exactly how

hard is it to find a robe that is:

- short (but not hoochie) - just above the knee is just fine
- all cotton (preferably supima or something else ridiculously soft)
- light gray or soft blue
- not crazy expensive

and NOT

- terry cloth
- velour/velvet
- with ugly ruffles
- rayon/other synthetic material

???

because i am having way too difficult of a time with this...


(this is so ugly i can't even believe i am posting this. but the sad truth is that this is out there. for copyright's sake - NOT so you can buy it, the robe is from here)

of course

i love these pet portraits.
she also does other wonderful non-pet work too...

{go see her etsy store here}

fantastic raincoat

as modeled by the fabulously chic c.m.


i really love this boden rainyday duffel coat and am sorely tempted. more colors here. but i think this navy filigree is by far the best choice.

think i might have to try ordering from boden now...


{sorry for the blurry phone photo!}

is just too sweet not to post.
