return of the monochrome

What can I say? I love my blues and grays.

And you can't see them in the picture above, but I was wearing these earrings:

I bought them from Chantal deFelice at an art fair on our recent trip to LA. I was thrilled to find them; they're unlike anything I've ever seen before. It was also great to buy them directly from the artist -- she was so sweet and friendly (and was wearing an adorable dress!).

Check out her website and Etsy shop (and take a look at this print with the image from my earrings!)

I started watching Mad Men a couple years ago and was, of course, obsessed with the clothes. When school started, I got behind and lost track of which episodes I'd seen...until I realized, two days ago, that it's on Netflix Instant. Uh hell yes.

I stumbled upon these gorgeous photos of Christina Hendricks while hunting down clothing pictures...Joan is, to me, the best dressed of all the characters. Here are a few of my favorite oufits:

P.S. This Etsy shop has some lovely pieces that will definitely make you look (and feel) like Joan...namely this and this.
