i've clearly been in a blogging lull lately.

but these looks knocked me clear onto my ass.

2009-11-03T04:20:00.002-06:00

ok so don't spoil project runway because i am two episodes behind. and i need to believe in my heart that carol hannah and logan made it to the very end so they could make thousands of babies.

but i am excited to come across carol hannah's etsy shop because i love this dress. also love this.

happy halloween.

after a successful halloween eve party, i had to pay my dues and work halloween night.

luckily i had etsy to keep me company.

these are bewitching, no?

who posted about this awesome skirt yesterday? actually, i saw the post yesterday but since i am 1,500 blog posts behind (seriously), who knows when it was actually written.

ok, i stopped being lazy and looked: helen hearts, of course.

ANYWAY. the skirt. wow.

2009-10-20T03:08:00.002-05:00

really excited to launch the second giveaway to coincide with the great calendar swap of oh-ten... from oddball press!

last year i featured their '09 calendar in my calendar roundup and was more than excited to have received it as a gift for christmas. so i was especially delighted to see they were carrying on the same theme this year. i love spying something new every time i look at mine.

now, don't you want to win one?

leave an e-mail address in the comments for a chance. good through the end of the day friday.

and thank you so much, oddball press!

delphine giveaway winner!

2009-10-20T02:01:00.003-05:00

so i really lost track of time, and well, monday's over. ... which means it's time to announce the winner of the first (yes, first) calendar giveaway of the year.

the winner of the 2010 delphine letterpress calendar is...

jenni has her head in the clouds of object of my obsession. congratulations, jenni, and thank you all for participating. stay tuned for more giveaway fun here and at design crush.

and BIG THANKS to delphine for offering such a beautiful calendar. really. beautiful.

p.s. kelly has managed to dig up even more pretty calendars for her calendar roundup no. 5.
p.p.s. i'm not even going to ask if you've signed up for the swap.

glasses.

2009-10-17T03:54:00.003-05:00

hello.

my name is caroline.

and i have an addiction to cheap glasses.

thank you and say hello to my newest additions. this time i ordered from zenni optical, which is supposed to be the best in the cheap glasses universe.

and my total cost this time? $35 for both pairs. and that's only because i went all out with the $4.95 anti-reflective coating for both.

i'm pretty sure i'll be obsessed with the top pair since they are so similar to my current pair. i'm more skeptical about the more boring black pair, but i liked the angular detail on the top corners.

i'll let you know.

2009-10-15T13:56:00.003-05:00

you have got to be kidding me because this is one amazing necklace. maybe i need to start a blog devoted solely to odd creature jewelry.

i won't lie... i'm already scouring ebay for an owl pendant whose head is just right. and, well, you know i like feathers.

p.s. how excited am i to see an eccentric accessories section on anthro?
