Emerald!
Yay! Pantone actually picked a perfect 2013 Colour of the Year: Emerald! (I might have gone with mint or peach, but I guess that's sooo 2012). But this is pretty much my favourite colour, so I'm good.

Homey
Peter and I were hoping to host some visitors over the weekend, so the apartment is still unnaturally neat and tidy right now. So here are some pictures.
The living room (with my family's dog, Mia, for the afternoon)

| Sniffing around. Conclusion: yes, I do in fact live here. |
And the sun room (or, the laundry room, I guess) - the best hangout spot in the apartment.
Orange! The table was repainted orange; thrifted Navajo-patterned rug, pillow cases, Hudson Bay throw.

| You need a wool blanket if you hang out in there! |

| The JR's sign - an old bar in Charlottetown until the 90's, I think - we found at the flea market. |

Bricolage
Outfits can take tinkering (or bricolage, merci Jacques Derrida) to get right. I was going to wear this yesterday, but I just couldn't seem to get the whole look to come together. Taking pictures helped me decide against the jeans, and - sigh - the beret. In the end, I threw on my dark indigo Rockstar jeans, as I often do, and went out the door. Those vintage Levi's and beret will have their day, they just need to wait for the right moment of bricolage to work them in.
+Thrifted vintage evergreen wool beret
+Thrifted vintage turquoise earrings
+ Mom's vintage brown scarf
+ Old Navy army jacket
+ Thrifted vintage waffle-knit thermal, made in Canada
+ Thrifted vintage men's Levi's
+ Payless grey almond-toe flats
Design-wise, you're also seeing
+ Huge gold sunburst mirror from How Bazaar
(one of a kind, I think, but they have lots of similar ones)
+My grandparents' vintage mid-century modern tweed couch
+Wicker Emporium orange throw pillow
+ Thrifted wicker "circle" table
+ Vintage pink & mint Hudson Bay Company mohair throw
(in the basket under the wicker table)
+ Upcycled wooden table, repainted in bright retro orange.
Cheers!

Milk & Amber Earrings of the Day
Earrings of the Day on Milk & Amber are these mismatched abstract bits and pieces. Sort of avant garde artsy, and a little bit Saved-by-the-Bell-theme-song (um, did I say that somewhere already? I basically encapsulate all 90's design in that one clip). It's earrings like these that make me wish I was more crafty/handy!

Milk & Amber Earrings of the Day
Well, it's past midnight, but I was originally going to write this about an hour ago. (Ends up Homeland is a pretty great show and we had to watch two episodes.) But I was going to say, it's October! Fall leaves! The Walking Dead! Gossip Girl! Toronto trip! Lots of good things. How about some pumpkin orange vintage straw hoop earrings to celebrate this great month?

Milk & Amber Earrings of the Day
I think everyone needs a little cobalt, cerulean, or azure in their life, don't you? This three-pack of funky 80's earrings ought to do the trick.

Coral skinnies
Just got these in the mail from Old Navy - they was just a great sale, got a dark indigo pair and a slouchy vintage-y lavender v-neck too - and now I'm trying to figure out what to wear 'em with. Grey? Big comfy sweaters? Other pastels? Button-ups? Can't wait to try 'em all!
