all about rolling your pant legs up

stuff for your girl

You always know Spring has arrived when you see girls wearing skirts and dresses. There’s nothing quite like strolling through the city on that first really nice day of the year. It generally takes everyone by surprise, and girls, you never disappoint.  While we may have a few more months before this happens in the midwest, it’s still fun to dream, right?

One good thing about getting her a skirt now? Even if it’s a little chilly out she can rock those tights she loves underneath it. The Charlie skirt from dace is a classic highwaisted number that will make her look like a fashion editor or a beautiful assassin.

Skirts often get overlooked in the arsenal of gifts for your girl. The Las Cruces skirt by SnoozerLoser hits all the right notes. It’s the perfect length and pairs with an oxford equally as well as it would a tank. There’s something about the way she bounds down a sidewalk on a sunny day that makes this skirt perfect for her, isn’t there?

BirdBarrette

Is she that perfect level of disheveled where she has to push back that tendril of hair that always gets in her way when she’s sketching? Headbands, feathers, barrettes, girls can pretty much put anything in their hair and make it look awesome.  Give her SnoozerLoser’s  Metal Arrowbird barrette and while her hair will be held in place, don’t worry, she’ll develop another adorable idiosyncrasy for you to silently admire.

I’m beginning to think Sonia from SnoozerLoser has a secret door into a hidden world full of dreamlike oddities and girls who like the Pixies and Gang Starr. This bird cage necklace is so so cool. If she picks this out on her own, go buy a telescope so you can see in person how the planets, stars, moons, and sun all aligned just so you could meet her.

    This man just started to wax poetic on us. Pixies and Gang Starr, I’m feeling you on that. Spring is nearly here, that means more head turning opportunities for the ladies. Aren’t we lucky?
