Not sure if I'm just late in the game here, but I caught a glimpse of H&M's home collection while I was nursery shopping - and it totally blew me away. I can't say I wouldn't be thrilled to own any one of these pieces. I blame that tablecloth combo for sparking my interest in grey layered lace. Not to mention those squirrel salt and pepper shakers, which are perfect utilitarian and stylish decor. And I couldn't resist ordering that fawn duvet cover - I have a crafty idea to use that in the nursery as wall art.

Old and New: Black Ankle Boots
#
shopping
I adopted a pair of Chelsea boots by Ecote back in winter 2011, which hold the title of my most durable shoes to date. It wasn't until about a month ago that I needed to invest in a similar, yet updated pair. Forever faithful to the beautifully curated shoe selection of Urban Outfitters, my search started and ended with this high/low upper contour from Deena & Ozzy. And the process of breaking them in is ongoing - only further proof of their reliability come rain and snow.

Top Ten Birthday Crushes

shopping
Another window shopping extravaganza was to be had again today - at least until I can get my outfit post set-up organized for next week. This time, I'm treating myself to the visual stimulation of apartment decor, among other eye candies, to celebrate my twentieth.
1. I've been looking for a promising eyeshadow pencil; then this Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour comes onto my radar. Perfect in rose gold, with just the right bit of shimmer.
2. Also in need of a lengthening mascara, particularly after a situation with my old tube baking in a hot car on our wedding day...oops! I have heard wonderful things about Diorshow Iconic (waterproof, of course).
3. A new copy of Wuthering Heights, after I misplaced mine last winter. This one by Mr. Boddington's Studio, with such a freshly designed cover.
4. Since I picked up yoga a little less than a month ago, I invested in a yoga mat and strap carrier - but I can't resist this Floral Flag Yoga Bag. Athletic chic and the perfect dose of Americana.
5. Always desperate for a nice wooden easel that will allot for large-scale canvases. This one by Utrecht would be the most utilitarian option.
6. Perfect for my inner animal-lover that wants to pamper herself in the bath, these vegan soaps are gorgeously handmade with lavender, ginger, rosemary, among other ingredients, in Seattle.
7. In need of an excuse to splurge on a camcorder, and what better reason than preparing to document a growing life? This Canon Vixia is necessary for a birthday list (or baby registry)!
8. Although my planter collection is larger than my garden, which consists of an overflowing ashtray and some freshly cut flowers, this ceramic rhinoceros piece would look at place next to my zoo of lambs, swans, and horses. And now to find some proper gardening tips.
9. An adorable rug for next to my front door. I'm always thinking ahead when it comes to apartment decor, and something with this kind of character would look charming under the feet of autumn visitors.
10. Some measuring spoons to add a bit of floral to my kitchen cupboards. Grouped with the matching measuring cup collection, my inner baker is drooling over stoneware.

Nasty Necessities

Dirty Cash Dress by One Teaspoon
Jett Harness Bootie by Jeffrey Campbell
Twisted Up Blouse
LouLou Garter Hot Pants by Only Hearts
Casually eyeing through Nasty Gal's summer sales just an hour ago, I couldn't help myself. I indulged my summer wardrobe, disguised as an early-birthday surprise: that flawlessly tie-dyed maxi dress, undeniably perfect for August's humidity, and that chain bracelet dripping with crystals. Also dreaming of mesh underpinnings, a perfectly easy one-piece, the most chic breast feeding-friendly top I've seen so far. Don't forget the hardware footwear and something bodycon to flatter the ensuing baby bump. Necessary.
