I was just about to start research on supply chain management for class but my twitter update from The Cut interrupted me and now I am obsessing over the Where the Wild Things Are Collection by Opening Ceremony. Literally obsessing over all of it. Halloween is coming up and 10 minutes before my failed attempt at supply chain research, I was brainstorming costume ideas. My first brilliant idea was to be mummy in white Herve Leger bandage dress but this furry monster suit is making me think otherwise. I am not sure which the boys will like more. Anyway, here are the slightly more wearable pieces from the collection. The Hooded white Jacket with ears and paws is amazing!!!! NEED THIS ASAP but in black or purple because the white would get way too dirty. The skirts are genius too. I have been searching for a stylish furry mini skirt that doesn't resemble something I wore in 7th grade from Limited Too and these completely fulfill my craving. Thank you Opening Ceremony.

Would love a solid slab of raw quartz or onyx as a headboard but could not find one anywhere. I am guessing that would have to be custom made and would most likely cost a pretty penny.

Unlike the Pussycat Dolls, when I grow up I want to own an original blown glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. I was exposed to blown glass as a child because my parents have various pieces around their house that Stephen Nelson, one of our very talented neighbors, designed. There is one piece in particular that they have in the living room on the coffee table that I would stare at when I was little. My brothers would be outside shooting pellet guns at cans and I would be in the living room staring at the blown glass. Since first seeing blown glass I have always been fascinated. A Venetian glass chandelier by Chihuly would be amazing! Below are some remarkable pieces by Dale Chihuly.
