Fashion Week – Prada

love love love love

Prada’s fall line was full of gorgeous details (and deeply cut necklines that I’m assuming will be shortened for retail). See the full collection at style.com. Huge swoon from me.

Felix Doolittle: Gallery

personal stationery

I’ve been a fan of Boston based Felix Doolittle stationery for a while now. (I often visit the website just to look at artist Felix Fu’s charming Frog Pond and Red Sox illustrations, and I love using his holiday return address labels.) Little did I know that tucked away under “gallery” is a collection of utterly gorgeous custom illustration work. I’m going to have to squirrel away some money to commission a set of my very own. But how to choose? Just look at what I found ……

I need a new flower shop!

My beloved flower shop, Ex Floreus, provider of many peony and ranunculus bouquets, has closed. Any recommendations for a Chicago area flower shop (northern suburbs would be preferred) are most welcome. My first preference would be for Winston Flowers to open down the street, but I don’t see that happening any time soon …..

Kari Herer’s lovely flower photos have me crazy for more ranuncs

Are you loving Moschino’s pretty flowers for fall as much as I am? Milan is blowing me away. See the complete Moschino show at style.com.
