polaroids

Phillipe Roucou's line of polaroid silk scarves are brilliant. Unfolded they are images, tied around the neck they are abstract color blocks. Loving it.

for the bar

I am in lust with these vintage alcohol decanters. They come with silver plated nametags and are a perfect addition to a home bar...from twoartdirectors

up and coming?

Today I read in the Oregonian that Saks Fifth Avenue next to Pioneer Square Mall will be closing soon and looking to take its place is...wait for it...H&M!!! I've been hearing rumors of an H&M opening in downtown Portland and I couldn't agree enough that it would be awesome for us forever21 slaves to have some other choices out there. Although a little up the price scale, H&M makes great party dresses and accessories that can be affordable if you know what to look for. Also looking to set up shop is Spanish clothing retailer Zara. I think this could be the trifecta of cute clothing shops in Downtown. Now if only Sephora would open up a store-I still can't believe they don't have one here! They'd make a killing...just sayin!

wrapped and chained

If I ever wanted a watch (they annoy me too much!), it would definitely have some character, like this leather and chain watch at Shop Cuffs

twisted wonderland

Forever21 has just unveiled their new Alice in Wonderland themed collection for their limited-edition Twist line. Wonderland fever is everywhere right now thanks to the mediocre remake by Tim Burton.

The line takes inspiration from the dark, sinister qualities of the Tim Burton version (and perhaps the story itself-pretty creepy if you ask me!). Separately, the pieces are feminine, flirty with lace trims and appliques of keys and lockets, but instead of sickly sweet colors they are delivered to us in dark, off-key colors which I like.

Head over to Forever21.com to check out the entire line. If you like the pieces, you should hurry to your nearest XXI because the Twist pieces go really fast.
