a peek inside my head

on a tuesday afternoon.... i'm not on the couch on the 18th floor. my hair is not in a ridiculous pouf pile atop my head (i'm just realizing as i write this that i walked my bf's parents dog with this hair. HOT). there is nothing particularly wrong with the sitcho here... but in my mind, maybe i just got it a little more together today...

let's have a lookie, shall we? ah yes, a cute utility dress from the Gap collection...good place to start. and since it's January, even in my head, a toasty pair of Plush fleece lined leggings (no - i'm not kidding. it's like god turned into a fashion designer) then, perhaps a gorgeous belt from Linea Pelle - probs from the vintage collection. and hey, it's not snowing in my mind, so i'll wear my fave suede booties! toss on a scarf or two from the closet, pile on a bunch of bracelets -- and i'm good to go. to another corner of my mind...

whatevs - more leather lover!

don't judge me ok? i can't help my leather fixation.

i have been completely and utterly OBSESSED with Linea Pelle belts for years. i got one at Century21, and it was love at first wear. (i would go on more about Century - but it's not really fair to those of you who aren't in NYC so i shall hold my tongue. you're welcome) the belts are perfection. they are what i would make for myself if i were a maker of belts... a beltiere-iste.
i have now acquired a couple (or few) more, as a girl might do... they're just friggin amazing.

last year(ish) - the line expanded to handbags. gorgeous. i wanted to use all caps, but i don't want to be that girl. but they are all cap worthy. OK? the leather is seriously butter soft - you cannot help but touch it - and the designs are a mixed bag (hahahahaaaaaaaa) of simple and cool.

and then - oh - i faint a bit... they added jewelry. we all know by now how i feel about leather jewelry. i enjoy it. let's say that. and these bracelets, they just make me feel happy on the inside. the same way a kitten would. or a puppy... it's just good stuff.

i suppose what i am trying to say is - "hey ladies (and dudes) - check out Linea Pelle!"
