Three Years Old!

Handmade Leather Polaroid Wayfarer Sunglasses

$160 from Nebulagalata on Etsy

Happy 3rd Birthday, Swings and Arrows! 

To commemorate your third year of life, I found a pair of handmade leather sunglasses, fulfilling both the traditional (glass) and modern (leather) anniversary gift requirements.

If you were a three year old person you'd break these in 2 seconds. Good thing you're a blog.

And to all our readers out there, here's to many more years of inspiration together! 

Love,

Hold Fast- Money Maker Camera Strap

Hold Fast Money Maker

Photographers spend a whole lot of money on equipment and camera accessories....too much.  I make do with what I have, buy what I really need and rent when the job demands.  I don't concern myself with looking stylish when I am working but this camera strap is both highly functional and cool looking.  Most people don't need to carry multiple cameras but if you need a solid strap or bag for your SLR this company has high quality leather products.  I hope to get this particular strap at some point but since I am mostly a studio photographer it's not an absolute necessity.
They are Hold Fast and they even have a pretty sweet logo-

Here is he link and more images of the Money Maker.

Fall Wishlist

With every season change, I lament the state of my wardrobe. To be honest, I have abused it. I've had four babies in three different seasons so sizing is just a nightmare, not to mention style changes which affect me pretty hard since I tend to latch onto a trend only to realize later that it totally doesn't suit me. At all.

So I perennially vow to streamline my purchases and only buy looks that are classic and versatile. Then I get my heart set on something that doesn't fit that category and I get derailed all over again. 

Enter this year's nominee:

J.Crew Pixie jodhpur pants

I know that to most people J.Crew is not exactly the cutting edge of trendiness, but when your fashion sense is shaky, at best, J.Crew shines like a beacon of hope. (It simultaneously causes your wallet to burst into flames as well.)

And these pants just kill me. I love the navy with the black leather. Only one problem though: they WON'T go on sale. I've been watching and waiting but no luck.

But don't worry friends, I will own these. Even if it is the only article of clothing that I buy this fall. And I might regret it next fall when they don't fit or I don't like them anymore (doubtful) but I'm not going to think about it too much.

I hope your weekend is full of crisp air, falling leaves, and pumpkin spice lattes. And a kick-arse new pair of pants. 

Happy Friday!

P.S. I'd take those black heels in a hot minute, too.
