Hoping to pull off a classic polished look at least once this winter.

modern ink.

Pretty sure my fear of commitment would prevent me from ever getting a tattoo, but I'm loving the modern approach (and color) in the work of Amanda Wachob.

Also loving her art.

certified local.

Local friends: On Saturday, November 13, we'll be at the Local First Fall Festival at Duck & Decanter on Camelback. Come check out music, free food and brand spanking new letterpress cards from yours truly.

awash in color.

Loving the subtle, dreamy color of Agnes Martin's prints.

still life.

Filmmaker Jeffrey Moss has an impressive collection of vintage portraits and snapshots from flea markets and antique stores all over the world. Loved this peek inside his home from Chicago Home & Garden -- it feels a little chaotic, but somehow calm at the same time.

holiday gift wrap DIY.

It seems like every year I leave my Christmas shopping until the week before... this year I'm getting started early. Then I'll have time for my very favorite part: the gift wrapping!

Kelly reminded me of this really beautiful holiday wrapping DIY from Style Me Pretty.

Enjoying the mix of modern black and white with nature, in these images from stylist Lotta Agaton.

Winter wonderland where are you? I am ready for layers. Jackson, Johnston & Roe do it again for Fall 2010.
Thanks Mariah.

A never-ending assortment of specialty socks and tights. The crossover sockette seems like a complete must.

under foot.

We're ripping out the carpeting in our house and installing wood floors, so I've been on the hunt for some beautiful rugs. Loving the colors of this one from Arzu, even though it is way out of my budget.

seesaw vintage: SALE.

We're slowly clearing out the vintage shop to make way for new goodies. We've also said goodbye to our old mannequin -- we had a love/hate relationship with her and she just had to go :) Stay tuned for the launch of a more improved shop in the coming weeks...

For now, a SALE: the entire shop is 30% off from now until end of day Sunday! (We'll refund you via Paypal after purchase.)

primary colors.

How do you feel about using primary colors in your home? I honestly can't decide if I like it or not, although it definitely has an artsy vibe.

(Yes, more from photographer Magnus Anesund.)

Setting the tone for Monday. Ready, go.
