Love the simplicity of these custom letterpress cards from Anemone Letterpress. I think they had me at “font”. (Cheltenham Bold Outline) See more examples here.

Fashion Week – Vera Wang

Vera Wang’s spring collection was chock-full of pretty things that are just my style. Chunky necklaces, gorgeous color, and the overall sense of luxe. See the full collection at style.com.

I liked these two dresses from Calvin Klein’s spring collection. (Yes, another strapless. They look great on other people.) See the rest at style.com.

Friday Flickr Five

arugula parmesan walnut salad | simple pretty

Happy Friday! Are you ready for some photos? Above is a pic I took of Thursday’s “linner”. So yummy: used up all of the arugula from my csa box + one pear, then added parmesan and walnuts. Kind of counteracts the heavy cookie rotation.

On with the Five:

  1. red
  2. an old leaf
  3. bountiful
  4. It’s Coming on Autumn
  5. 9/365…I had a title but now I can’t remember

Have a great weekend! If you’re in Chicago, see you Saturday (or Sunday if it’s a rainy Saturday) at the Renegade Craft Fair. I have a list of booths to check out.

Hopefully, this will be my final bee update: apparently, when you treat a bee/yellow jacket nest, the bees don’t just keel over. It takes 24 – 48 hours for it to take effect. In the meantime, I get to run a bee hostel in the basement while they think about what they’ve done.

See you later with fashion. I’m thinking Vera Wang and Calvin Klein …. and we’ll see who else.
