ROCK THE (OFFICE) CASBAH

Yesterday I hauled booty up to Target on the hunt for an iPad (the model I wanted is sold out everywhere!), and practically ran over the poor guy who was eyeing the very last one they had to get my hot little hands on it (success!). After promptly purchasing I of course had to roam the store... you know, just to see what deals might be calling my name...

And what did I find? Not one, but two of the Calypso for Target poufs that I have been coveting! So, I've decided to continue my Modern Moroccan fantasy for the office with some Arabian decor, adding in some more whimsical ideas with a caravan of camels rug, a perfectly appropriate pendant, and kaleidoscopic pillows. I can see them all surrounded by billowing sheer curtains...

And of course, you'll find me perched on my pouf in this ensemble. A glamorous little romper, elephant ring, and jutti slippers. Perfect for summer workdays! Who wants to come over and lounge??

GONE TO CAPRI...

After yesterday's post on packing for my trip, I promptly booked two nights in a sweet little hotel in Capri and spent a liiiiittle too much time doing some online shopping...

What do you think? I'm pretty sure I could wear this every day of my vacation and feel amazing (until I spill gelato all over that gorgeous white dress). The dress and hat would be fairly easy additions to the wardrobe. The Valentino tote and Antik Batik sandals? A bit of a splurge... but they could be necessary!

FOODIE FASHIONISTA:

Hello readers! Crissie here, from bug&Bear, to bring you the latest edition of Foodie Fashionista. This week I am drooling over artichokes.

Perhaps most known for their staring role in cheesy dips, the many health benefits of the tasty vegetable are often overlooked. Poor guys! Artichokes are full of fiber, potassium and vitamin c, but on top of that, they present such an attractive color palette perfect for inspiring a simple spring look with olives and creams, a hint of purple, and a splash of lemon. Perfect basics that - like the artichoke - are terribly underrated!

TO MARKET, TO MARKET...

In Seattle, much of our city gets tucked away for the winter, so one of my favorite parts about the change of seasons is the return of my beloved farmer's markets! While many shoppers tend to throw on a pair of worn-in jeans and a light sweater, I can't resist a little maxi dress to step things up a bit...

Let's be honest, a maxi is almost as good as sweats. It's a quick throw on, totally comfy, and you look like you actually put some thought into your ensemble. Top it with a few fun accessories and a casual cardi to ward of cooler temps, and you're set for the market... and whatever the rest of the day may bring! Now if the weather would just cooperate a little more...

HOLI-CRAZED

The madness of the holidays has finally gotten to me my dears... so I've decided to dress the part by putting together a festive look that goes just slightly over the top...

Inspired by this styled collection of party accessories, I love the idea of a mixed and matched black and white pattern alongside feathery accents and colorful bijoux! A very daring mix of all things good, don't you think??
