Tuesday's Links are Full of Grace

Okay, so it's Wednesday, but shhhhh. 

As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to post it on a "Tuesday" post. The new Orla Kiely- the spring/summer 2013 collection - is unbelievable. The clothes are fantastic  but the short film featuring the collection is what really got me. Part Virgin Suicides and part Lolita, with a generous dash of wistful 1950's Californian resort vibe and polished Carnaby Street style. Wholly perfect. 

Watch the entire, dreamy video, entitled Darlin', here. Here are a couple film stills of the gorgeous, Brigette Bardot-esque Hannah Holman being impeccably languid.  

And here are my favourites from the newest collection.

You can see all the looks here. 

Also, dear friends - do you need a smile today? Watch this and I'll guarantee you one.

TUESDAY'S LINKS ARE FULL OF GRACE

So....I know I said I was going to start writing every second day instead of every day, but you know what? I don't like rules. Plus, I couldn't resist posting these as soon as possible. These iphone cases, put out by Condé Nast, are perhaps the sweetest cases in existence.

Am I right??? See more cases here.
Also, take a minute to check out my new addition to the blog at the right hand nav, called "What I'm...."

See you soon! xoxox

MONDAY'S LINKS ARE FAIR OF FACE

Happy Monday everyone. Or Blue Monday, if Monday's aren't good for you, or if you just love New Order.
I'll admit that I think I bit off more than I can chew with this daily blogging business. Not because I don't love it or want to do it, but just because I need to collect material before posting, and I don't want to post links that I don't love just for the sake of posting links. So, I may start posting every other day, switching the day on, day off schedule so that it will go Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, then Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. Reasonable? I think so.
I went to a good friend's wedding shower this weekend and fell in love with her cute, bright red, scalloped retro dress. She told me she got it at an online store called Shabby Apple. Now, forgive me if this store is as well known as other retro-style online stores such as ModCloth, but I'd really never heard of Shabby Apple before yesterday. I spent the rest of the weekend drooling over their lovely retro clothes, jewelry and accessories. And their prices are very reasonable, so you can get a dress from every era you love.  Here's a taste of some of their wares.

   

Ok, see you Wednesday, Dear Readers!
