I haven't done a fashion-y post in a long time. So here are some beautiful things, just for the sheer fun of it.

First off, this beautiful handmade sweater from Primoeza (found at Anais-- the picture is from Metrode's blog). It may be spring where you are, but it was actually snowing this morning and was 38° F when I went grocery-shopping in the afternoon. I could probably wear this until June. I'm not kidding.

Love these shoes. They are from Alexander Wang, pre-Fall 2011:

Perfect red wallet. From comme des garçons:

from Dover Street Market.

And I'm still obsessed with rings. Right now, it's this hammered silver band with a flush-set stone from Etsy artist 2TrickPony. I'll take the oxidized one with the raw diamond. 

I've been following Building Block blog for quite some time. This young industrial designer has been playing with leather and experimenting with bag designs for a while; she now has a small line of beautiful bags that are available in a few shops. Pour Porter is one of the first to carry them:

and while you're over at Pour Porter, check out her blog. She asked me to do a guest post for her last year and it was a lot of fun.

Pretty things

I have been drawn lately to pure extravagance (for my budget, anyway), so I've refrained from posting pretty things to avoid enticement.

But as Oscar Wilde famously said, "I can resist everything except temptation", so-- bring it on.
