I Don't Wanna Wait in Vain for Your Love

I have loved Agathe Bjornsdatter for almost four years now. About a year and a half ago, she went through a divorce and a subsequent (and extended) absence from her blog. My heart has been, and remains, completely broken. Her style is the stuff of mythological heroes. She dabbled in everything fearlessly and, therefore, flawlessly. Fortunately, six months after her disappearance she re-enabled (but not posted anything new) her blog and I took the time to painstakingly sift through some of my favorite posts. There are over 25 pictures in this post. Excessive, I know.
However, think of it this way:
Agathe is like a finely aged port or, perhaps more appropriate, a modernist art gallery. Always elusive and compelling, but each picture deserves care and attention unto its own. Enjoy this post slowly and you will love her as I do.
Edit to Add: I am so sorry. I raved on about Agathe and then forgot to hyperlink her blog. Here it is stylebytes

























I Know... I'm Bored with Myself Too


The usual color combination that I employ for those particularly annoying times when the season is coming to a close and I am radically uninspired. Blech!!

I was Picked up at Ross by a Cowboy


...who I suspect might actually be gay. Most of the time, I'm pretty comfortable with being single, but it's moments like those that I desperately wish that I had a boyfriend or girlfriend to defer to. I suppose I could have lied, but I'm a terrible liar and I ended up giving my phone number out, simply because I can not say no thanks. Anyway, it was surreal.
The weather is feigning Autumn, but tomorrow will be warm again. I took the opportunity to slip on my favorite pair of leggings that I have been fantasizing about for the last two months. I have a feeling it’s going to be a two outfit day because of all of the new shoes I have acquired lately.
I love these photos (and clearly went a little photo crazy) because I'm obsessed with the shady looking self-serve car washes that spot my area of town.

On Target


This is what I wore while hunting for dog food, because my dog apparently has a brand that no one carries. I'm also sick (for real this time), but so far it's a pretty manageable cold. Still not my favorite thing in the world, but unavoidable nonetheless.
