Hello, and happy Friday! The scene above is from the SF MOMA’s Blue Bottle Cafe. It’s a must visit when you’re in San Francisco. My buddy and I shared the Mondrian cake and the trifle. He preferred the cake; I liked the citrusy trifle as it felt extra springy. And speaking of spring, Chicago’s snow is melting and I couldn’t be happier. The arrival of spring and warmer weather and longer days is always welcome.
On with the Five:

- The Modern Pantry

I’ll be posting more things fashiony today, as I’m still playing catch up from our weekend away. I plan to talk about San Francisco a bit next week …. how I love that city (and wine country, too).

Pretty, proper, and colorful at Rochas. (Wearable too.) See the fall show at Style.com.

I can’t get this hand glazed, hand cut heart out of my head. So pretty + would make a lovely memento of one’s travels, or favorite place.
dimensions: heart is 6.5″wide; paper is 8.25″ square.

Simple and utterly wearable looks from Marco de Vincenzo’s fall collection. See the complete show at Style.com.

Completely sweet. A letterpress Polaroid album (designed to hold photos from one pack of Polaroid 600 film) from Racing Snail Press.

Quite smitten with this “Industrial” palette from Farrow & Ball. I need a new house to paint.

Lovely colors + textures at Bottega Veneta. See the fall show at Style.com
