i'm getting super, duper excited to see my sister for christmas vacation. we've lived crazy far away from each other for the last nine out of ten years, so all i get is occasional visits now.  anyway, i thrifted the perfect red wool pencil skirt when she came to visit last year and we both have these boots. so i guess this is some sort of tribute outfit or something. i'm not sure if she would approve of this crazy color combination...maybe i've been overdosing on j.crew catalogs lately.

the current contenders: 
erland from ikea (we already have bar stools from this series.)
eame's molded plastic armchair from herman miller (eames-ing, duhhh)
patrik from ikea (he's fuzzy!)

[going]
to see a nancy holt exhibit at the graham.  there were lots of circles involved, so i was amused.  

[previously on] x-print dress
this dress is pretty flimsy, but with a whole bunch of layers it jumps seasons pretty well.  the x's are black and navy, so it's friendly with other neutrals. 

p.s. oh hi, december! nice to see you again.

the boy had never tried bubble tea, so a trip to chinatown was in order to fix this. comfy shoes and crazy pants were also necessary for the endeavor.

i don't typically pair an 80s-ish thrifted thing with another of its kind, but this brightness needed some serious grays. and this is probably the closest i've come to matching the red books in that book stack. some days just call for crazy bright orange. and some times when a shirt hangs in my closet for six months mocking me, i eventually wear it.
