another something lovely to wear

Starting to think about costumes for BRC, and I absolutely love, love, love this dress. Where can I find material like this? Photo from Souvenirs.

...we're living under water here in Portland.

This beaded dream catcher/spider web is so beautiful and glistening. The photo (along with a series of other dream-like, seductive, creative photos) is from Souvenirs.

The Cherry Blossom Girl is another gorgeous blog with stunning photos of places and fashion.

Also, I love the style of Thompson Family-Life...and the pursuit of all things cute, kitschy, and crafty. Yep, sounds like something that would make me swoon. Her sewing nook is adorable.

I love this caftan from Plum Pretty Sugar. Isn't it dreamy? I see myself wearing it on the beach and in the desert. Places that are hot, breezy, and sandy. Another great recommendation from over at Modish, and a splash of color for yet another rainy Portland day.

cannon beach

Yesterday, we went to Cannon Beach for the first time. There were some clouds, no rain, a little sun, lots of dogs, intelligent thieving sea gulls, a few surfers, strawberry blossoms, broken sand dollars, and that amazing tang of salt and sea.

 

This guy above only had eyes and ears for his surfer buddy, the black speck in the water in the back left. He had no interest in us other humans trying to pet him and talk to him.
