I have a pretty good collection of notebooks -- for notes, sketching, list-making, etc., -- and whenever I find a particuarly good one, I get excited. For example, this one is my new favorite sketchbook ...
Its the perfect size, has a pocket and all sorts of handy information in the back. Designed by Studio8 for Magma.

A few things I've become semi-obsessed over ... some new, some old ...
1. Milk Bar cookies. I usually stop to pick some up when in NYC but I'm thinking about ordering some to fulfill my craving.
2. This new Discover Monet site is fantastic.
3. Finally getting around to reading this book and so far, so good.
4. This J. Crew bag just came out and I think it might be my spring obsession.
5. Love these flats so much.
6. I tried to get this print for the shop when we opened but wasn't able to. Might just have to get for our home.
7. The Grid System has a newly updated site and its pretty great.

My love for Instragram continues. Snaps from the last few weeks ...
We've had odd weather ... evident by the tights + boots one day then the flats + capris the next. Can't wait for spring ... almost there!

I have lots of love for Old Town Alexandria, not only because its where our shop + studio is located but because its a super charming area with lots of great locally owned shops. Here are my favorites eats + shops ...
If you visit D.C., its a 15 minute drive from the city and about a 20 minute metro ride. Worth an afternoon visit! : )
Shop links: Fromagerie, Butcher's Block, Red Barn Mercantile, Fifteen/Eleven, Society Fair, Lavender Moon Cupcakery, Pop's Ice Cream, Brabo Tasting Room, Olio Olive Oil

Love everything about Raleigh Denim. They "make limited edition jeans, using local materials and traditional construction methods, in their downtown Raleigh, NC workshop" ...
It was a little bit of a splurge for me but definitely one of my most favorite jeans ever.
