bloesem kids Wear Neon.

Irene and her friend Vivien have started a little line of sparkly treats for little ladies. Adorable!

And don't forget about my Chevron Necklace giveaway over at Maureen's blog; it closes Sunday night!

I wood wear this.

Well, wooden you?

A Little Exchange.

Last week I received a wonderful package in the mail. Lenneke, designer and proprietress of shop and blog A Little Hamster in the Netherlands, sent me a sweet, delicate braided bracelet from her shop as part of the exchange project she is doing with other jewelry designers around the globe. Thank you Len... I look forward to wearing this all summer!

Chevron giveaway!

I hope you'll check out the giveaway that the lovely Maureen is hosting on her fabulous and fun blog, Mo Pie, Please... In celebration of her 200th follower, you could win one of my Chevron necklaces! Congratulations on hitting a double century, Maureen!

Skirting the issue.

I have a feeling we're in for a steamy summer here in New York... I'm thinking wearing this breezy skirt along with my new H&M Hasbeens* will be a great way to try to beat the heat (or at least tame it down a bit).

*That is, if I can learn to walk in them without almost falling four times in one day like I did on Friday.

Petal hearts.

Beauty even in decay. Ranunculi, my favorite, post-bloom.
