My Daily Covet: Beyond the Pale...

My best friend, Pat, used to tell me how he secretly sometimes dreamed of just dressing in white. I sometimes share a similar sentiment with the idea of surrounding myself with creams and whites.

1. 2houra
I am completely smitten with this graffiti artist's remarkable collection of animal-headed anthro-morphs. It's almost like Osiris, Isis and the gang went hipster.

2. Jorge Morales Fringe Bracelet
Consider me the first one to jump on the "everything fringed is awesome" bandwagon. This bracelet is so elegant, yet so utterly now now now.

3. Mara Hoffman Long Sleeve Wrap Sweater
Gloves? Check. Hat? Check. Oatmeal sweater with a cloudy Rorschach on the back? CHECK.

4. Mayle Tati Grand Tote
I do not think there could ever be enough houndstooth in this world to satisfy me. Me and my CD were just discussing how cheated ladies generally are of this wonderful pattern. This tote could find a happy little place in my life.

5. Girl in White by Altamira
I just discovered this new blog-photographer, and I am just eating it up with a spoon. This shot in particular makes me never want to wear anything that fits ever again.

6. Globe Pant by Kirrily Johnston
I want these like hot blueberry pancakes. My crotch is supposed to be near my knees, its the natural way of things.

7. Bandage Skirt
Dang - Barney's Co-op apparently yanked the link to this before I could post it, but nonetheless, the soft, gauzy layers of fabric over the no-nonsense black makes me a little week in the knees.

8. Wobble Chess Set
When I lived in Philly, I one of my favorite pastimes was going to the dive punk coffee shop down the street, playing chess and smoking cigarettes for hours. I no longer smoke, which is good, and I no longer play chess, which is rather not good. I think if I had this ultra-sexy chess set on my coffee table, I could be encouraged to play a lot more.

Finally, for a little video love: if you don't know Marnie Stern, you have been living your life with a gaping void in your soul. Her hot licks and surreal lyrics place me smack dab in my happy place. Enjoy...
