Friday Flickr Five

Happy Friday (and if you’re in the US, happy end-of-summer/Labor Day holiday weekend)! Pictured above is my Thursday impulse purchase from the Gap. Trying out the whole stripey tee thing. It’s a “supersoft” tee, but I’m thinking it will make a fine lightweight sweater too as I adjust to the change of seasons, which tends [...]

Snippets from Paris: Poilâne

Thank goodness Poilâne stays open in Paris during August! I am enchanted with the elegant “Poilâne” script, and I yearn to someday have a lifestyle which incorporates a proper bakery, with bread, and truth be told, yummy cookies like punitions (read more about the story behind their name at Smitten Kitchen).

Emerson Made Clothing

Emerson Made launched a clothing line in August, and wouldn’t you know, my eyes went directly to this eggplant shift. Of course, I will also need a gigantic flower pin as an accent.
See the full clothing line here.

Next visit, I’d like to spend a night or two at the adjoining Boundary hotel: the rooms are inspired by legends of modern design (how would I choose?) And don’t [...]

Snippets from London: Tom’s Kitchen

As anyone who has travelled with me can attest, I am a tenacious researcher. When it comes to meals, I have a list a mile long filled with cafes and lunch spots. When it comes to dinner, I’m a bit of a flake. Thankfully, fate intervened for Friday’s dinner when I realized we were a [...]

Letterpress Alphabet Cards

Love this fresh take on alphabet cards, from Black Dog Art + Press: I’m able to imagine them in adult and kids’ settings. (Put me down for a “P”, please.) Available at Etsy; $5 a card.
