Sea Salt & Pepper: Never Bored with Boden

Never Bored with Boden

I received the Boden USA lookbook yesterday and while casually flipping through, several summer pieces appealed to me. I am on a quest to find a short sleeve jersey dress, something quick and easy for those hot summer days at Spoleto—something like this print?

Or this?

But I digress. Once online I found a whole new type of community shopping. A world within a world. I was greeted by this fantastic opening page under a section titled, “Stuff and Nonsense”.

Could they have appealed to me in any greater way? Peonies & Parm?! My favorite things too! How did you know?

Oh wait, it gets better.

Need a few extra friends these days? Check out these custom zany creatures made from old Socks!

Got a little boy or Medusa complex? How about a snake?

Do you prefer to carry your pooch around in a side satchel?

Maybe Peter Pan has been following you and you can't get that ticking out of your head?

And for all the dog lover's out there-- go ahead!

I think I will start with the little crazy haired man up top. He looks to be about my speed!

What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something loose-knit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful, that comes into my mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through. I should like to come back after a year or two, and find that the collection had sorted itself and refined itself and coalesced, as such deposits so mysteriously do, into a mould, transparent enough to reflect the light of our life, and yet steady, tranquil compounds with the aloofness of a work of art. The main requisite, I think, on reading my old volumes, is not to play the part of a censor, but to write as the mood comes or of anything whatever; since I was curious to find how I went for things put in haphazard, and found the significance to lie where I never saw it at the time.

I grew up watching cooking shows instead of cartoons. I get whisks and pastry brushes in my Christmas stocking instead of traditional trinkets. My favorite thing to do is frost a cupcake. My undergraduate degree was in Theatrical Costume Design, which means I take pride in how I am presented. I own monogrammed wine glasses, and my own set of Italian Vietri China. I collect English tea cups, and love a good cucumber sandwhich. I shop at J.Crew and Banana Republic and I have traveled to over %9 of the world. This blog began as a travel log while I was abroad, however like most things in life-- plans are subject to change, so here's to good food and good fashion!
