what would gwyneth do?


I don't think I remembered to tell you all
that I finally found a winter coat!
COS came through really well in the end.

It's doesn't really resemble
any of the previous inspiration pictures from before-
rounded shoulders, collar-less...
WHOA! But I love it.

With this severe short haircut
thankfully growing into super cute
Michelle Williams territory, paired with the coat,
it's a definite Audrey Hepburn vibe.



But I do think that in the back of my mind
I'm on a hunt for a really structured coat as well.
Aaaaannd COS has this one too!



Ok, so I told you that I bought this coat,
but my actual reason for the post was to ask
what the heck kind/colour scarf will go best??

In other words,
what would Gwyneth do?

good to be proud of your friends, round 2



My dear, dear friend Sheree
is almost ready to release
her long imagined lullaby album.



She launched her new website yesterday,
and it's like a powerhouse exhibit for the talents of all my friends.
Amanda and Tom Frose designed both the website and the CD packaging.
Aaron and Brittany Huizenga took the black and white photographs.
James Moes took the coloured photographs.
Jeremy Eisenhauer wrote the most lovely and sweet biography,

"....That’s why she is the best kind of dreamer.
She never loses sight of reality like so many of us do.
A dreamer in the sense that she sees through the fantasy land
that is modern-day living.
She’s the real deal. She’s determined.
Tough as a farmer, but the softest of mothers."




This new album is spectacular.
I may or may not have an illegal pre-mastered version
that I've been listening to a lot these days
as I live this lonely french life.
There's a new song up for listening to on the website,
but there is also this beauty to be seen below.
Filmed on Bowen Island by the Huizenga's,
a gorgeous little version of Be Back Tomorrow.

ah shit, there's a barenaked ladies song in my head..

i just kind of discovered polyvore.
i'm pretty sure i'll get bored of it quickly,
but it allowed me to visualize my dream wish list.
it's rather cohesive!
also, i have fantastic taste.
