Fav. Friday & Clyde's Rebirth

How great is this giveaway and how great is the lookbook! I'm so excited. My birthday is coming up and this would be sweet. haha!

And now for my second installment of Fav Fridays!!


CaliVintage } Fall Colors
I absolutely love this combination! The skirt is amazing and the blouse spot on. It's vintage without looking too costumey. The textures are great for fall, it just feels so warm with the cotton, wools, and felt that to me signify the changing leaves.



Art of Tin Can Forest } via Perfect Laughter
Found this artist on my favorite Detroit art blog (yo Christina and Dennis!!). I love the use of linework. Using more lines is always a battle for me, I love drawing and want to incorporate it more in my paintings but I'm always afraid of it looking too cartoony. Well this doesn't and I love it.



ModLife } Variations on a theme party
Kevin and My birthdays are coming up... Hmmm. Who wants to dress up in a two person Jabba costume with me?



Let's Go Ride a Bike } Biking in France: the wine road
I love riding bikes and I love traveling! Can you imagine riding your bike in France? Oh gosh, Trisha and Dottie make me so jealous in this post. Cute girls, cute bikes, cute buildings... Ah! I want!



Vanity Fair 1953 photography by Mark Shaw } via The Sea of Fertility
Nancy always find such inspirational images! These photos are incredible. Make sure to go check out the rest. I love how the women are covering their faces, so you can just look at the bodies movement with the fabric. The flow in these are incredible. I want to dance like them!



Tiny Toad Stool } Part 2
I love this outfit!!! And this was my favorite picture. Shanshan is too cute and her berets are amazing. She's having a contest to design one for yourself. I have to enter!



Twitch Vintage } Turban Headband Tutorial
I don't know if a turban would be good on me, but I do love tutorials! Robyn does a wonderful job at showing you how to make such a popular fashion piece with uber simple stuff!!






Heart City Vintage } Side of Mustard
I love Hannah's look! The musstard tights are just too amazing! And the blazer! This is just a perfect back to school/fall outfit. Got some out of the box prep in it, and Hannah is just too cute, I love her hair :)

Well yeah, now you've seen what was in my starred folder on google reader. Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!

Huggles,
Lauren

Fav. Friday & Oxford Me Please

Fav. Friday & Oxford Me Please

Here are my Starred/Fav'ed things from Google Reader this Week:



Design Sponge } Flowers A-Z
I love doing floral arrangements, even though I have a huge yard to plant tons of flowers all over the place I don't do it... I want bouquets in my house all the time, flowers are the prettiest thing. And Anemones are so delicately beautiful.



All This Happiness } Too Much of a Thing
I love this outfit, and I love all of Kate's outfits, but this post really says something to me. Sometimes you get bored with your look whether it's cute and prim or not very stylish. And when your in that stage it can be tough to find your voice. But this outfit still is magnificent to me. I love the jacket and the contrast of the stripes.



Mod Cloth } Fav Looks from Paris Fashion Week
I agree with Julie the Modcloth stylist. This is my favorite look. It's just breathtaking. And blue, my favorite.



Vilhelm Hammershøi's paintings via Audrey Kawasaki's blog
I love this painter so much... the images are amazing.



Sea of Fertility } Military Mode
I love Nancy, it's one of the first fashion blogs I followed, how she mixes her drawing with fashion is amazing, and her taste is incredible. If I could have one thing from her wardrobe I'd be in heaven.



YeYe! Style } Puces Pop 2010
This outfit is perfect, impecable. I want it now. The purple, burgendy and plaid are just amazing. And the layering makes it look so comfortable. Plus she's wearing YarnOverMovement by Tara Lynn who is another fashionable lady I've been following for sometime.




Lost in E Minor } Lego Logan's Run
Um can I say awesome. This is mainly for Kevin who wants to do this for a living.

I'm in awe of these photos. just awe.

That's my first Fav Friday post! And onto my want... haha!

**
Okay, I really want this pair of two tone brown oxfords from UO''s website. I've done my searching and can't find anything that is my size or the style I want. I know I would wear them all the time, because really, look how many times I wear my red oxfords... Like almost daily? And they would be great to ride my bike in... Oh I want.

So I set a mini goal for myself to see if I'm worthy of these babies. First off, I've been pretty good about not buying too many clothes this past month (I did buy quite a bit of socks and tights). And I started on Wednesday the rule I have to ride at least 12 miles a day (which is to work and back). And I have to finish my freelance work this weekend. And I have to actually post the feature that I've been working on for months now (I hope you like it). I also have bunches of presents to send out! Ah!

So if I get these goals met by Monday, I'm getting me some new oxfords. Yum. And it'll be perfect timing for my secret outing at the end of the month. Yay!

Huggles,
Lauren
