WestJet Christmas Miracle

Seriously. Grab a tissue.

SMILE! It's Saturday!

And if this doesn't make you grin like a fool, I don't know what will.

TGIF. And shark cat.

All credit for finding this gem goes to Lu.

I don't know why a cat in a shark costume riding a Roomba makes me so happy, but it does.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Fitch the Homeless

In case you missed it, Abercrombie and Fitch's CEO made a really regrettable statement a few years back in an article with Salon.com. If you missed the original commentary, someone made a very cool graphic representation that sums it up nicely:

I have been living in a box for 2 months writing a monster-long novel draft (my 3rd since Christmas!), so I have no idea how this got resurrected recently (I'm assuming this douchebag made another asinine comment. Or possibly the universe decided to play fair for once and zap him karmically.) 

However it became news again, my two favorite responses are Ellen's "Fitch, Please" (because it's Ellen and she's HILARIOUS) and a savvy youtuber named Greg Karber, who shot a most excellent video campaign titled "Fitch the Homeless". 

Enjoy. 

A song in my head and a dress in my heart.

And a blog I adore.. But first, the song in my head. Do you watch the X-Factor?  Holy Amazeballs, Batman, I can't get enough of Carly Rose Sonenclar:

A fair portion of those 10 million youtube hits might be mine and my 3rd period class...we're all starstruck!

Nextly..I've got dress envy. Would you just look at this Colette Crepe?

Gorgeous, right?  Ok and summery, and I'm heading into fall, but I. Don't. Care.  I really want to sew a Crepe now.

This one is super cute too, love the Lizzy House fork fabric;

Frankly, I've been dreaming of this Crepe thing for a while now...ever since I noticed the dress Amy Adams wears in the final scenes of Leap Year was so similar in cut and style:

I had it all planned out in this post. I even still have the fabrics, prewashed and ready to go. Deep royal blue dotted swiss:

And a very-similar-to-the-original-dress chambray stripe:

All of which goes to show you...time has sped up way way WAY too fast this year and I plan way way WAY more than I will ever hope to accomplish.  Good thing the planning is fun.

I leave you with a blog I am loving right now, Miss Green.  She's adorable!  And has great style.

Happy Weekend!
