my new roots.

As I've been trying especially hard to eat healthier this year, I find myself turning to blogs for food inspiration. One of my favorite discoveries is My New Roots. Sarah is starting to make videos (like a mini cooking show!) and I absolutely loved this one above about how to make quinoa, one of my favorite foods.

Do you have any favorite food/recipe sites?

edelweiss by sarah.

As much as I love color, lately I've been drawn to neutrals. Fall is here, and I wish I was wearing some of these gorgeous pieces from Edelweiss by Sarah's Fall 2011 collection.

in chains.

Love love love this bowl by Tennessee native Sarah Cihat. Also check out her Rehabilitated Dishware - cool idea.

the ampersand.

There's a whole blog dedicated to ampersands. I especially love this one made from tree bark, submitted by Sarah France.

Alison Carmichael's hand lettering skills are amazing. We're excited to check out Bobbin, her forthcoming collaboration with designer Sarah Dezille.

Now this is one apartment I would definitely enjoy exploring. I posted her amazing paper recipe awhile back. Additional interior images here.

calendar giveaway.

Thanks to those who commented on our calendar giveaway with the worst/funniest gift they've received.


The winners are...

*L: "My great-grandmother always gave me and my brothers bags of White Rain shampoo, control top panty-hose and bananas."

flanthrower: "My mom got me a pair of floral patterned denim bermuda shorts. I am reluctant to admit that at the time these were shorts that I a) wanted and b) even worse, actually wore."

sarah: "i got two crocheted doilies which, while i am a big fan of all things handmade, had a very obvious flaw: amongst the pastel variegated yarn and sewn - hopefully not on purpose - into the pattern were many MANY pieces of long, black course hair."

all + etc.

Supermarket Sarah is arguably the most fun way to shop online. Look at all the past styled collaborations. This is the newest wall collection from ALL + ETC - so bright and happy.

unhappy hipsters.

Even in your company, I feel so alone. (Dwell, September 2009)


He is sad because his house looks like an elementary school. And all the children have died. (Dwell, February 2008)


He tried to focus on the novel, and not how much his bedroom reminded him of a plywood coffin. (Dwell, November 2009)


Unhappy Hipsters: a collection of photos from Dwell along with humorous captions. Hilarious.

(thank you sarah)
