Marimekko

Marimekko has made me want to move/visit Finland (Maybe visiting would be more practical...). There's a store in Cambridge (Called Finnish Line haha love) that sells their stuff & I got a giant piece of awesome fabric for curtains:


It's called "Kaiku" and it's awesome, but I don't know how I'm going to cut it to fit my window...












and i love these ones too:



The bear one is called "Unessa" by Jenni Tuominen and the pears are from the 60's and then were re-released in 06 & are by Maija Isola. I totally want pear curtains!!!!

american eagle has something i LIKE?????

So in my past experiences with American Eagle, they have been the suburbianite-outfitting blah chain of nothing-funness.

I have bought, in my life, 2 camis, 2 pairs of jeans (one of which is now worn super thin and has giant holes and one of which I never, ever wear and should really throw away but I feel guilty and sad because I spent $40 and wore them maybe twice?), and a polo, in a fit of 13-year-oldness. Oh, and I have a long sleeved striped T that was a present. So, not my fave store.

Then I saw this bag (on men's clearance for $40)

and I thought: wait, hey, that's awesome! I wouldn't be caught dead with it if I were a guy, and maybe I'll rip off that obnoxious brown tag that clearly says "AE Outfitters" in the middle, but this is awesome!!

Clearly their men's stuff is way better than their women's.

And maybe I'll go order that and pretend to be a British hunter in a hunting lodge in the English countryside? Just maybe...
