delicate plates

Are these the loveliest plates or what!? I'm hearting the pastel colors and the scallop edges. Perfect for small dishes! See them at Rachel Carley.

happy words

I recently came across this lovely shop from Esty_ Vol25 and fell in love with some of their cleverly worded prints. These would be so cute around my house... a great reminder of what's important! Printed on textured canvas paper!!!

hearting over trunks...

I've been hearting Jack Russel Malletier's line of trunks and trollies for a while now. I love the clean lines and the simplicity of this classic look. Would love to buy the 64cm and 84cm trunks in their white coated canvas with the tan leather trim! (but of course, if I can even afford _ GOYARD trunks would be my ultimate dream! (hence "dream"))

perfect black dress

The other day when I saw diana from EXPRESS-O blogging about this fabulous black dress from Steven Alan... I gasped secretly and thought.. I found it! I've found my perfect little black dress. It's demure on the front with a sexy dropped back. It's PERFECT! (but it won't be available until 2-3 weeks later) Their other looks are also too cute! It's so effortlessly french.

loving these...

Super lovely vintage-inspired packaging from Aussie's Sohum. How cute are the savon bon bons!

BHLDN finally

Woo~ I finally got to browse the much anticipated collection of BHLDN yesterday! (came out 2/14) I love the palette of colors, textures, and whimsiness the brand provides! BHLDN is pronounced "beholden" and is inspired by the Dutch word for "to keep"!! Ahhh ~~ so romantic. The brand sells everything from gowns, headpieces, shoes, and jewelry!! And later to come...wedding decor!

pretty florals to wear

I love Honey & Twig's modern interpretation of hair adornments! My favorite series are these taken deep in the woods. The feminine and delicate ruffles look so fresh and dreamy! Makes me wanna to wear a different piece for everyday. Woo_ and their bridal collection/veils are even more divine!

wood you be...

Christmas is just around the corner, and one of my favoritest thing is not only receiving presents but also buying presents for others! Along with that comes the packaging!! I love buying ribbons, tags, boxes...etc. I came across this fabulous Etsy shop call Somethings Hiding Here and their lovely products! How clever is that_ Wood you be mine?! and the silhouette tags! Luv it~

Awesome outfits from Secret Squirrel winter 2010! I love the splash of glitter in the casual but chic looks!

They're finally in stock again! I saw these a year ago on OH JOY...and wanted to buy them ASAP...but they were all sold out. Get yours now at Framed Objects by THE....before they run out!

a little R&R time...

The weather is getting cooler and sometimes I just want to do nothing and lay at home all day. Found these great items from one of my favorite stores_Z Gallerie! Imagine this scene_romantic ruffled pillows, cozied up with a soft cable knit throw.....all while enjoying the aromas of Edgar Allen Poe' s Library Home Fragrance collection. (Cardamom, Absinthe and Sandalwood!)

pretty fall colors

I love the colors of the mist, branches, and lavender skies the photographs from DACE has captured. This has inspired me to get my next batch of nail polishes from essie. (left to right color: turguoise caicos, merino colors, miss matched, cafe forgot)

biodegradable tableware!

Finally somebody jumped on board to design green-disposable tableware! Sometimes we really do need a single-use option...right? We're not lazy. This collection_Simplicity Wasara is designed in Japan by Shinichiro Ogata and may I say_ it's magnificent! They're made from 100% tree-free renewable materials- sugar cane fiber, bamboo and reed pulp! And get this_ they're suitable for cold, hot, and even oily foods! Since it's oil and water-resistant! Me likey! Even the packaging is awesome!

summer collection for fall?

Creamy colors with velvety silks. I love Secret Squirrel Label's summer collection 2010. I know_ it's fall, but I actually really think it's quite appropriate for our autumn weather here in LA.

succulents...

Aren't these bulbous glass globes amazing?! Designer Katie Macdonald of Botany Factory creates mini gardens that are nearly self-sufficient, requiring only sunlight and the occasional spritzing. Which is totally my kind of gardening~ What a clever way to bring a little of the great outdoor inside.
