Friday Flickr Five

Happy Friday! We’re in full on sports mode at our house. Two soccer games this weekend and lots and lots of practices and cross country meets during the week. But don’t you fret, I’ll still be posting with Fashion Week finds as the shows come in. But first (as always)

On with the Five:

  1. accessories to a picnic
  2. ghislaine de feligonde
  3. they’re moving on up….
  4. today’s backyard harvest
  5. The Golden Hour

Normally, I’d say “see you Monday” but I just know I’ll be poking in over the weekend as pretty things inspire. So see you then.

Jane from ill seen, ill said has introduced me to the most wonderful clothing lines. Her latest find is C.T.plage. I am completely smitten with this wool-cashmere sweater. It looks so light and airy and most of all, completely comfortable. Hope that I make it to Toronto soon to check it out.

It’s also Spring 2010 Fashion Week, starting today in New York. Hooray!

Albion

entrance

I fell in love with Albion from the moment I spotted it in Travel + Leisure’s September issue. The concept of designer Terence Conran, it’s the perfect little shop to poke around in and pick up a few British grocery items. After shopping, I’d have to grab bite at the “caff” or the bakery. And the tote bag is so chic I think I would co-opt it as my permanent shopping bag. The only downside? It’s in Shoreditch/East London and therefore I cannot pop in on a whim. Drat.
