Fall ing for it...

Oddly, right now the weather in this normally grey, whippingly windy and wet town - it's been one of the most summery weeks I can remember!  And, equally as odd, I am craving the cozinness of Fall!  Perhaps it's the following finds that have inspired such a spur....

HOW gorgeous....

I really love the drapey, cozy, casual, almost Navajo Chic looks of A/W every year...they excite me, and give me a sense of calm coolness too. SO in fact, does my lovely friend Kerri! (Kezza), we had (too much) wine last night and I always feel refreshed and renewed after being with Kez, she's just such a REAL and genuine person, and we always manage to talk and talk and talk and REALLY talk.  And on top of that, she's got such a quirky style, like no one else....

 and she makes sushi in hearts....

So, in other news....HAIR CHANGES!
In total contrast to the floaty/messy, and thrown together drapey styles I'm yearning after - I've gone and dyed my short bit of hair white, and I love it.  While I have decided to grow my hair, I'm stoked to enjoy it at every stage.  Queue, hair:

and we can't forget the button earrings:

and a lunching outfit:

werd.

Now, with that out of the way, I have news:  Will and I are NOT, in fact, moving.  Dissapointment? Yes.  Ability to turn it into a positive? Always.

Long story short: the lovely house I was crafting up and making a home has had a hefty offer put in for it, and Will has, wisely, chosen to accept it.  So, looks like someone else will have to make curtains to fit those big lovely windows!  I know it's a great sense of success for Will that he has worked so hard for, doing up the house, being patient, doing his research, etc.  and I am SO completely proud of him for it too - however, I can't help but have selfish feelings of dissapointment, if not feeling a bit crushed.  I was SO longing (and working towards) being SETTLED (there is no more suitable word).  Since getting back from my Canadian trip all I was feeling like doing was hunkering down for (at least) a year, feeling truly at HOME, and now....well, quite frankly my feelings of settling have been turned into those of unsettlement.  Things aren't so terrible though, we have sorted out our living situation, and it looks like we will be able to stay in this little house for a while longer.  I have decided, though, that even if staying here is temporary, I'm GOING to make it a home, not just a house.  I will continue being crafty, just HERE instead of THERE.  No matter what happens, I have health, love, and happinness around me everywhere, and I'll embrace all of that, and also think of things like how much that broken-sealed window would end up annoying me in that other house, and now it's someone else's problem! No matter how big my closet was going to be....

big love yo XO
