When a plain old rectangle just won’t do:

1. Bliss in a Teacup; 2. The Curiosity Shoppe; 3. MoMA Store; 4. & 5. Playing Grown Up; 6. Old New Again.

I am partial to the whale, but that silhouette is darling, too. What do you think? Would you hang a chalkboard shape or do you prefer the tried-and-true?

Happy Weekend!

August 27, 2010

in Sweet Obsessions

That’s it for this week of blogging, folks! I love coming to meet up here in blogland, because there is always something inspiring to feast my eyes on – and as long as I follow my own rule of only spending my online time reading blogs that truly make me feel good, I always walk away feeling refreshed and inspired. What about you? What has been inspiring you lately, online or otherwise? Have any hot plans this weekend? Do tell so I can listen and drool, as I will be spending my days cozied up at home with my sweeties, both of whom are now feeling a little under the weather.

I thought I would leave you with some insanely cute French cats, found via Modish. You will not be able to resist their charms…

And what is this one waiting for so patiently at the table?

Hm, perhaps one of these delicious muffins with cream cheese frosting made by Tiina of Sparkling Ink?

Have a swell weekend!

p.s.: I am taking a break from doing Sweet Obsessions Friday for a while. Instead, I will be leaving Fridays more flexible to check in with you, share something cute/funny/interesting, or perhaps a peek inside a corner of my home. Just thought it was time to change things up!

Are you feeling a hint of autumn in the air? This week we had three days of cool rain, which got me thinking about fall. Of course now we are right back to muggy heat – but the promise of crisp fall days (and the cute outfits to go with them) is still fresh in my mind. Here are a few of my favorite looks from Portland street style site Urban Weeds for a little style inspiration:

Toggle coat + Cross-body bag + Lace-up boots + Cute bike

Layered tops + Blazer + Jeggings + (more) Lace-up boots

Jacket + Bold necklace + Full skirt + Cowgirl boots

Do you have any favorite outfits you’re yearning to pull on again once the weather changes?

Bread + Butter Shop

August 26, 2010

I just stumbled upon a new-to-me Brooklyn-based artist/designer collective called Bread + Butter. They are on vacation until September 6, but let’s just pop in and have a peek while they’re not looking, okay?

I love these bold, graphic prints – just the sort of thing that would appeal equally to guys & gals, no? Oh and how much do I love the pink wall in this picture? Although I didn’t end up using pink as a wall color in my home, you may recall I was considering it.

This is my favorite print in the shop. Want to see it up close?

So. Cute. And pink!
