welcome, summer

summer is definitely here. the sounds of kids laughing + lawn mowers in full roar. and the smells? barbecue + fresh cut grass.  |  picture via flickr

ruffly toes

recently picked up these ruffly kicks. one casual, the other dressy. both cute and comfy.

banana’s baubles

i’m always keeping an eye on banana republic’s jewelry collections [especially their sales bin]. they often have such great pieces.

sketchbook

images from talented [and quite funny] designer + illustrator happy menocal. i got lost in them for a good half-hour today and very much enjoyed it.

muji

in paris, we also dropped by muji which has several locations around the city. if i remember correctly, we visited the two stores on rue saint-sulpice. each of the stores there are different. the first we popped into focuses on fashion + office supplies. the first two pictures above were snapped there. the second location on rue saint-sulpice focuses on the home + travel supplies. the third picture above was taken in the travel section there. i’ve been a fan of their online store, so visiting muji in person was such a treat.

sweet peonies

this weekend, i picked up the most beautiful peony blooms. they smell so, so lovely and are huge – about the size of my hand. there’s just something about having fresh flowers around. i can’t help but smile when i see + smell them.

hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

plaza letters + numbers

i’m liking these plaza letters + numbers by lulu frost. i love how skinny the letters are + how swirly the numbers are. and thanks to gilt groupe, they’re 1/2 off.

newly added

we’ve just updated our little shop. sweet baby announcements + custom stationery. i created the announcements a while back for a good friend of mine. with her blessing, we’ve included them in our shop. enjoy :]
