Sunday Remix

It's been awhile since I shared a remix, but I'm going to try to bring them back (for awhile anyway). I acquired this adorable PJ by Peter Jensen sweater over the summer and wore it rather immediately with shorts, since then I've enjoyed styling it as we transitioned into fall and winter. This remix (and the others to come) also rather serves as a hair diary; I've posted the pictures in chronological order so you can see how what was once long is now quite short...

Scarf Saturday

I posted on Snoozer Loser before, but it's been more than a year since then and their f/w 2011 scarves are too good to not share. Snoozer Loser is an eco-conscious brand based out of New York using organic cotton, vintage fabrics, and manufacturing all of the pieces locally. The scarves are handpainted with eco-friendly pigments and feature the most delightful patterns--from antique scissors to folksy unicorns. They're quirky without being overdone and come in a variety of colors that will blend seemlessly with your winter wardrobe.

Dust Off Your Dancing Shoes

Vigil Strange I Kept On The Field

The base I live on is rather small and not largely populated, but still it can be hard to find a quiet spot free of troops drilling, or people fishing and walking their dogs; I'm even leery of the occasional hunter. So, it was nice to discover this field without fences where no one else seems to go that I can wander in quiet privacy. It's wonderful to be alone in nature as the sun is setting--just to watch the light shift and see birds wing across a golden turning pink sky. Soon cooler weather will drive most casual visitors and noisy birds away. Last year I felt as if the beach near my house belonged to me, as I was the only one who claimed possession of it when it was twenty degrees and the wind was whipping hard against your face. No other footsteps followed mine when I cut a path across it in the snow on a bright December day. Soon, I hope to claim small corners of this base as well--places where no one else will venture once the temperatures drop, but still hold beauty to me.

Dancing Threads

Once A Vision From The Woods

It's actually been a couple of years since I've seen such gorgeous fall foliage. In Washington it rained so much that almost everything stayed green and most of the trees in near my home weren't deciduous. Then last fall we lived near the beach and while we certainly experience the chill of fall weather with wind and snow, the land was flat and once again colorful greenery was sparse. Now, driving down quiet roads while the trees seem to flame around me is a quiet pleasure.
