Thanks to Somlynn Rorie, Managing Editor for Phoenix Picks , and the blogger behind the The Ugly Earring for sharing her lustworthy wants and the reasoning behind her latest Darling wish list.
I’m longing for a cross-breeding of origami and poetry in my imaginary closet, and some jewels only a taxidermist would love. In other words, fill my closet with yojhi yamamoto, some avant-garde tailoring and vintage Halston and I am one happy girl. The following are quintessential pieces to wear when pondering heavy thoughts with a pitcher of iced lemonade, a shady corner and the Waste Land by T.S. Elliot.

- If a gal can’t rock a turban than she must own a hooded cape. It’s a rule. (click for KRELwear)
- Oh, the webs we weave and the stories we tell when the gray hair starts coming in. I think of this piece (click for Coquito) as an introduction into maturity…when the stories we are most fascinated with are the stories we’ve already woven with our own hands. I can only hope my webs are as amazing as this lovely piece.
- Wearable art that sculpts and shapes the body; highlighting and subtly hiding the unconventional curves of the female form. Plus, it’s a brooding piece but not in that Victorian, goth way. (Click here for Zsega)
- For the vegan at heart, a faux bone pod wring. Organic, eye-striking, and nothing you would ever find at your neighborhood strip mall. The perfect everyday jewel. (Click here for Emily Watson)

Sometimes you have to think outside of the obvious…sure, it’s a baby pouch sling but how amazing would it look as a kimono wrap belt? Or how about if it’s layered over a tank top as some kind of jersey-knit, warrior chest-plate?
And that color orange—it’s the perfect complement for an all gray or black ensemble. (Click here for Bronwen)

I met the poet Allen Ginsberg during a time when I was really into the Beats and Kerouac. Unfortunately, he was more interested in the darling boy with the side part standing in line behind me after his reading.
I wonder, had I been decked out with these beatnik-fabu trousers by Laura Dawson, would he have said something more like this to me: “those are great slacks you are wearing.” (Click here for Laura Dawson)
