my very first decent flower arrangement, in my humble opinion! mums, carnations (yep!) and freesia. total cost $25 (including tax) using flowers from whole foods and save on foods. could be cheaper if i travelled further for less expensive flowers. my goal is to assemble arrangements with cheap store-bought flowers! a while ago i watched a video series on eddie ross' blog about arranging flowers and it really helped me.
it's a short arrangement in a clear square vase that i wrapped with ribbon so the stems aren't visible.
we watched the fantastic mr. fox, which was great! it really wasn't a movie i was dying to see, but i was surprised i enjoyed it so much.
i spent much of the weekend trying to figure out some key things i need in my wardrobe. i really need more 'core' items that i can just throw on and not think. i tend to make foolish purchases now and then.
this joseph blazer should definitely be a staple in my wardrobe:
no.6 shearling aviator boots
i really need a warm pair of boots for next winter (shearling lined!) and it doesn't hurt that they're cute and not absurdly priced.
i hope everyone had a great weekend, an enjoyable valentine's day and happy chinese new year!

beautiful job on the flower arrangement.
those two items are great.
i've got a firma blazer that i think is a bit too long for me (falls past the hip) and may need to get a shorter one. also looking for a shorter jacket, as my humongous coat is frightening people.
also, your arrangement is great! it's so pretty. your home must be so beautiful.
perfect blazer...it would be a great wardrobe staple. it's similar to my Theory jacket, only it doesn't have the tux collar.
love my no. 6 boots (without the shearling). maybe next year i'll get another pair for extra warmth.
-h: thanks! normally they look like they were arranged by a child, and not in a good way!
pennerad- thanks! like anyone, my home is a work in progress!
styleodyssey- i love the shawl collar on the joseph blazer- so le smoking!
erica- oh good, i'm glad they're comfy!
I'd love to see those boots in person. I've been on the vintage shoe train for a bit too long and need to something fresh. Oh NY has all the best stuff.
Nice flower arrangement too! Perfect mix of texture and colour.
you would love those no. 6 boots! i just got a pair w/o shearling and they are perfect. order 1-1.5 sizes up!
