how amazing these HANDMADE knit pieces are from isobel and cleo. Absolutely beautiful!

cropped layered rectangle jacket.

Visit their Etsy shop here. And be sure to read the descriptions, such hard work was put into each piece. Ah-mazing!

sugar and fig.

I was really bummed when I opened my new West Elm duvet cover, only to realize pillow cases were not included. So, I have caseless pillows,(problem)! I was so happy to find these awesome scissor cases from Etsy seller sugar and fig. Now, just to decide which one.... Do you have a favorite?

I am seriously in love with Portland based designer, austie. The wedding inspired hair fancies are a perfect combination with the beautiful models. I couldn't choose just one model, so here are a few different photos.

brooklyn.

I was visiting the East Coast for the weekend, thoroughly enjoying the chilly weather, and a visit to Brooklyn. I stumbled upon the yummiest little shop on Atlantic Ave.

Two cupcakes and a apple and cranberry crumb cake later, I was in heaven. Have any of you gone here?

hier.

I am in Maryland visiting family for the week, and it's freezing! Not only was I unprepared for winter like temperatures, it has not stopped raining for 3 days. Living in San Diego, it's easy to forget that actual "weather" exists in other parts of the country....

I left most of my warm jackets in Maryland with my family, because there is no need for them in San Diego. But, its time for those jackets to retire and make way for new ones. I love the designs of hier apparel. Simple earth tones, and amazing detail.

aeviora adornment.

genius.

I apologize if you have already seen this but, if not they are some of the most creative, amazing and intricate pieces have ever seen. Can you expect less from Alexander McQueen?

Pretty Birdie

Colder weather is here! I bought new boots last week, I'm already on the hunt for another pair (black motorcycle boots, any ideas?). I have a ton of jackets and boots but, I need more cold weather clothes! Here are some great pieces from Pretty Birdie by Stephanie Teague.

Organic wool. (Cardigans are my favorite!)

hemp and organic cotton.

santoki vintage.

Boots and blazers are my main obsession this season. Thankfully, santoki vintage has plenty of both. Be still my heart...

wool military.

vintage charles david boots. ah-mazing!

seed knits.

It's finally starting to feel like Fall in San Diego. Boots and light jackets are out in force! I really love the chunky scarf look from Etsy shop owner, seed knits. Earth tones, simplicity and warmth.

nomad.

hand spun super scarf.

rachel loves bob.

I apologize for being so behind on posts. This week has been really busy for me between work and starting classes again I am exhausted. So, I'm going to keep this post short and sweet.

I am totally in love with the button silhouettes from Etsy seller, Rachel Loves Bob. Such a simple design, classic and lovely.

mCcheeks mayhem.

My Target cups and plates that I bought a year ago are fading fast. So, I am on the look out for new, exciting, and well-made pieces. McCheeks Mayhem, totally has the style I'm looking for. Classic with a vintage touch.
