office supply fave // embroidery scissors

embroidery scissors

Another favorite unconventional office supply? Embroidery scissors. I got this particular pair at the premiere of Handmade Nation a couple of years ago. I use them all the time. They are nice + sharp and perfect for cutting washi tape, ribbon + twine.

I’ve also been gathering cake inspiration for Em’s party. I love these three. They have such interesting textures.

sweet treat bags

Although it may seem early, plans for Em’s birthday party in April are already underway. [I can't believe she's almost 2!] I’ve been checking out different places for ideas and supplies and came across these cute treat bags from Shop Sweet Lulu. They have a ton of different + colorful options!

sari tutus on zulily

I blogged about these gorgeous sari tutus before and received several emails about where to purchase them. Good news! They are on sale on Zulily today.

The last time they were on Zulily, I actually bought a couple of them – one for em and one for my niece. I was really impressed with the quality. The waist tie is even silk dupioni. So pretty.

spoons – chevron, stripes + dots

Just spotted these hand-painted wooden spoons from Shop Sweet Lulu. I’ve bookmarked them for Em’s party next year!

black + white stripes

I’m diggin’ black and white stripes lately…

crew cuts

J.Crew has some adorable things for babies + kids. I’m glad I live near one of their outlets so that I can peek in once in a while. I’ve snagged quite a few cute things on sale for Em there.
