1. & 2. The change in season always makes me think about new shoes (although, frankly, I think about new shoes all the time). Lately I have been admiring these F-Troupe mesh sandals, as well as these Aldo Rise heels by Preen. Both so cute.
3. As some of you may know, I am currently having two tattoos that I got when I was 18 removed via laser. It is such a disgusting, time-consuming (it will have taken almost a year of treatments for them to fully fade) process that while I have no problems with tattoos on other people, I’m pretty sure I will never get a tattoo again. Caitlin Shearer just released a line of temporary tattoos, which is so great! No more blown out edges, that’s for sure.
4. The Blonde Woman: an ongoing comic by Aidan Koch. I love her illustration style.
5. I sent this Chloé ad, in all its pleat-y, trapeze-y glory, to the designer who is making my wedding dress. Currently obsessed with my dress having some kind of cape attached to it.
6. Speaking of wedding things, I keep looking at Twigs and Honey’s newest collection because it is just so pretty.
Since we had many requests asking if we could sell the Not Forkchops tote, and since we couldn’t, we decided instead to modify it and turn it into a print. It’s available here, if you’re interested.

"(although, frankly, I think about new shoes all the time)" Me too!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I usually end up wearing the same ol' junky pairs.
DeleteAnabela! I'd love to send you some tattoos in the mail as a little gift. May i please have your address?
ReplyDeletex
That is so sweet of you! I will email you now. Thank you!
Deletejust wanted to let you know, i had a dream that fieldguided opened up shop in a hip shopping district in my city (winnipeg, manitoba) and i applied to work there. also, i said i thought you were based in portland, oregan and you said you had made it up and were actually based in winnipeg.
ReplyDeletedo i read too many blogs?
Oh my goodness, that is so amazing! I probably read more than you (I read a ridiculous amount), so I'm sure you're fine...
DeleteUgh, why do we get tattoos when we're 18?
ReplyDeleteWould you mind sharing where in Toronto you're having yours removed? I feel like there's so many places offering laser removal these days, so I'd love a first-hand recommandation.
I'm terrified enough of the process/cost/pain, I'd hate to end up at a shitty laser-clinic.
I would so appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks!
I go to a place called On Second Thought (ostlaser.com). I came across a review on Yelp and went in for a consultation. Emily is so great and it's so affordable compared to other places. She's not a doctor and she doesn't work in a clinic, but so far so good! It's definitely painful but it's quick. My tattoos aren't huge (a band around my ankle and maybe 3 inches square on my arm) and each appointment takes about 30 minutes. I wouldn't have been able to afford to go to most other clinics!
DeleteChloe ads are the best.
ReplyDeleteThey always are beautiful, have beautiful clothes and make you want to live in them.

Agreed! Or giant bottles of perfume to hug.
DeleteYes, these chloe dresses are a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
ReplyDeleteRight? I just love them. I wish I were taaallllllll like that.
DeleteNow why did you have me look at those beautiful wedding things from Twigs and Honey? Those veils...
ReplyDeleteAren't they amazing? I find that so often hair ornaments can look cheap (it's the materials), but Myra's work is impeccable. I've seen it in person and I met Myra in Portland a couple of years ago, and have my heart set on owning one of her pieces since!
DeleteThey'd look stunning with your features and your dark hair! And I agree, it's such a nice change to see quality in wedding accessories instead of the plastic and polyester that's rampant these days. Good to know they look just as beautiful in person :)
DeleteI love that first pair, the F-Troupe pair, and that they have cloud in the name. Love them! Have you seen these... http://www.barneys.com/Tassel-Sandal/501643875,default,pd.html?cgid=W_COOP_SHOES Acne tassle sandal.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those Acne ones are so cute! The F-Troupe ones are maybe a little too cutesy, but I like them anyway...
DeleteYes to a dress with a cape and I really love the sandle with the tassle. I don't have any tattoos but my fear is that I'll be over it within a few months if I did get one. My mind is always-a-changin.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got my tattoos I didn't think I would ever change my mind! Ha. It didn't take long for me to realize they were ugly & grow to hate them.
DeleteLove this post! Those shoes are just divine.

Glad you like them.
DeleteI am so very fond of those F-Troupe sandals.
ReplyDeleteThe tattoo removal process must be painful Anabela, I hope you're not suffering too much! Seeing my friend go through the process kind of cured me of any temptation of getting a tattoo myself.
Oh, it's fine... not pleasant but completely worth it. I hate the tattoos so much more than I hate the discomfort.
DeletePreen for Aldo Rise! Double high fives. Girl, you've got to get a pair. They are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteI broke my ankle a few years ago and the pins in there cause it to swell, so now I can't wear straps like that. I can barely do this one up! It's really sad.
DeleteOh, love the sandals!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them!
Deletethose shoes..some day i will own shoes besides converse/toms/old navy flip flops. some day...
ReplyDeleteHey, whatever is most comfortable for you! Nothing wrong with that.
Deleteso so pretty

Oh, thanks! Thanks for saying hello.
DeleteGahhh The F Troupe sandals are the most darling things. Can't wait to see what your wedding dress will look like!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait either! I have no idea at this point, haha.
DeleteYou are an enabler! I fell in love with those F-Troupe sandals, but ended up with this pair on sale: http://www.asos.com/F-Troupe/F-Troupe-Bow-Wedge-Sandals/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1497276&cid=10641&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Chocolate
ReplyDeleteA Twigs and Honey headpiece will look so beautiful on you.
Uh-oh! And hey, that price really can't be beat.
