wearable art.

Art plus fashion makes for one of my favorite combinations, and these prints by Jenni Rope for Marimekko A/W 2011 are no exception.

Mikel Irastorza's Spanish apartment is airy, sophisticated, and overall just stunning.

Brilliant logo design for EdgeBoard, handmade cutting boards with an edge that you use to slide off the chopped food against (I want one). The brand comes to life using the edge in any application.

Geometric + organic by species by the thousands.

On really rotten days, I come home and tell my husband this.

(Thankfully those days are few and far between)

whit.

Phoenix native Whitney Pozgay's Spring collection is simple yet playful and most importantly wearable.

happy 4th birthday to us.

Today marks 4 years of being in business! We celebrated with these pretty and delicious pastries from Scratch — raspberry cheesecake, triple chocolate mousse, and a lemon meringue tart. One of our presents this year is a new website for our design studio...coming soon (and long overdue).

We owe a big thank you to our clients, friends+family, and of course all our blog readers too. Happy birthday SeeSaw!

Simplicity is sweet.

jane button down.

Rag & Bone makes a lovely button down with a soft shape and bright stripes.
Found at shopbird.

robert jack.

The small but highly detailed paintings and drawings of Robert Jack are amazing. It's easy to get lost in the repetitious forms.

minä perhonen.

Whimsical prints and textiles from favorite Japanese fashion brand Minä Perhonen. If I ever make it to Japan, I'd love to step in one of their shops - they look beautiful.

lost type.

Have you heard about Lost Type Co-Op? It's a new, pay-what-you-want type foundry. You just enter the amount you want to pay (or enter $0 and get it for free) and all proceeds go directly to the designer. When you work with typography almost all day, it's nice to discover some fun and affordable fonts.

the burning house.

If your house was burning, what would you take with you?

dabito.

This old brand new blog just made my day. I have been having a bit of a landscaping dilemma and have decided to simply let it go and focus on my indoor plants.

Add a functional splash of pastel to your look. I'm thinking honey melon.

pretty paper.

We always love seeing the new paper goods pop up during National Stationery Show week. No surprise that Rifle Paper Co.'s preview is an absolute favorite so far.

See coverage from the event this week over at Oh So Beautiful Paper.

hard things + winner.

My husband and I just finished installing wood floors throughout our whole house this weekend, so I'm feeling pretty accomplished (and sore!). I'm loving this little bit of encouragement.

And congrats to Jillian from cornflake dreams - you're the winner of last week's giveaway. We'll be in touch soon!

since.

Currently wishing for this scarf from since-berlin.
