Needing Some Shades January 30, 2012 No Comments

This past wintery week I’ve needed sunglasses more than some summer days spent on the lake. That snow can muster up a serious sheen, I tell ya. So I’m thinking some tortoise shell frames are in order. Any recommendations? I’ve had a crush on these Ray-Bans for awhile, but who hasn’t? Source: Patterson Maker

Sombrero Sheets No Comments

If you’ve been around here awhile you know that I often go on, what I call, ‘spending freezes.’ Just as it sounds, a spending freeze is a money-spending hiatus. This practice began last year with my New Year’s resolution to make thoughtful purchases. I found that holding the funds back really helped me evaluate the [...]

Spring 2012 January 12, 2012 3 Comments

I am no fashion expert, as evidenced by the fact that I’m just now coming across Heidi Merrick’s Spring 2012 line. Despite my late arrival, I’m stoked about the colors and silhouettes going on here. I think that black sparkly number with the cuffed sleeves could be my best friend. I’ll leave the hot pants [...]

Erin over at Design for Mankind put together a stellar gift guide for your neighbors and, while everything was beautiful, the sweater mug was too awesome not to share. Can’t you just see yourself sipping hot chocolate out of one? Source: Molla Space

That Place November 29, 2011 1 Comment

While the meeting of the lines in the rug and the wood of the chair legs is giving me a bit of a headache I can’t help but admire everything else going on here. I want a taxi figurine in a display case now. Source: a note on design

In the words of Christian Siriano himself, his Spring 2012 collection is fierce. I love the neutral palette, the pops of yellow and the silhouettes (and the stilettos!). I want at least one of every piece in every single color. Please and thank you, Mr. Siriano. Source: NY Magazine Fashion

I have a feeling that this week is going to be over in the blink of an eye, just like the changing of the seasons around here. Hello, there 45 degree mornings. Where did you come from so quickly? I’ve got some busy days and filled up evenings ahead. As I have one foot out [...]

September Birthday September 1, 2011 6 Comments

It happened, guys. September is here. The last nine months have really been a blur. I’ve started a new job (or two), welcomed new family members, traveled a bit, sent my sister overseas, packed, unpacked, packed some more, added a zillion miles to my car and landed here in the state of Minnesota. Can you [...]
