THINGS ORGANIZED NEATLY
This is the most satisfying thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Some of the food shots remind me of Marina Ekroos’ food photography.

O S B O R N
Osborn Design came about when co-founder Aaron Osborn met an out-of-work cobbler who was doing charitable work in Guatemala, where his (Aaron’s) family runs one of the largest orphanages in the country. Each shoe is handcut and sewn by a local artisan and I think the result is pretty amazing! Fashion+Humanitarianism=Pure Gold (as already once proven by Tom’s Shoes). I also came...

Pink Suede Shoes
Purchased these little babies at the Dolce Vita Boutique in the LES this weekend while (post Bloody Mary brunch) shopping with my girls on Saturday. Kind of in love with my feet today. They have some great stuff right now – including both their new summer collection + some amazing sale items! If you don’t have a boutique in your area, check them out here!

PVBLIC
I discovered this brand PVBLIC at (capsule) show a couple weeks ago, and I’m in love with it! I adore anything with tribal print. This particular collection was inspired by the indigenous people of Alaska from the Siberian Coastal Inuit to the to the Central Alaska Yup’ik. Some of the tops come with a leather and suede medicine pouch necklace that can be looped into the back of the...

Virgo by Jeffrey Campbell
Even though it still somehow feels like winter will never end, I am so ready for these shoes. I love the new “flatform” style of shoe because for girls like me we can always use the extra height.
Jeffrey Campbell. Virgo. 5″ heel. 2″ platform. Woven rafia. NeedSupply. $112.

Built by Wendy - Spring Collection
Wendy Mullin’s Spring line is making me so ready for warm weather. She always creates the perfect transition pieces like that jumpsuit, blazers, light-as-a-feather trousers, and short-sleeved cotton dresses. Love that green striped dress paired with the pinky-beige round shades. We’re almost there!
See the rest of the collection here.

Something tastes different, Maybe its my tongue
This song has been on repeat in my iTunes for the past 48 hours. Ingrid Michaelson is an awesome female singer-songwriter from NY. You’ve probably heard some of her music – its been in a bunch of tv shows (Scrubs, Bones, Grey’s Anatomy) + ad campaigns (Old Navy’s Fair Isle). Anyways if you haven’t downloaded her other music yet, you should! Enjoy.

Jumpsuit
This is the one single item from Alice + Olivia’s Fall Collection that I would love to wear. Although I usually find Alice + Olivia absolutely charming, I really didn’t like their Fall 2011 Collection. In some ways, I feel like the aesthetic of their line (Girly, Frilly, and Feminine all come to mind) is just an aesthetic that isn’t trendy right now. Women (and men) are moving more and more...

John Stezaker Mask Series
I love this Mask series by English conceptual artist John Stezaker. He fuses old photographs and movie stills with postcards and photographs from nature (mostly mountains and waterfalls) to create something completely new. This exhibition is currently showing at Whitechapel Gallery in London.

Skinny is out.
I don’t know about you, but I am so sick of skinny jeans. I think the trend lasted longer than anyone ever expected, and now I have officially hung them up in exchange for slouchy trousers, harems, pleat-fronts, pajama-style, and wide-legs (or flares for us short girls). Most of these go best with cropped tops and blouses, a nice change from the super baggy boyfriend-shirt that went so well...

Just a quick post to say that I...
Just saw this rainbow maxi dress by UNIF in Nasty Gal’s newest Lookbook and I’m in love! It looks gorgeous with jeans and could also be worn with a light summer dress, shorts or even a bathing suit! This would be beyond perfect for a summer in Vegas. The best part of all? Its only $128!!

Norwegian Wood
I just came upon this charming Etsy shop Norwegian Wood, designed and operated by Canadian Angie Johnson, who works out of Montreal and collects all her fabrics from new and vintage shops there. Below is a little video from Etsy’s Dress Up with I Heart Norwegian Wood. You can also check out some of her lookbooks here.

