Recent Acquisitions

{Dani Notes monogrammed tray ($34) & Graphic Image business card case ($41)}

I literally squealed when I unwrapped my new melamine tray. They are completely customizable and make great gifts too! My new business card case already came in handy at the San Francisco design blogger meet-up last week (see pictures here).

{Chance Co. shirt ($60) & K. Slademade clutch ($54)}

This striped boatneck shirt has been a gateway drug. Suddenly the only things I want to wear are striped! Hey, I'm not complaining. I recommend ordering one size up. My new K. Slademade clutch comes with me literally everywhere I go and fits the necessities (chapstick, keys, phone, wallet) with room to spare.

{Bibbon eye mask, $35}

This baby gets a picture of its own. You know why? Because it has changed my life. I have a tough time falling asleep most nights (running through my to do list and tomorrow's obligations) and distractions like light and sound don't help. I might not look cool with my ear plugs and eye mask, but hey, whatever helps you sleep at night. I literally could not recommend Bonnie's custom eye masks more highly.

{Vintage earrings}

My mom and I found these fun sparklers at the Alameda Flea Market, enabling me to cross "buy something at a flea market" from my 101 in 1001 list. The best part? They were only $12!

{Kate's Paperie notebooks ($17 each) & Graphic Image address book ($64)}

These eco-friendly recycled leather notebooks come in every color under the sun and my citrusy-hued choices will come in handy for many a to do list. My new address book also checks off a 101 in 1001 task and comes in the most beautiful buttery yellow leather. Swoon.

So, darlings, do dish: what are some of your recent acquisitions?

Downright dreamy.

That's how I would describe the magic that's happening over at The Coveteur. It's not merely sneak peeks into well-adorned closets. It's brilliant styling, excellent composition, and the fact that I leave not only coveting the clothes and accessories but eagerly awaiting the next feature as well. These snaps of jewelry designer Maryam Keyhani's Toronto home recently had my heart racing...

Very Parisian chic, n'est-ce pas?

Let's get some shoes.

Specifically, shoes of the leopard/nude/tan variety. Truthfully, my cowboy boots and Reva flats could use the day off and any of these would make an ideal substitute.
