Some much needed fun

I spent a very productive day in the studio and then Victor and I went out on a date last Friday night. I don't think I have had so much FUN in years. Pure fun. Dinner, drinks, and a midnight visit to Voodoo Doughnut, it doesn't get much better than that.

Enough already J Crew! I can't take it anymore!

J Crew needs to be stopped! I haven't lusted over clothing and styling like this since...since...well since the last J Crew came out!
The outfit with the slouchy pants and the high ponytail...that is what I want to look like everyday. And can I pull off bright orange lipstick this summer? I think a trip to Nordstrom is in order to try some on.

New hoodie in the shop!

Spring Vine hoodie available here.

HOUSE LUST 911

Sometimes I run across a house (usually on Design*Sponge) or in my old Domino magazines (R.I.P.) that instantly make me want to sell all of my belongings and recreate the look and live there forever.
This is one of those houses. You can see the whole thing on Design*Sponge today...
The woman who lives here is also the owner of Bird in NYC, one of my biggest store crushes- I would love to sell my products there...sigh, and then live in her house.
I am filled with melancholy inspiration!
I think cleaning our bathroom and making up the bed will do the trick in making me feel a little better....

Love

I found this site on one of my daily reads Bloesom Kids, and everything in the shop is so good I had to share too!
I am loving everything in the shop from Olive Manna, especially the fabric and dishware. I keep finding all of these incredible inspirations for designing my own fabric and soon I will just have to take the plunge and do it.
There is a class offered at Modern Domestic her in Portland about how to screen print yardage that I am dying to take- that might just be what I need to get started.

New Pillows at Noun in Portland!

I just dropped off some new bird pillows to NOUN: A person's place for things, and I am really happy with the way they turned out. They are going to be some of the very last pillows ever made with the perfect chocolate polka dot cotton...sigh.
They are $84.00 at Noun in Portland- go check them out in person and say hi to Stephanie the owner- I love her!
