I am green with envy for this these etsy treats from bayan hippo & yy studio.

The Snoflake clothes are beautiful and easy. Lovely cotton to walk around town.
But that hair. That hair is amazing. I wish I could...I wish I could.

{woods & golds}

The fun & fantastic design of Oji Masanori.

{Peacock Pretty}


...I want this in a gigantic canvas over my bed...

{Wrap it Up}


Beautiful packaging. The first packaging is perfect. Simple brown-bag wrapping with Japanese masking tape. I love the cherry lollipops & candy striped ribbon. And I adore the pink and chocolate brown combination on the last one. They all combine a funky yet simple detail that makes the wrapping pop.

{floral sweets}


I don't think baking can get much more divine.
The pedestal, doilies, & baking cups by Talking Tables are brilliant. So feminine & chic.

{dress a line}


Bright stripes on pretty frocks.

{beauty & brains}


The first low-energy light bulb that is also beautiful. The Plumen bulb by Hulger uses 80% less energy and lasts 8 times longer than incandescent bulbs. And to top it off, it's absolutely gorgeous. There's no need for a shade when the bulb is so bright & beautiful. On a side note, how great is this restaurant's decor! Love the earthy feel.

{tea & pigs}


I want to drink tea out of these West Elm animal mugs. I think the reindeer mug is festive for the holidays.
Maybe pumpkin cider or egg nog to really get the fall feel.

Clare Nicolson's intricately designed cards & cushions.  

{spring in snow}

Winter is coming & the beautiful spring flowers will soon be covered in snow...well, at least somewhere far from the tropical climates I live in. We have pretty flowers year round. I love these bouquets from Johner, Ffffound, & truffle girls.

{m is for magazine}


...and p is for paperdoll wood shop.


{umbrella shine}

                          
...like a stained glass window to brighten the rainiest of days.

{art or something like it}


...swirls of chaotic color. I'm fascinated by what people consider art. I'm not sure my father, who has been drawing since he was a child & adores Renaissance artist like Rembrandt & Michelangelo, would consider these pieces by Yago Hortal art. They are intense and, for me, inspiring. They inspire emotion. Color is necessary to life. It would be boring and without desire. I equate color with yearning. I want a red, juicy apple or a beautiful purple dress, or a brilliant blue sky. But I digress...I love these paintings. And I certainly, love my art with 2 sides of color.

{hotel branding}

Claridge’s Luxury Hotel's branding is gorgeous. I love the teal, gold, black, & white color combination. The use of bold patterns on the wrapping paper and pencils are so modern and clean. This beautiful system was designed by Construct, a design boutique in London.

{purses plenty}


Beautiful linen purses in all kinds of colors.

{sitting pretty}

Take a seat in one of these colorful TOJO Design chairs.

{twist & turns}


I want to start collecting unique cards. I know plenty of gift-givers who aren't big about card or gift-receivers who chuck cards the minute they open their present, but I've always put plenty of emphasis on my card giving abilities. I love these by fold here. The wiring is so simple, but so unique. And with Halloween around the corner I'm loving this witchy card.

{perched prints}


Catherine Campbell creates beautiful prints of ethereal ladies amidst some feathery sidekicks.
A dash of color & a ton of talent.

{modern mobiles}

frazier & wing mobiles are handmade mobiles beautifully crafted from card stock paper in a range of gorgeous colors. The paper is die-cut into a variety of shapes such as circles, hexagons, flowers and more.
So simple & whimsical.

{form of fashion}


Interesting shapes.
I love the poofed sleeves, the ruffled, bright flats, explosive necklace, & the bell lamps.
Different silhouettes for every day items.
