hallie burton.

Hallie Burton is such a talented photographer. I want to step inside all the interiors in her portfolio.

girls in the windows.

Just a really awesome old photo for today. Wouldn't you like to see some of those vintage dresses up close?

facet.

minimal / human / domestic / nature / quiet / art.

Tabitha Bianca Brown.

tenn.

Loving pretty much everything that comes out of Svensk Tenn.
Josef Frank was kind of a genius.

Free Time Industries is a multidisciplinary experimental design studio with really beautiful products like the coolest pencil sharpener ever, a tool holster, leather and laser jewelry, and more. They're currently seeking some additional funding to make new awesome things. Watch their video here and help them out; you'll get something fun in return.

I really love their group photo, and it always makes me happy to see other creative studios run by women.

a peek.

Daydreaming of bright Swedish apartments, found through Hemnet. I've kept that second photo on file because I love the image of Dalí peeking around the door. (Have you seen Midnight in Paris yet? He might be my favorite part.)

kin: reunion tees.

A fun side project I've been working on... Kin: t-shirts for family reunions.

Designs are available for customization with your personalized information, and then you can get it printed wherever you want. Here's how it works.

Creative takes on phrases, old and new.

terrain.

Maybe not so necessary but a lovely way to complete an outfit.

rectangular objects.

A study in colors and shapes from this art by Courtney Price. (Lots more here.)

texture and pattern.

Effortlessly put together and so pretty, compliments of JCrew.

sister sister.

Illustrated with thread: Maricor/Maricar.

christopher astley.

Surprising beauty in art of unassuming materials.

specs.

A quick visit to Karen Walker's site and you'll be rationalizing the purchase of
yet another pair of sunglasses (or is that just me?)

masters.

Minimal + modern portraits of Saarinen & Calder by Marcel Ceuppens.

"To me, the drawn language is a very revealing language, one can see in a few lines whether a man is really an architect"
- E. Saarinen

summer color.

Have you visited our shop recently? It's full of cheerful summer colors and great vintage finds.

vanilla.

It gets so hot here in the summer that I need a pretty good reason to pull out my bike (or the tandem!) and go for a ride. If I had one of these lovelies parked in my garage it would be harder to resist a ride now and then, even in the 100+ heat.
