two of a kind


I love Stella McCartney. Her everyday woman design aesthetic, her amazing house in the English countryside (which you can check out in the November issue of Vogue), even her kids are adorable. This outfit is from her 2010 resort collection so it’s already ancient history in the fashion world, but this collections was one of my favorites. I love the sequined jumpsuit; the shoulders on the jacket are amazingly architectural and the silk wrapped wooden ball necklace is just pure fun!

A few days ago I was browsing the archives of one of my favorite blogs, Oh Joy!, and I came across Gretel, a web-based company that specializes in modern home accessories. There I found this little black porcelain Uni Container. It instantly brought this Stella outfit to mind. The bumpy surface of the jar reminded me of the necklace. This jar would make a great place to store random buttons or trinkets. And so, taking more inspiration from Joy, I paired them together and came up with these two of a kind. What do you think? Do you have an outfit that resembles the jar...or vice versa? Or some other two of kind? Let me know!
