Balmain A/W 2011.

Rockstar glam was the look of the runway at Balmain!

It was a sparkle paradise, to say the least.

Happy Monday!

Bookhou.

Loving these laser cut letters...

and this table found at bookhou.

MetroFarm.

How cool are these beds? It has the look of a ginormous lounge chair. I do love the first one, but if I was buying would probably have to go with the second one. Seems a bit to claustrophobic for me.

Decals.

What a great, easy accessory to any wall that might need a tad bit of charm.

Happy House.

Doesn't this home just make you happy?

Bikes.

I am not a bike person. I mean..I like bikes. However, I ride my mother -in- laws cruiser from her college days. It's a bit rusty, makes some funny noises, and the seat is terribly uncomfortable. But, since I do not know much about bikes it is my perfect match.  However I do know many people who are gaga over bikes. So, if you are one of those people you should really check out Icarus Frames.They are pretty much amazing!These frames are built my the very talented and super hip Ian Sutton in Boston. So, check him out, tell your friends and if you can not afford a bike right now or are sticking with your rusty cruiser, support him by purchasing a t-shirt or messenger bag.

By the way, that is not Ian, but an equally cool kid that lives in the SF. So, if you see him cruising on his sweet ride, just yell out "cookieboy!"

Happy Weekend.

I saw this painting by Lisa Congdon while checking out the blog Design is Mine. So simple, but a great reminder.

Bicycles, Chairs, Poppies,Sea Critters and More.

How bad do you want this as your dinnerware? We fell in love at first sight so we registered for almost everything for our wedding. We ended with a ton of it and are so happy with our choice to go this way. Dovetail is made up of the dynamic duo of Josh and Margaret Smith, as well as their latest addition to the family Adelaide and their pup Franny.  I promise you will not be disappointed by the work they do and I am sure if you gave it as a gift the receiver would be super stoked.
