It’s spring in the wonderful forest of Oregon and you know what that means…bugs are everywhere! While cycling along the awesome Forest Park trails I am sure to breathe through my nose, and even though I wear glasses I still take one to the eye now and again, how do they manage to do that! In celebration of our insectoid friends and nemesi I picked out this lovely shirt from the designers SquidFire. Hopefully it will repel them rather than attract more.
With the late arrival of spring, and the upcoming summer season my wardrobe thoughts have turned to finding the perfect layering hoody. Something stylish, lightweight, and with a hood for the inevitable rainy days of the Pacific Northwest. It seems that Athleta has just the hooded layer for me – the Seashell Hoodie sweater. Added bonus – nearly every single customer review on the site mentions the extra long arm-length of the garment. I personally come from a family with , so this important detail suggests a sweater that may actually fit and sleeves that will actually cover my arms all the way down to my hands. Yay for gibbon sleeves! Knit of organic cotton in a semi-sheer crochet, choose between Asphalt (pictured below – dark grey), Limoncello (yellow), Sailcloth (cream), or Clear Blue. They also offer the sweater in a great number of sizes – from XXS up through XL, and even 2 plus sizes. A full zip, hooded sweater with beaded drawstrings and slightly belled sleeves. I love the soft, airy look of the open weave crochet, and the suggestion of seashells inherent in the pattern.
I like the charming foxes portrayed on this women’s v-neck shirt – they are snappily dressed, upbeat and perhaps even a little smug in spite of the rainy back-drop. A sweet 3 color print on a grey ladies v-neck, you’ll be pleased to know Fuzzy Ink screens their merchandise by hand. The tee is composed of 25% cotton, 25% rayon and 50% polyester, and can be purchased in sizes xsmall through xlarge. If you like the foxy couple but want – they’ve got you covered. Also available on a . On Nighttime Nuzzle t-shirt sales Fuzzy Ink is donating $5 of the purchase price to the , a mustache promoting, men’s health supporting group.
I am smitten with these sweetly charming gold-tone bumble bee earrings! At a glance, these bees are simple and small, but with their flare-winged stance and stripey bottoms all captured in a bright gold-toned metal they pack a fashion wallop. Add a touch of steam punk bee-worship to your ensemble, and let all the drones discover who the queen bee is…The studs are constructed of gold-plate on nickel with gold-tone steel posts, and the bees are .25 inches in size and will arrive in a small gift box from Shana Logic.
