Loving...

... reapproriating vintage jewellery:

a'la PS: I made this

This cute guy (lost link, I know I am really bad at keeping links - how do people do it??)


And these Wedding Bouquets from Fantasy Floral


Yet another excuse to shop.

500 Pencils

Why is it that when I am super broke, or saving for something really important, I see something awesome but completely non-essential and then am consumed by it, until it is mine?

Case in point: 500 Pencils from Social Designer


A subscription to receive the above set of 500 pencils in sets of 25 per month for 20 months. You can even buy (or subscribe to) the awesome display cases above and below, and display them like art. Awe. Some.


I am only mildly less excited about these pencils as a 27 year old that I would have been 20 years ago.

Some things just never go out of style.

PS: No I haven't succumbed... yet. Let me know if you do!

Accesso

Here are a few accessory type things that have been catching my eye lately:

50's style frames from Dolce and Gabbana


Speckled and Dotty kicks from Nike.



Handmade layered felt cushions (I lost the photo source sorry)


Initial necklaces


And these cluster rings from Bona Drag which I am obsessed with.


Actually, everything from Bona Drag, like this Deadly Ponies bag...


... this buckle top


... this eyelash necklace


... and this fringe dress.

I'm going to take you out tonight

New In Town by Little Boots

Printy

ONE more thing before happy hour.


I went to the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn in the weekend and picked up this little beauty from Cherrybox Studios.

Hooray for art!

Morrocan Wedding Blankets!

Yesss I found them. Maryam of the awesome blog My Marrakesh sells Moroccan Wedding Blankets.


Peruse the whole selection (and some other cool Moroccan-ware) here.

Cucumbersome

Check out this cute and crafty blog Cucumbersome.

Lost of great DIY design ideas too such as this highlighter + toile cushion:


And also how to make your own T-shirt necklace (or scarf), a'la Necklush.:


I heart it.

Choosing Chairs

Which of these chairs shall I get for my new outdoor area? Yellow would be the option in both cases.


The Marais A chair by Tolix via Design Withing Reach


Or these cute and way more affordable ones from CB2?


This table might be going outside too...

Houseware Hunting

It's fun to browse, even when you can't buy (yet). Here are a few more inspirational pics I have collected for the apt... (sorry, again I lost the links)

Hello new favourite shoes...

CC Skye

Ok, ONE more before I go get my nails done. I am hearting these bangles from jewellery designer CC Skye.



As the late great Freddy Mercury would say, I want it all.



And I see mirrored finishes are popping up in the latest "fash", disco's not dead!

Wohoo!

Wardrobe Necklace

I am in *heart* with these necklace style, clothes hanging strand things.


So pretty! So flexible! As the Hommin website says, would look great as a divider for a store, also.

Would look great in my dream studio. You would need to make sure your clothes were as pretty as the strand though.

Also I dont think it would be too hard to "be inspired by" as well, if you know what I mean.

Brrrrr

A foot of snow here today in NYC. Times like these I wish I had these Jimmy Choo/Hunter Wellingtons.


Mmmmm. Gator.

Lazy Friday

I know I have been super slack on the blog front this week. Keep coming back bloggies I'm still here I promise! So since its feeling like a lazy friday around here and Im sure you can't be bothered reading lots and lots of posts I thought I would just do a quick round up of the cute stuff I have seen lately. For your viewing pleasure.

Knitted Rose ring in time for V-Day from (enter cute shop that I cant think of the name of here).


Cute knitted and crocheted fonts from Handmade Fonts.



Twin prints from Etsy. I think these would look cute above a double bed.



Crochet Heart Garland (with tutorial) for V-Day. Here from BellaDia.


Cute vase aternatives I saw over on Brooklyn Bride. I have the London Phonebox one!


Gorgeous prints from Dilka Bear. I want all.




And finally a top-hat chandelier via Kanye West's blog.


Happy weekend everyone!
