Underpinnings & Other Lovely Things

{silk satin cat sleep mask by Naomi Lingerie}

I am seriously in love with the delicate underpinnings and sleep masks created by the ever-so-adorable Japanese designer Naomi (couldn't track down her last name). At any rate, they have a very roaring '20s feel to them and I would like nothing more than to stock my entire lingerie collection with them...unfortunately, the $35-$40 price range is too steep for my wallet. Of course, the sleep masks are only $18 and the silk satin cat sleep mask would surely give new meaning to taking a cat nap. Check out the Naomi Lingerie shop & the blog for more info. In the mean time, below are just a few of my favorite pieces from the collection. Swoon.

Count Me In

{A violent, sensual, sensitive girl T-shirt by Every Little Counts}

An ex-boyfriend of mine once bought me a T-shirt that read: "Irish temper, Italian attitude" - which I refused to wear! At any rate, I have no doubt that if we were together today he would buy me this shirt by Every Little Counts - which I would gladly sport. The Brooklyn-based graphic T-shirt line is the brainchild of husband-and-wife design duo Amy Snider and Adam Schwartz, and each piece is hand printed with eco-friendly, water-based inks. Oh, and while the clothes in the shop may be for the lady-folk, the sultry models are sure to entice the men.

Heads Up, Seven Up

{Mustard beau skirt and tea top by Sarah Seven}

All I have to say is I want, want, want this mustard beau skirt and tea top - like right now!!! Not to mention, all the other totally covetable clothes (like this, this and this) by Portland, OR-based designer Sarah Seven. This lady makes some amazing pieces. Oh, and I should mention that 5% of all her Etsy shop sales goes to some great charities. Enjoy more pics of her work over on her blog.

Sharing Different Heartbeats...

Into everyone's Friday, a little "Heartbeats" must fall. Oh, and if you haven't heard Jose Gonzalez's acoustic version...you must go here now!

Hella Stacked!

{slim staking rings, mixed metal by Kate Szabone}

I must have this set of nine slim staking rings!! Of course, I plan to order them all in yellow gold because I'm not really a silver kind of girl and, well, rose gold makes my skin crawl. Luckily, Etsy seller Kate Szabone will customize orders to your liking...provided you have a "convo" with her to work out the details. Now, I just need to figure out my ring size.

All I'm Sayin' Pretty Baby...

{La La Love You print by SparklePower}

I have been a Pixies fan since I first heard them back in junior high. Unfortunately, the band broke up around that same time. At any rate, I have always loved "La La Love You" - although, "Gigantic" is by far my absolute favorite song - and this print by Etsy seller SparklePower makes me happy. The 8.5" by 11" giclee print is available in an assortment of color combos - although, I'm partial to the "aqua" or mental-hospital green, as I like to call it.
