Is This Seat Taken?

I'm looking for a new couch for my living room, and while the library sofa by Julian Chichester is surely out of my price range, I can certainly appreciate its beauty.

Heavenly Creatures

I pretty much love everything about the above photo - the wallpaper, the bed, the gilded chandelier, the art, the Resort Romper by Dear Creatures. I want it all. Photographer Yudi Ela, who shot the Spring 2010 lookbook for Dear Creatures, has an amazing eye. I highly recommend you check out her other works and her blog.

Yellow Fever

Stripes? Check. Nautical rope? Check. Perfect bag for summer? Probably.

The Gold & The Beautiful

I love gold. I love figs. So, using a simple process of deduction, one can conclude that I would also love these golden fig vases designed by Roost...which I do.

Stir Crazy

Looking for a way to spruce up your summer cocktails? These turbo stirrers are an affordable way to infuse your vodka sodas (or whatever your drink of choice may be) with some summer fun!

TOMS - So Cutting Wedge

The new wedges from TOMS have arrived just in time for summer - yay! I'm not normally a fan of TOMS shoes (just not stylistically my thing), but the wedges are super cute and available in a slew of fabulous colors. And, just in case you didn't know, when you purchase a pair of TOMS shoes they give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. Which means you can go forth, buy a pair (or two) and feel good about your purchase. They're only $69, which is totally affordable. I'm so getting a pair of the navy striped ones - love them!

Let's Get Knotty

With any luck, my friend John and I will soon be taking a trip to the San Francisco Museum of Craft + Design (SFMC+D) to catch the FourSite: 4 Artists / 4 Materials / 4 Sites exhibit, which features installations by four California artists. One of the artists participating in the exhibit is Tanya Aguiniga, the Los Angeles-based furniture and textile designer responsible for creating the above jersey knot bracelet - which I now totally covet. The exhibit at SFMC+D runs through September 18 - giving John plenty of time to pick a date for us to go and check it out.