Toy Watch + Missoni
I was just checking out the Toy Watch site for the first time in a while, and I came upon these gorgeous “dressed by Missoni” watches. The face is the standard Toy Watch face, and the strap is a Missoni knit that comes in a few different designs. They also have some with silk scarves. I have the plain white jelly one from a friend who bought it and didn’t like it, and I wear it all the time and...

Thom Dolan Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear
Just peeped this new Thom Dolan collection on Refinery 29 and Oh, Sweet Betty Draper! Maybe its the ex-Catholic school uniform-wearer in me but I adore the denim bloomers with the white blouse and BOW tie. View the rest of the Spring ’11 Ready-to-Wear Collection here.

The Pouch (now trending)
If you’re in the market for a new bag, may I recommend one of these drawstring, mini-version of the bucket bag pouches? I love each and every one of these, in fact I own the suede Madewell Fatigue bag (#5). I am especially a big fan of the carpet style ones by Wendy Nichol, which I found over at Of a Kind, a recently-launched site that “introduces new designers through a unique combination of...

Acne Spring-Summer (new additions)
Above are some new items that Acne just added to their Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. Leather jackets haven’t been as big this season as they have been in the recent past, but the cut and color on the jacket in the first photo offers us something new + different and I think it pairs great with the lavender dress. That blouse and stretchy fitted shorts is adorable not to mention looks insanely...

Rustic Inspiration
Our apartment is pretty close to being done, with mostly just decorating left to be done. Here are some things I stumbled across that I love for interiors right now. I love that egg photograph and I might steal it for our kitchen. I’m also on a quest to find some form of taxidermy for our walls, but I have yet to convince Jay. I wouldn’t exactly call him a PETA activist but he hates all fur...

Beer: A Genuine Collection of Cans
I already have an ever-expanding collection of coffee table books (I’ve always wanted to make one myself someday) but here’s yet another one that I love: Beer (A Genuine Collection of Cans) by Dan Becker and Lance Wilson. The two came upon Becker’s stepfather’s extensive antique beer can collection in his basement in the midwest (the cans dated back as far as 1975!) and photographed all...

Vena Cava Spring/Summer Ready-to-Wear
Part Ava Gardner, part Alexa Chung, and chock-full of rompers, flowy skirts and overalls thrown in with a few bohemian pieces, Vena Cava’s new spring-summer line is not only to die for as usual, but is the epitome of Spring trends all in one collection. Loose, straight cut shorts paired with corset bra tops or loose cropped shirts, half sheer/half opaque bottoms (how amazing are those pants!?),...

Pendleton x Hurley
I’ve never been one to buy too many clothes from Hurley but their collaboration with Pendleton for 2011 has made me rethink things. I want to own that jacket on bottom left so badly. And how amazing are those jeans??? View the rest of the collaboration here.

One Teaspoon
Jamie Blakey is the creative mind behind Australian fashion line One Teaspoon and I absolutely adore her palate. Both the summer and winter lines are so funky + cozy!! Plus muted colors + blacks and whites with splashes of color = my wardrobe in a nutshell. And it helps that the prices are fairly reasonable. Here’s a peek at the Winter 2011 collection with up and coming Australian model Bambi...

I could seriously use one of these right now as I sit here staring out the window at the grey skies and pile of snow on the terrace. Absolutely gorgeous cloaks by Lindsey Thornburg at Bona Drag.

Alexander Wang Resort 2011
Alexander Wang’s Resort 2011 Accessories collection is the perfect mix of his classic studded and shiny leather mixed with the aesthetic of the future: comfort and convenience. The over the shoulder bags have a piece of soft leather on the strap so as not to rub your skin, and they’re nice and roomy so you can still hold your whole life in it as we ladies tend to do. The shoes have thick...

Lykke Li - Get Some Beck Remix by ChelseaBeasley
I don’t know how wrong you can go when one of my favorite artists of all time remixes a song of one of my favorite current artists. Love this song as it is and the remix has been amazing background music for me while unpacking all the boxes in my new apartment!!
