Oh, These Are So Me - Branten of Sweden

I've discovered a fabulous Swedish online store that ships all over the world FREE! Not only that but the clothes are fabulous.Branton specialise in fashion that is different and each and every item here is ME. I want them all and I intend having them all very soon. I will have to go now and have a coffee and calm down.

Kabuki Eyeliner

For an instant hit of swinging '60s style, you can stock up on baby-doll smock dresses and patent platform boots, or you can simply head straight for your bathroom cabinet. Artfully made-up eyes were the beauty focus of many a fall runway show (think Cleopatra meets Twiggy), with liquid liner emerging as the makeup artist's secret weapon of choice. Neater than smudgy kohl, it allows for razor-thin lines that amp up the drama without overwhelming the face. The only caveat? Be sure to let your eyes, and eyes alone, do the talking—anything but a subtle nude mouth may leave you looking more Las Vegas showgirl than mod London youthquaker

Ornaments

We pulled out the ornaments this weekend which is always fun. there's always something you forget you had and always a surprise to find. i love the vintage glass bulbs we had as a kid and have been lucky enough to have e's collection. but thought it would be fun to look for some new ones while i'm out and about. so this first one is from anthropologie. such a cute little squirrel and hand made by chika mori out of cotton felt.

winter on the way

With winter on its way the Sweater Girl Tote by Rafe has caught my eyes a few times at Anthropologie. I like the tassels and the metal hardware against the contrast of the grey knit and black leather.
More from Anthropologie:**Although its not shown on the web site I've seen the Wise old Tote and the Big Love Tote on the Sale racks.**Not bag related, I picked up the Spray Can Skirt recently which should keep me warm (and colorful) all winter long.

I grew up sleeping on a pair of vintage Marimekko sheets, which is a fact I could only recently appreciate. The sheets had giant flowers in shades of yellow and orange, similar to these but with more orange. So last year when I was shopping at Crate and Barrel for new sheets I instantly gravitated to theMerimekko Kukkula linens in taupe. Similar to my childhood sheets but in a more muted color/botanical print and easy to launder, I've become a huge fan of Marimekko.
So imagine my surprise when flipping through the latest Anthropologie catalog I saw Marimekko bags, especially the Pictograph Totewith a black background and white horses. And there are even more bags at the Marimekko site. My favorites are Maple, and Opaali with blue dots.
