sunburst mirror


Want that Bone Sunburst Mirror by Ballard Designs.  I can practically feel to sunshine radiating from this dining room.  The lighting is to die for! Tea time, anyone?

boo-hoo

Feeling very under the weather today, yesterday, and the day before that.  I'm rarely sick so I've completely forgotten how miserable it feels.  Please make it go away! I'm getting tired of nursing myself back to health. Thankfully we have no work today for MLK's birthday!

scotland getaway



This white stone croft, 50 yards away from the sea in Scotland,  is available for holiday rentals.  Can't you just breathe in the salty air? Don't mind if I do!

to my wife

I am truly, madly, deeply obsessed with this new Tumblr I found - entitled To My Wife.  They are notes from a current bachelor to his future wife, and I find myself checking this daily becuase the notes are so sweet, hilarious, and thoughtful all at the same time.  Now this is what true romance looks like.  Mr. ToMyWife - look no further, here I am.

Keira Knightly does Vogue Italia

I'm not even a adamant Keira Knightly fan, but this spread in  Vogue Italia is undeniably gorgeous.  The English countryside looks like a dream and this screams modern day Jane Austen novel. The above library shot is my favorite - I would die for one of those climbing ladders and built in shelves.  I'm also currently wearing a full length tulle skirt so I think my opinion may be swayed.

red velvet cake a-glitter



As you may have noticed, I've been really into short films and clips as of late, and I stumbled upon this darling short this morning! January red by Ely Kim (no bias here, I swear) was commissioned by Kate Spade and dripping with sweetness.  It makes me want to run - well, drive if I'm being completely serious - over to Sprinkles for a red velvet cupcake this instant!  Especially since I'm munching on broccoli right now for my healthy new year initivative.  I think this video just ended that.

puzzeled


How fun are these puzzle boards for dinner parties?  I love how they function as a wine glass holder.

scott schuman, marry me



I follow Scott Schuman's blog, The Sartorialist, religiously for his phenomenal photography of street fashion and daily inspiration.  He has a knack for capturing people in their element, most often on the streets of New York and Paris.  This new short documentary goes behind the scenes on how he works and I love.  Love, love, love, actually in love.  I find him to be so well spoken and debonair!

ten great years

Dying for this print.  I've always had a love affair with The Beatles, but ever since I got my record player (who I have affectionately named Oliver) I've rediscovered how amazing they are.  I'm so devastated this  poster is sold out! Crossing my fingers that it comes back.

home is wherever i'm with yooou



Pretty much filled with cuteness every single second. I've lost count of how many times I've hit to replay button - obsessed with this darling girl and her doting dad!

teacup teasers

Currently smitten with these teaser teacups with cheeky gold prints.  I want the lipstick smudge the most!

happy new year!

Goodbye 2010 - Hellooooo 2011!  Last year was good to me but I'm looking forward for this one to be even better, even though I can't believe another year has flown by.  I'm finally beginning to understand what my parents always told me about growing older - each year goes faster than the next. Eek!

After quite a long hiatus, one of my many resolutions is to be more on top of blogging because there's lists and lists of lovely things I want to remember and share just gathering dust on my desktop!
