I don’t know how the unbelievably talented makers on Etsy make a living charging such reasonable prices for such gorgeous things. Like this little piece of custom-made magic from Hier Apparel, for example. $150!? Sold.

The fact that I was in London last fall and didn’t buy a single yard of Liberty of London floral fabric has been haunting me on a daily basis. Today, it came in the form of this adorable dress from Nadinoo. The shop has so much cute stuff I’m thisclose to ignoring the exchange rate and going a little bit nuts on it. (via Scoutie Girl)

Another dress & a poster combo…and once again, I want them both like crazy.

The “Behind The Curtain” section of katespade.com is my favorite part of the site-partly because I’m safe from going on a spending spree, but mostly because it’s so neat to see how they develop the picture perfect aesthetic that they do. Right now, there are some great videos and photos of the making of their recent print campaign, and it’s gorgeous. Duh.

I love live music and am partial to dresses, so I think I’ll try to combine these forces of good in more posts in the future. This poster and this dress just look like they belong together, preferably in my apartment.
