Black Sox

I am going to just come out and say it: I like this sock look.

Taken to the Cleaners

This is our other new Moroccan rug. New-to-us, but antique. I sent off both rugs for a cleaning--the place I used actually washes them and hangs them up to dry. They are back and they are so much cleaner, you can see it. They even removed a stain (visible on the middle left side of the photo) that the guy who sold them to us said would never come out. This one is creamy and fluffy like a lamb now. I honestly don't know if they had ever been cleaned before.

Obsession of the Moment. Brass & enamel cuff from St. Kilda. Done.

p.s. she also has an awesome blog.

Luv

J.Crew's not-subtle-at-all copycat machine is still running at top speed, in case you hadn't noticed. And I'm still mad at it.

A new cute yet bland sweater from the Crew (weirdly styled with a red shirt underneath it):



Its older sister, from Sonia Rykiel, who basically invented the intarsia heart:



J. Crew, I love you but you're bringing me down.* Please stop diluting the original great designs and selling them to the masses.

Shop-o-Matic

I'm introducing a new regular feature, Shop-o-Matic, where I'll point you to unique finds across the interwebs. Let's face it, Christmas is practically around the corner, so here are some items that might be perfect for someone you know.



First up, we have a signed check circa 1982 from Eddie Van Halen. I mean, who wouldn't want this? Available right here from Julien's Auctions, my new favorite website. Also included in the lot is a check signed by Valerie Bertinelli Van Halen for a $27 cable bill. It just doesn't get better than this, folks. Starting bid only $200!



Another priceless gem is Elvis Presley's karate blackbelt 1974 card. Thank you Julien's for bringing the magic. Again, the perfect gift for anyone: friend, mother, brother, lover!
