May 4, 2012 Shanna Murray

happy designs by shanna murray

I’ve been a fan of Shanna Murray’s work for ages and of course I adore her new Spring collection. It’s a lovely mix of ribbons, wreaths of clover, and thoughts. I’d be happy to scoop up the whole shop, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be this one. Be brave. You [...]

May 2, 2012 weekly loves: art and jewels

weekly loves: art and jewels

This week’s loves have a bit of an art and jewelry theme. Starting with a brilliant new photography book… My copy of Nicole‘s super-lovely Paris in Color came today. I opened it immediately. Oh, it’s gorgeous! I can’t recommend it highly enough. Of course it will make you feel like skipping work and hoping on a plane to [...]

weekly loves

It still feels like winter (there was frost on the ground this morning!) so summer clothes aren’t quite the right thing just yet. But I’ve been going through my clothes and weeding out things that I haven’t worn in a year or two and making room for a few additions. I know some people don’t [...]

weekly loves: a bit of this and that

I’ve mentioned Nan Larson before, but I still love her illustrations and wanted to post about them again. I decided that I like her work so much I just need to start collecting it already so these two lovelies are on their way to my ever-lovin’ walls! Amelie & Joanie I love her pop culture [...]

weekly loves

So it basically feels like summertime around here. We open all the windows at work and try not to melt in the afternoons. We take breaks for orange fanta in glass bottles. I’m not really a pop drinker, but I do love a little orange fanta on a hot day! Lots of other bright and [...]

an unexpected absence

I didn’t mean to disappear this week, but Joel and I came down with the flu within hours of each other on Monday and we’ve pretty much been in a hibernation/I don’t wanna be sick! mode ever since. So, to beat the winter sickies, I’m looking at pretty things that remind me a little of [...]

photo inspired

Photo Inspired is still a new-ish post series. It’s a snippet of inspiration built around a single photo. I hope you like it!  One of the things I love about Twitter are the inspiring links that are always popping up. I’m always intrigued and excited-it’s like a treasure hunt- to see what the link is. [...]

weekly loves: light and breezy

Welcome to the post series formerly known as Wednesday Loves. Since I can never-ever seem to get it up on time I have rechristened it Weekly Loves.  We’ve been having some gorgeous, almost spring-like weather. I think that -with a little help from how chaotic things have felt the past week (busy busy busy)- is why I’m [...]

wednesday loves: belated

Last night I was busy eating tacos and fighting with interfacing and completely forgot to get this week’s Loves up. Oops! Here’s what you were missing. I love, love, love this look by Bora Aksu for London Fashion week. I keep going back to it which I think is a sign of a good photograph [...]

wednesday loves: four links

Today’s Loves are all interesting posts and blogs that I’ve come across lately. But first here’s a photo I took on my way out the door yesterday morning. A pretty valentine’s rose. It’s so hearty! A week later and it still looks and smells wonderful. I’m going to try to start a cutting from it, [...]
