saddles and spectators

i left this video alone for a few months and then watched it 8 times in a row again today. 



which leads me to these shoes:

asymmetrical spectator shoes that they all wear in the video.  they're by george esquivel and i doubt i'll ever find them in vancouver. 

speaking of vancouver, i've been debating getting a pair of bass saddle shoes.  i tried on a pair at gravity pope but after getting a good closeup view of the esquivel ones on the website i don't think i want these anymore:

family pictures

my cousin just scanned a giant pile of family photos.

this one of my aunt from the 80's is totally ace. there it is again, a red scarf on a hiking trip. i am totally going to copy her entire outfit. her boots even match her sweater and scarf.  PACIFIC NORTHWEST 4EVER.

a peace treaty

meticulously and exquisitely hand embroidered by 200 widows in afghanistan. 

my favourite scarf is a peace treaty scarf.  i have a feeling it will last me the rest of my life. 

i think that first one pictured will be a gift to myself when i find myself employed again. 

by a peace treaty.

yes please!

grey or navy stripes?  i like them both :)

shorts weather

i think i'll go try to find a new pair of denim shorts today.  i have two pairs:  one's too big and one's too small.  this length and wash by masscob would be perfect. 

photo monday: pacific coast trail

i found these images via needsupply via jakedavis. 

i think the shift to synthetic fabrics in the self-propelled outdoor universe has also meant a shift towards totally ugly hiking apparel. these vintage photos are tempting me to go backpacking with cotton shorts and t-shirts and striped wool sweaters and a red bandanna tied around my neck, which would be awesome for the massive amounts of sweat i make.  the cotton... not so much.  

He says, "It's so interesting how they're all wearing a uniform in their own unique way and the whole scene feels like a lookbook"... "It's real and has absolutely nothing to do with fashion. I think that's why I like it so much..." See the rest of the photos here.

i don't like pants

which is why i like jumpsuits.  

 

free people ever sequoia romper, tannis hegan rectangle bag, zeha berlin john land boots. 

i already have a tunic that kind of looks like this, except it's kind of stiff.  i'm not really a green person but i like seafoam.  also, i like seafoam with burgundy.  i don't think i would wear all these things together if i owned them all, but it could probably work that way.

a pair of tights i would like to own.

westcoast this with that

I would like to have this draped-front grey hoodie by makool.  And I would wear it at a weekend at Treehouse Point. 

 

walk in the woods

i feel like this Shopbop lookbook has my name written all over it and makes me want a pair of worn-in brown leather lace-up oxford boots even though i've never been able to fit my legs into a pair so slim.  look at it!  military style jackets, lumberjack plaid tunics, boyfriend jeans, and shorts with tights!

migh-T

If i knew where to buy this, i would and i would wear it every day next to jocelyn in her galaxy tights :)

winning the lottery

when i win the lottery i will buy these leggings and wear them every day!

jumpsuits

i love jumpsuits.  one-pieces.  rompers.  whatever you want to call them.

i had two goals for my christmas party outfit this year.  it would've been one or the other.  the first was the find something to wear with red tights.  the second was to find something to wear with my friend's mom's burgundy heels from the 70's.  i have achieved the latter.  yay!

stella mccartney for gap kids

marcia, we each need to produce a baby by november so we can buy some veggie-friendly clothes and shoes for them by stella mccartney.  

too bad it had to be a partnership with The Gap, the most boring place on the planet. but that probably means it'll be more affordable than regular stella mccartney items. i prefer her adidas line, anyway, which lies somewhere in the middle of the affordability spectrum.

hunting wabbits

speaking of shooting animals in the woods with your dog pals, i passed by the Roots store on 4th avenue today after my physio appointment and briefly saw this jumper in the window on a mannequin, styled with a jacket and a purse and possibly a pair of jeans. 

i was upset i couldn't find it on the website, but then i realized i wasn't looking in the right category.  it's actually a nightshirt but it was styled very cleverly as something wearable during the day. 

and damn rights i'd wear this during the day.  nightshirt my ass.  most of you know i love things that look like aprons, potato sacks, tunics, military uniforms, maternity wear, or all of the above.  this one covers a few of those categories so i might go back and try it on in the next few weeks.  i would wear it with jeans or tights and a cropped jacket.  and a big scarf. 

also, 3/4 length sleeves!  the secret window to my heart!

i like these two vintage finds from the sally jane vintage etsy store:
