I grew up in New York City, so my understanding of nature and all its parts is somewhat limited. However, I do have an appreciation for fresh air, woodland creatures, and those $100 candles that smell like ‘soggy moss’ or some crap. Topping my nature list are squirrels, or as I like to call them, “Glamour Rats”—their wariness, constant fidgeting, and hoarding compulsion are things I can relate to…also, beautiful big brown eyes. My fascination with them led to the start of a collection, and though you’re not going to find me feeding them leftover hot dog buns in the park (at least not for another ten years), you may see me searching online for squirrel related items that don’t make me look like a crazy person. This week I found some new favorites, starting with the perfect, understated squirrel print dress.
