magazine monday: lucky, february 2011

love, love, love...

i love nicole richie & how her life
has brought her to the place she is now...
from wild party girl to creative mom & designer...
& while we probably wouldn't wear many of the same styles
(i believe she is at least 5 inches shorter than i am
& about 1000 times more financially enhanced)
i still admire her ability to
try different things
& choose the one that always makes her look so happy & comfortable
while still being stylish...


& i love her kiddos names, too :)

lucky does these 'city guides' in every issue
& they are so fun to look at...
even if the only city that they have ever profiled
that i could easily go to is portland :)
i always read through the descriptions of the shops

it might sound funny
but it really inspires me...
to know that i might (will!) have a shop someday...

& the hand drawn maps are just right...




i love that they did an article about
dying your clothes to make them work for each season...
love that bit of diy!
i will never do this...
not because it's a bad idea
but the box of brown dye that has been sitting
on my shelf for three years just said 'ahem!'



love love love the bows!
now if i could just cut the heels off of some of these...


i love bright primary colors...
so so much...
hoping i can find one like these on a thrifty journey :)
(& i really enjoy that preppy style right below the purses, too)



lucky has been doing these cool guides at
the end of fashion shoots
with ideas on how to 'get the look'
the artsy but symmetrical parts of my brain is in the love with them...
(& with that black & white shirt on the bottom row, too...
huh, black & white, who would have guessed? :)


i love lucky...
every issue is more fun than the one before!
& i'm not just saying that...
:)

ps
adore this hat...
