Pretty pre-fall looks from Valentino. I’m completely besotted with the first dress: it’s so sparkly, and yet relatively simple. The red tights make it especially striking. See the full collection at Style.com.

Yep, a few minutes of cursory online research is all it took: I’m now officially obsessed with Neyn. A doughnut shop “inspired by European confections” complete with beautiful website and an interesting concept: open only one year, and it’s closing in February! (Which of course is only making me want to visit all the more.) Click around + see if you’re not inspired to visit, too.

A couple of new books I have my eye on are BNN’s Tokyo Shop Identity and Sanrio Days. I am sure the Tokyo book will make me want to drive straight to the airport + visit Japan. And as a proud member of the Hello Kitty Club as a kid, Sanrio Days would have memories flooding back. (I’m already thinking about Kitty, Mimmy + the Little Twin Stars.) Both books are available through Amazon. I may just order both as a birthday gift to me, from me.
proving my point: excerpted doughnut shop "neyn" looks amazing!

Whenever my Google reader updates with items from Melissa’s Tiny Happy shop, I know I’m in for a treat. Today I’m smitten with her sashiko quilted coin purse and pencil pouch. Constructed of navy linen and stitched in cream, they’re simply magnificent.
