i'm so very excited about minor's new collaboration with an amazing local jewelry designer, Colleen Mauer. Colleen has won the Gaurdian's Best of the Bay designer of the year. She hammers and creates each piece by hand. Each star is unique and one of a kind. Made to order and available in 14K and sterling silver.

I have a crush on a boy

{boy | band of outsiders fall 09 collection via style.com}

I adore Scott Sternberg's fall 09 collection for Boy.  I have always loved the play of masculine/feminine and the tomboy look.  This particular line has that classic Hitchcock heroine quality that I find so appealing and sexy.  The proportions and textures are so cool.

p.s. I need those high heeled sneakers!!!
