Gotta love SS

With all the hype surrounding fashion week and the Oscars, I needed a little break from the excess (hence the lackadaisical posting). Maybe it’s my job or maybe it’s the economy, but for whatever reason I was kind of overwhelmed by the juxtaposition of those two events and excess in general. That being said, I was really glad to see Slumdog Millionaire win Best Picture. I really loved that movie!

In an effort to recover from my new-found ambivalence, I spent my weekend relaxing with the fam, thinking about life, and watching Generation Kill (you have to watch this HBO series. It’s amazing). After a quick breather, I’m ready to jump back into my complicated life!

On that note, one thing that is never complicated is great style. That’s why you’ll love sarahseven’s adorable little Etsy shop. An independent designer hailing from Portland Oregon, Sarah is inspired by old Hollywood glamor, pearls, recycled fabrics, romance, nature, and lace, among other things. Her dresses are absolutely gorgeous and totally unique. Ever caring, 5% of all purchases go to charity!

Now that’s excess I can enjoy!
