What I Want To Look Like Right Now: Uber Hot & 5 lbs. Thinner

$39 dollars for a dress that is:

a) red
b) sexy
c) and makes you look thinner?

Sold.

What strikes me most about this dress is not that it has shape enhancing seams built in to give you a sleeker silhouette but that it is so easily worn: for work you could throw a jacket over it and maybe a silk scarf, tights, and boots to cover up a bit more if you need. Come 5:00 p.m. swap out the extras for a pair of metallic open toe pumps and dangly earrings and you're ready to par-tay.

I love it. Find it at Newport News.

She Blinded Me With Science.

I've tried to curb my Etsy expeditions because it's just too easy for me to go overboard.

Well, the embargo's off. Who's to blame?

Suzanna Scott's shop Sushipot.

Suzanna says her inspirations "come from things old, chipped, cracked, worn, dusty, used, found, buried, designed, loved, pieced, intricate, aged and transfigured."

I. LOVE. HER.

She makes a variety of decorative objets that I totally drooled over but I thought I'd share a few of her whimsical pendants:



Creepy, crawly, cool -- this is how I like my bugs.



Some people where their hearts on their sleeves. I'd rather wear a stomach around my neck.



I'm not sure what this is a diagram of but I think I would feel like some irresistibly cute lab geek the moment I put it on.
