theHach @ 6:15 PM
When I was in elementary school & junior high, I'd be the one splurging on the mega gel pen set & the super jumbo pack of crayons (and arranging them according to color:) I still can spend an hour in the art store just looking at paper, stamps, & pens. I think I finally found my soulmate art supply store - theHach, a mother & daughter duo based in Canada. Here are a few of my favorites.

no cavity club @ 12:17 PM
Growing up, my brothers & I always went to the dentist together. We'd be in the playroom after our appointments and as soon as one of us walked in we'd all ask "Cavity club?!". Flash forward 20 years and I still get super excited to tell someone "No cavity club!".

Amorouse @ 9:35 AM
I adore these vintage 60's inspired bandeau sets by Amorouse (French for "in love"). All bathing suits are made to order and take about 4-5 weeks to make & ship. They remind me of Rachel McAdams' suit in The Notebook!

Fancy Drawers @ 10:18 AM
If you exchange gifts with a friend frequently (holidays/birthdays), you'll find it gets tricky sometimes. You need to remember what you got them last and what they got you - what's going on in their life, what they recently bought, what they need, etc. It's a tedious (but fun!) task.
A few months before Christmas, I saw these gorgeous Chevron drawer liners from Hammocks & High Teas. I knew as soon as I laid eyes on them, they'd be perfect for my friend Melissa. She just recently moved, loves gold, & probably wouldn't buy them for herself. I paired it with a super cute Anthropologie candle (also white & gold) and was very eager for her to open it. Christmas came and not only did she love it, but Melissa had picked out the same exact drawer liners for me! I've really never had that happen to me, but was so happy because you usually end up really liking what you gift. Plus she paired it with some gorgeous Rifle Paper Co. Cards & stationary.
Anyways, I've been meaning to share these gorgeous liners with you for awhile! Unfortunately, the Gold chevron liners are sold out - but they now offer them in Silver & Pink.

New Year's Resolution #2 @ 8:57 AM
Just ordered one of these adorable 2012 planners from Julia. The design is fun, clean - plus it's perfect for my endless to do lists & won't look embarrassing on the subway.
PS - Happy Friday (the 13th!!) and a long weekend (hopefully)! We have had our first official mouse sighting in the apt since we moved in, so I'm sure the next couple days will be all about setting traps and a little less sleep for me. Wish us luck!

Pocket People @ 9:37 AM
I came across these Pocket People on Etsy and literally laughed out loud at the descriptions. Handmade by Nicola Rowlands, each one of these little people has a personality of their own. Take Craig for example:
"Craig cooks a killer spaghetti bolognese and has hairy feet. Very good at hugging. Favours a hunting sock and a goosedown vest in a pocket-sized format for portability (and even sharing.)"
Perfect gift for: A friend in a new city or someone who's travelling.

Double Finger Ring @ 12:30 AM
Would you wear a double finger ring? I had an inexpensive brass double finger ring from Urban Outfitters about a year ago that I lost, but I really loved wearing it. I thought it would be uncomfortable, but it really wasn't. I love these rings from Satomi Kawakita, a New York City jewelry designer that grew up in Japan.

gift guide // part 1 @ 12:11 AM
Last week, my mom asked me about my Christmas list because a woman she works with was waiting to see it for ideas for her own daughters. Apparently my mom likes to share my Christmas list, so I've decided to share a gift guide each week to help spur some gift ideas for the upcoming holidays.
Here is part 1 of my gift guide: the city girl who really needs new jeans, but would rather have a vintage record player. Next week's guide will be a post for the boys.
/ 001 record player // 002 shoes // 003 tote // 004 bike // 005 bunny // 006 clutch // 007 candle // 008 stationary /
