Missoni for Target

This morning before work I braved the crazies and hit up target to check out the Missoni for Target Collection. The place was already picked over, and their website has been overloaded and down the entire day. In spite of the madness I did manage to

MARKET FINDS & NYC SHOPPING

While in New York I drooled over Marni, Matta, and ABC Carpet & Home. I picked up a dress at All Saints, perfume at Calypso, scored my fringe curtain at Pearl River Mart, and spent the rest of my cash at the trade show. The trade

NEW YORK EATS

The main event while in New York was eating as always. I seem to be hitting up places I've already been and only trying one or two new spots. Unfortunately this trip didn't include my usual trip to the French Diner, but there were plenty

back from travelling…

From Atlanta to New York to Cincinnati and back! Had a great trip, discovered new things, ate yummy food, and BROKE MY LAPTOP. I'm dying, and have to figure out how to get a new one asap! I'm really bummed, but I also really did need

IN THE SHOP * GUEST BOOK POSTER

For my best gal Cassi's wedding she wanted to do something other than the traditional guest book, so we started brain storming some poster ideas. Something well designed that could be framed and put on display in her home. I mocked up a few things

Home Improvements!

I've been wanting to share some photos from the new house, but we have been so busy this summer it's taking me a while to get around to it. We've been in the house just over 3 months now, and painting was first up on

Summer Shades

Eco-friendly shades from SHWOOD . I'd like to see these on myself or my guy. Fun, floral frames for the ladies. Find cheap ones here or splurge here. I'm also LOVING Victoria Beckham's collection. I'll take one of each please.

Lazy Summer

I'm not having one, but if I were it would ideally be spent in one of these beautiful hammocks.  We've been spending so much time getting the inside of the house fixed up that I am anxious to begin working on the outdoors. Without an

Gilt Taste

This is going to be dangerous. The Gilt Groupe has launched a new site called Gilt Taste, and it's full of beautiful photos, interesting articles and deals on artisan foods and products. The offerings include information such as where the product is from, use and

Pretty Patterns

I dream of a wallpapered room or even just a wall, but in reality it's probably not happening any time soon. These patterns are so fun and over the top. image source: Design For Mankind image source: Miss Print image source: Walnut Wallpaper image source: Aimee Wilder

PUPPY VIDEO!

I just can't get enough of this video! The little pup is growing up so fast, and his weight has already doubled. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-83ncegzeSk&feature=player_embedded]

ON THE BAR * Summer Cocktails

While in Baltimore, Maryland for a wedding this past weekend I had a cocktail that I can't believe hasn't crossed my lips sooner. The rehearsal dinner was held at Woodberry Kitchen located inside Clipper Hill. The interior was perfect, and we sat in this beautiful private

CUSTOM HOUSE NUMBERS

It's funny how when things become relevant to your life you start to notice them more. Lately when driving around I'm noticing fences for the dog and house numbers.The numbers on a house may seem trivial, but dim-lit streets and teeny tiny house numbers make

*New Pad*

I haven't had much time for posting since we are busy moving into the new home on Rockyford Road! Currently the house is in a state of chaos and my clothes in a pile. So many fun projects ahead, and I can't wait to get

new puppy and a new home!

This past Saturday I caved and Geoff and I got a puppy! Hendrix is a 9 week old Aussie Great Pyrenees mix, and he will probably end up being around 60-70 lbs! Tuesday we close on the new house in Kirkwood, and we are in the

Party * Streamers

Streamers three ways! Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day knows a thing or two about party streamers. I made her fringey streamers recently, and days later she was already giving another how to for Zig Zag Accordion streamers. I can't decide which one I like better, but

DFC MEXICO CITY

I can't believe I didn't think to talk about these guys sooner. I discovered DFC a couple of years ago at NYIGF, and they have the most insane things. The space and the guys behind DFC are a stand out amongst row after row of

PARTY * BRIDAL SHOWER PART 2

The bridal shower has come and gone, and it all happened so fast I didn't have much time for photos. Luckily a couple of guest snapped some pictures from the day. I made these streamers from Oh Happy Day for the occasion, potted little succulents

Button Collection

Whenever a cute button crosses my path, I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. I usually pin it to a bag, turn it into a magnet or lose it. I LOVE what Brigitte Herrod has done with buttons! What a great way to collect and display

BIG kid fun

Ferris Bueller's Day Off Board Game This beautifully illustrated board game by Maxim Dalton really speaks for itself. Patterns For Colouring Because adults like to color too, and I feel you could probably use these as wallpaper. Backyard Scrabble Nerd Alert. I want a giant scrabble game for the backyard.

PARTY * BRIDAL SHOWER

I haven't posted very many food related posts lately because I have been busy party planning. I'm the maid of honor for my gal pal Cassi getting married in June. Her Bridal Shower is this weekend, and then the next weekend we have the Bachelorette!

Alexandra Angle Interior Design

I am in love with this bright and colorful house on Fire Island, complete with adorable teal bike and outdoor shower. This rainbow hanging chair caught my eye, and I'm not sure who makes it, but I'm betting it cost a fortune. Totally worth it. image

Party * Party

I've got parties on the brain. I'm hosting a friend's bridal shower in a couple of weeks, and have been crafting away. I found these adorable DIY fringy streamers on oh happy day, and immediately ordered some crepe paper. They should make for cute decor at the

Why didn’t I think of this?!

Pick a Jewel Pendants were created by fift a creative Japanese duo. Being the hoarder of little keepsakes that I am, this is a must have. Coins, flowers, leaves, feathers or shells collected on the beach

Book Planters

I'm loving these DIY book planters. You remove the heart of the cover and inside pages, create a seal, and are left with a little pot. The thought of gutting my favorite book lacks appeal, but a damaged book or one collecting dust and fading

market finds } OOTS Lunchbox

I'm pretty excited about my new eco-friendly lunch box by OOTS! The little plastic containers stack neatly inside, and are microwave and dishwasher safe. I need something cute to encourage me to pack a healthy lunch, but so far I've been packing nutella right next to

NESTREST

My good friend Lauren sent me a link to this remarkable hanging lounge. Don't you just want to crawl inside, read a book, and take a nap.

Lauren Wolf Jewelry

There was a time when I went a little nuts at the trade shows and would spend, spend, spend. I have since learned that I don't necessarily need things just because I am getting an insane deal on them. Now I get one or two "show

Yum.

The Velveteen Baker. Because sweets are really what this day is all about.
