They have some really beautiful clothes for women, men and even kids! I was on a pretty tight budget for the film fest, but I did pick up a great black military style button down shirt for my boyfriend, and a terrific pair of wonderfully girly ruffled tulle sandals with ribbon ties!

Check out their site- it is run by a son and his mom who will unravel your old sweater and re-knit it into something new and useable, like gloves, a hat or scarf. March is already booked (she can only do about 30 orders a month), but she does this year round, so start planning now what you want re-purposed for fall! Every month is a specific item (gloves, hat etc) and visitors to the site get to vote on what the next reknit item should be!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/575212694855410848-2875949049275687060?l=acryliccandy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Courtney Spivakhttps://profiles.google.com/109308137944632368007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575212694855410848.post-36722037939096784122010-03-02T20:58:00.000-08:002010-03-02T21:16:26.444-08:00March is here at last! Spring is right around the corner...but if you live in a place like Michigan, winter last a really long time! And near the end of the season, your sweaters (which might've been pristine and new in the fall or at Xmas) may look, well, a bit mangy. Those little annoying pills! My favorite Topshop sweater has a nasty case of pilling already, and I just bought it in December! Or worse yet, the wool sweaters may end up moth eaten before next year! So before you put your sweaters away ( or mix them in with your awesome new early spring pieces) here are a few things you may want to pick up to keep those sweaters looking fancy and new-<br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/S43uH__yYJI/AAAAAAAAAGk/cw7SkkSfOmo/s1600-h/fabric+shaver.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 260px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/S43uH__yYJI/AAAAAAAAAGk/cw7SkkSfOmo/s320/fabric+shaver.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444269345766269074" border="0" /></a><br />Whitmore fabric shaver , $14.99, <a href="http://www.target.com/Whitmor-Deluxe-Fabric-Shaver/dp/B000LRFNVS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;frombrowse=0&amp;searchView=grid5&amp;refinementHistory=subjectbin%2Ctarget_com_age%2Ctarget_com_gender-bin%2Ctarget_com_character-bin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&amp;searchNodeID=1038576&amp;field_launch-date=-1y&amp;searchRank=target104545&amp;keywords=lint_shaver&amp;searchPage=1&amp;field_browse=1038576&amp;searchSize=30&amp;field_keywords=lint_shaver&amp;field_availability=-2">Target</a> (online only)- no more ball-y sweaters!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/S43u4yIxYGI/AAAAAAAAAGs/GLGtyaToey4/s1600-h/14418.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 260px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/S43u4yIxYGI/AAAAAAAAAGs/GLGtyaToey4/s320/14418.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444270183859445858" border="0" /></a><br />Cedar "moth balls", $3.99 each, <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/closet/clothingProtection/cedarNatural?productId=10008309">The Container Store</a>- an safe, pleasant smelling natural alternative to traditional moth balls (which smell bad and are poisonous!), that will keep the moths from snacking on your wool sweaters without that mothball stink!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/575212694855410848-3672203793909678412?l=acryliccandy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Courtney Spivakhttps://profiles.google.com/109308137944632368007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575212694855410848.post-63372971347197762322010-02-25T16:57:00.000-08:002010-02-25T17:29:26.122-08:00So, I recently had an opportunity to get in on a stay at a French villa (and fest passes)for the Cannes Film Festival this upcoming May- naturally I jumped on it!

But, now it is summer, and I'm giving it another try! So here is what I wore today in toasty sweaty michigan... a 1980's yellow and grey jumper (or onesie, playsuit... whichever term you prefer) I bought at Lost &amp; Found Vintage in Royal Oak. I think that the onesie/jumper will probably be my default fuss free summer outfit. I found a few other cute ones at <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/category.jsp?popId=WOMENS_WHATSNEW&amp;navAction=jump&amp;navCount=12&amp;id=W_COLL_ONESIES">Urban Outfitters</a>- <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/16310492_01_b?$detailmain$"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 431px;" src="http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/16310492_01_b?$detailmain$" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/16060618_30_b?$detailmain$"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 390px;" src="http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/16060618_30_b?$detailmain$" alt="" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/575212694855410848-4541001104201352475?l=acryliccandy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Courtney Spivakhttps://profiles.google.com/109308137944632368007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575212694855410848.post-17850240159418928152008-10-28T19:37:00.000-07:002008-10-28T19:39:04.418-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQfMsNtCzNI/AAAAAAAAAB0/bigPZ-9UMbE/s1600-h/ikat+dress.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQfMsNtCzNI/AAAAAAAAAB0/bigPZ-9UMbE/s400/ikat+dress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262399749570612434" border="0" /></a><br />ikat dress and cowboy boots.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/575212694855410848-1785024015941892815?l=acryliccandy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Courtney Spivakhttps://profiles.google.com/109308137944632368007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575212694855410848.post-1785743356714383512008-10-25T12:23:00.000-07:002008-10-24T19:25:21.610-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQKDOyCcOCI/AAAAAAAAABk/iIZsCFUyOfE/s1600-h/bw+striped+tee+blk+vest.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQKDOyCcOCI/AAAAAAAAABk/iIZsCFUyOfE/s400/bw+striped+tee+blk+vest.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260911604695578658" border="0" /></a>One of my many vests.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/575212694855410848-178574335671438351?l=acryliccandy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Courtney Spivakhttps://profiles.google.com/109308137944632368007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575212694855410848.post-43909785132264550792008-10-25T08:22:00.000-07:002008-10-25T08:57:52.171-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQM7OMauueI/AAAAAAAAABs/HxAI4NmLigQ/s1600-h/luck_black.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 291px; height: 295px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQM7OMauueI/AAAAAAAAABs/HxAI4NmLigQ/s400/luck_black.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261113904736418274" border="0" /></a><br />I am dying to get these fantastic paint splattered boots from <a href="http://www.olsenhaus.com/shoe_luck_black.html">Olsen Haus</a>- they are so wonderfully 80's!

What are they? They are pairs of shoes that, as the website describes it, are 'complimentary but not identical'. Sometimes the two shoes are just variations on the same design- for example, I have a pair of <a href="http://www.habitatshoes.com/see/camper/twins_cameo">Camper Twin Cameo flats</a> (pictured on my feet above) with a boy silhouette on one shoe and a girl's silhouette on the other, and when you put your feet together the two appear to be leaning towards one another (about to kiss?)- insanely cute! Another pair I found has a <a href="http://shop.camper.com/producto.xhtml">red star pattern</a> than overlaps the toes of both shoes . The best pair they currently offer is this pair of<a href="http://shop.camper.com/producto.xhtml"> brogue style</a> heels with skinny offset laces in tiny eyelets, which each share 1/2 half of a placket!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/575212694855410848-6705049062467171191?l=acryliccandy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Courtney Spivakhttps://profiles.google.com/109308137944632368007noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-575212694855410848.post-67465601221787581072008-10-24T18:35:00.001-07:002008-10-24T18:38:10.753-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQJ4WHcqaZI/AAAAAAAAABE/0DWF1HHFgU8/s1600-h/grey+t+straps.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w5IuMEsOwkA/SQJ4WHcqaZI/AAAAAAAAABE/0DWF1HHFgU8/s320/grey+t+straps.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260899636073884050" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: times new roman; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Well this is it- a place for me to share my favorite store links, discuss trends and most importantly, subject the world to pictures of my daily ensembles- enjoy!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/575212694855410848-6746560122178758107?l=acryliccandy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Courtney Spivakhttps://profiles.google.com/109308137944632368007noreply@blogger.com0
