boots! I finally bought a pretty pair of Hunter boots–after having to replace my cheap wellies each year I gave in and ordered a pair of the good ones. I had some initial doubts about the color I picked (VIOLET) but then I threw together this inspiration board and now I’m really just excited for them to arrive…

fall fashion week is in full swing- and as usual, i’m a little depressed about it. don’t get me wrong, i love seeing the new styles, colors and ideas, i love the excitement–but it is such a buzz kill to realize what we have to live though before spring. oh, dark-depressing-winter. SO i am focusing on now. fall. things that are exciting me about THIS season…
from Panton’s fall color report i’m loving Purple Heart and Rapture Rose. especially paired with grey and bright blue (which were spring 09 colors…so what? i can live in the past a little, right?) also loving menswear inspired looks paired with girly-flirty accessories. but i think, above all, i’m loving purple.

i am so in love with this popcorn bar party from the latest issue of Utterly Engaged. such a fun idea, perfect for New Year’s Eve or maybe an Oscar party!

i’m loving the embellished headbands at forever 21 right now. headbands have always been hard for me- i feel like they squeeze my brain. but gosh, these would be worth it:

my trip to DC last weekend has inspired me. everyone has such cute apartments. i want mine to be cute too. i seem to be very good finding pictures of cute rooms. but not so good at making my own cute. i am determined to pull it off. here is my current inspiration:

i really love frame collages like this one. especially the miss matched frame colors and sizes–with a collection of fun prints and a few new pieces of furniture i could really transform the living room:
{1. desk: crate&barrel, 2. vintage map: ebay (currently debating how much i’m willing to pay…) 3. storage bench: target, 4. rattan chair: ikea, 5. this little dot poster: allposters, 6. sofa bed: ikea}
the color scheme: Preppy Green, Sun Safari, Cool Sausalito (all dutch-boy paints).
the goal: create a modern room that reflects my laid-back personality and west-coast roots, but is stylish enough for a new yorker… i’m open to suggestions 
lobsters were never so chic on the west-coast.
