Happy Christmas to me/I am turning into my mother

The Christmas celebrations this year were great.  I had four Christmasses this year, as opposed to the one I am used to.  That basically made it four times as much fun.  One in Tulsa on the 25th, one in Oklahoma City on the 26th, one in Duncan on the 27th, and one in Claremore on the 28th.  It was relaxing and nice.  I'm thankful that all the families I spent the holidays with are so laid back.  Makes holidays so much more enjoyable.  Also I consumed more meat in those four days than probably the last four weeks!  (Plus someone very special got me a binary wall clock and some moccasin booties and the grey Stars + Small Stakes print!)

Before the holidays, I ordered some things from the Land's End Canvas line.  I suppose it's a bit of a rite of passage to make a Land's End or LL Bean purchase on your own accord - I guess that means I am a mature adult now.  But my excuse is that the Canvas line is less Lands-End-y than their regular line.  I think that makes it okay.  Or at least that's what I'm telling myself!

Black leggings (I am on the search to find the perfect pair of black leggings, and these are pretty close to it, plus they are only $9.99 right now - they fit well and have a high waist, which I like)

 

Suede shearling boots

How can one company make SO many awesome shirts?  These are all right up SVC alley.

Hurley + Pendleton = AMAZING

I love Pendleton.  Their blankets are awesome and I love combining southwest and Native American prints with more modern, Scandinavian design, like this:

Typically, Pendleton clothes look like this:

And typically, Hurley clothes look like this:
(hi sk8r)



But when the brands combine, it looks like this:



Wow.

Hubble photos, and the things they inspire

Okay, so I know that these photos aren't entirely accurate when it comes to their actual color (for more info on that, read this). But, these representations of stars and galaxies are amazing and beautiful!







Check out this Hubble-inspired tie-dye design inspiration from Shabd! So pretty!





















All of Shabd's stuff is super expensive, but there is a line of Shabd Baggu bags that won't entirely break the bank. I got mine in the mail yesterday and I love it, even though it's not inspired by space pics.

Keeping my fingers crossed

Anthropologie is coming to Tulsa in a few weeks and I am pretty excited!

The only thing I'm upset about was the fact that they messed with the original building. Anthro went in where Harolds used to be and they took out the wisteria vine over the main entrance. What is more Anthropologie than wisteria that's been around for 50 years?!

Anyway, here are some things that I'm hoping will be at our store:
