shana faust

I discovered Shana Faust's website via Holly's tweet + so happy that I did ... isn't her styling amazing?

She's a former Martha Stewart editor + now freelances as a stylist.  Love the very feminine touches to her work.

oona l'ourse

I've been cleaning up a bit + came across a stack of cards I collected the last time I was in Europe.  I was reminded of a bunch of shops I loved including Oona L'Ourse, a children's boutique in France ...

Check out their cute site here [love the black balloons].

action method by behance

I'm liking this simple but very practical + well-designed line of paper products by Behance called Action Products ...

All sorts of notebook goodness for creative professionals to keep organized.

elva fields

Gorgeous jewelry, both new + vintage, from Elva Fields ...

So many pretty pieces you'd have forever.   Hope you had a good weekend - happy Monday!

inspiring prints

I've been trying to clean up my studio + printing area these last few weeks.  I also want to hang a few pieces + I think I'll order one of these ...

I have the Keep Calm print above one of my presses + it works quite well in those moments of frustration.  And right now I'm especially liking the last one.  Simple + inspiring. 

ps.  I finally created a mailing list for shop updates.  Find it here. Have a great weekend!

halloween invites

Loving these amazing Halloween invites ...

So creative.  I'm not too into Halloween but I'd be all over this party!

bloch :: new flats

I realize this will probably be of interest to about 5 people but I thought I'd update on the flat search.  I ended up getting a pair of Blochs + love them.  They are definitely my most comfortable flats [and I've had a lot of flats :] ...

I got the basic black flats.  Bloch originated as a handmade ballet shoe maker so I figured they would be comfortable + they are. 

ps.  I ended up not getting the Marais due to the no return, just exchange policy.  With my track record on shoes/flats I figured better safe than sorry. 

fleabag

Jane tweeted about these perfect bags a while back + I've admired them ever since ...

They're called Fleabags, they're handmade + in limited edition.  Perfect weekend tote, wouldn't you say? 

un esprit en plus

Lovely things made of zinc + linen by French company Un esprit en plus ...

I don't think I'll ever tire of simple linen. 

forest milk

Really, really simple + pretty milk and ice cream packaging from Japanese company Forest Milk ...

Love it.  Hope you had a good weekend!
