live by the sun, love by the moon

Nothing more to say, last minute birthday gifts, shopping, two boxes of macarons to pick up at Paulette, and a looooong drive along the coast tonight. Hope you all are having a lovely weekend!

By the way, two things: 1.) Kate Bosworth in Isabel Marant for Nylon—ace. 2.) McQueen lives on.

Wearing | self-sewn leopard paperbag shorts • Forever 21 rusted orange chunky knit cardigan • Harlow lace button-down shirt • thrifted belt • gifted clutch • oversized aviators from Space 15 Twenty flea market • Nine West suede riding boots

So decent-looking leopard shorts cost about $50 (cough... Urban Outfitters), and the cheapest alternatives look like trashy underwear. In lieu of the hunt for the right pair, I obtained some leopard print fabric and decided to sew my own from scratch. Four seams later, and I got my own pair of leopard print shorts for just $3 worth of fabric! I've been addicted to making my own shorts lately, I've almost forgotten how easy they are to construct. Time to make high waisted ones. Until then...

Michael Kors Fall 2011 RTW/30th anniversary show

Luxe. Sleek tailoring, soft make-up colored fur, slinky knits and jersey, creamy silks, and refined '70s silhouettes all appeal to me right now!
