I’ve been getting these adorable mini catalogs from Anthropologie for the past month chock full of dresses. So many dresses, in fact, that I’m totally craving almost every one. The whole collection is worth taking a look at, so many sweet looks. Total yum.
Heavenly Wrap Dress, $158. Morning Edition Dress, $128.
I’ve been searching through my bookmarks tearing through the archives of my former blog for this link for ages. Today, as I idly surf through my lunch break, I pop over to Domino‘s site and happen to see the contests. Figure I’d enter and lo and behold: the damned Smoking Lily link is staring at me, teasing me with the chance to win one of their lusciously illustrated shirts. Sigh. I’ve been loving this design duo for ages it feels like. Craving a shirt with a Chrysanthemum on it. Or a Dragonfly. Or a Dandylion. Go and see for yourself. Totally gorgeous. Glad I found them again.

Just got a lovely email from Hermès promoting rock n’ roll chic with their wonderful enameled bangles in a bold and beautiful typographic print. Love the stuff from them, always.
Enamel bracelets in silver and palladium plated. $570 and $440.
I saw the film, United 93 yesterday morning. I felt that it was very well done and although it still is a very sensitive recent event for many Americans, I urge everyone to see it. I keep thinking about it and cannot find the words to tell you all about this movie… Gripping. Powerful. Heartfelt. Paul Greengrass has made a film unlike any other. The film is largely unscripted and many of the personnel from the FAA and the US military who were working on September 11th are in the film, playing themselves. The families of the victims of the flights gave consent for the movie to be made and extensive research was done to find out as many details about each passenger, down to their clothing and what they may have been reading that day. Many of the flight attendants and the pilots are actual working attendants and pilots. The movie itself has not left my mind and thought I’d post it here today.
Edit: I read a wonderful review in today’s New York Magazine by David Edelstein.
Check in for Flight 93 at Newark International Airport.
Despite major roadblocks in production, Deepa Mehta’s Water is completed and slated for release in theatres this month. The story is about Hindu widows who live together in a “Widow House” in Varanasi during the time of Gandhi’s liberation of India. Widespread protests erupted in India, almost halting the filming of the production. Undeterred, filming was completed in Sri Lanka. So excited to see this.

Swati Argade is a trained dancer in Indian Classical Dance (holler!) and started out designing her own costumes, keeping in mind comfort and ease of movement. Her clothes are not fussy and the fabrics and cuts look so soft and comfortable. Totally feeling the trench coat. Then again, you know I’m a sucker for a good trench.
Sunny and unfussy.
