Missed Connections @ 9:39 AM
Ever meet someone and wished you had said something? Sophie Blackall has been trying to re-connect those people through her Missed Connections blog, kind of like a modern day Sleepless in Seattle. She illustrates Missed Connections found on websites. Her illustrations are amazing, you might recognize her work from the newest NYC subway illustration . Anyways, check out her amazing blog - who knows maybe one is about you :)

Happy (Long) Weekend! @ 10:05 AM
This weekend I'm hoping to visit the Brooklyn Flea, hang out at the laundromat, & try marbling. Inspired by Ilana Kohn's work & blog, I have been dying to try it out. I will post some photos if all goes well ;) Have a happy weekend!

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.

The 20's @ 9:50 AM
I finally got the chance to see Midnight in Paris and loved the idea of going back to different eras. Everyone has a favorite and I can't choose between the 20's and the 60's, except these designers have me swaying me towards the 20's.

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!

Fifi Lapin @ 8:07 AM
I immediately fell in love with Fifi Lapin. Fifi is by far the most fashionable bunny I've seen. Keep track of Fifi's outfits via the blog & if you are interested in purchasing anything from the shop - be sure to place your orders before Dec. 1st!
P.S. would make a perfect gift for a baby girl's room or a fashionable friend*
* this is my favorite!*

Emily + Scott @ 8:47 AM
I had an amazing time at Emily & Scott's wedding Saturday night. It was my first New York City wedding and it definitely felt like the perfect city wedding. Emily did an amazing job planning all the details and did the most adorable dance with her dad.
They wed in this gorgeous room in the Yale Club.
Detailed celing.

tea time @ 12:11 AM
I recently gave one of these gorgeous Bellocq tea tins to a friend and I fell in love with them myself. They make me feel like I'm in the 1920's with this chic packaging, I kind of want to collect them all. Plus after the teas gone, these tins can serve as decoration or storage for anything else.
**BELLOCQ has just relocated their tea atelier to Greenpoint, Brooklyn and open today at 12pm :) Hooray!

wrap london @ 12:00 AM
From the catalog to their dresses (especially the Saski Velvet Dress), I fell in love with Wrap London. They remind me of a mix between Steven Alan & Free People, which of course is perfect. And they ship to the U.S. :)
