Nice Drawers

This dresser from Vogue Living is amazing. Not only does it have a bird print, cool helmets and antique wood, but the drawers feature photos of each family member. What a great way to organize your knick-knacks!

Psst...Gossip.

Sorry my blog has been kind of quiet lately. I have big news, but I have to bite my tongue for a week or two.

Adding to my Ebay Shop

Psst, I added more to my eBay shop, like those cute six heart tupperware tumblers and a brand new 1950's retro bathing suit. Go here, if you'd like. Thank you! xo

Cloud Bed.

If Elisabeth Dunker were my mom, all I would do is sleep. Her children's beds are amazing. Look at that fabric!

Mini Redhead

Look at this little cutie from A Rare Breed, the awesome Brooklyn-based photo series all about redheads. She's my favorite yet.

Random Question: Venice Hotel?

My babydolls, my dad and grandmother (of wedding hat fame) are going on an adventure to Venice this September. They're looking for an inexpensive but sweet hotel. Any suggestions, my dolls? They would really appreciate it, and, in fact, my dad specifically asked for your advice.

A Little Birdie

Remember this little canary? Today, Luke Stephenson has another bird print for sale on 20x200.

Update: All 222 bird prints sold out in two hours. Wow. Hope you guys were able to get one if you wanted one!

Seascapes

These paintings of the sea and sky are just lovely. Find them in this house on The Selby.

Home Inspiration: The Selby

One thing I am finding really inspiring is the new home tour blog by photographer Todd Selby. He just started but he's already blowing up! His photos would make an amazing book.

Have a lovely day.

I'm swamped with work, so posting will be spotty this week. I'm also feeling kind of uninspired and perhaps need to spend a few days riding my bike and taking it all in. I love you, my dolls!

Ironing for cool people.

My clothes are always kind of wrinkled because I hate ironing. But maybe I would iron more if I had this.

Breakfast with Baby.

In an effort to stop and smell the roses, I've started a new thing: Every Wednesday, I go to Cafe Cluny, a restaurant near me, to eat breakfast and read the New York Times dining section. Sometimes I invite some lovely people. Last week, I was lucky enough to have breakfast with little Jackson and his mama....

...and the week before, I dined with baby Stella and her mama. Thank you for joining me, little dudes! I like eating scrambled eggs with you and letting you play with my cell phone and glasses.

Best of the Blogs

Here's the best of the blogs this week...xoxo

Cute alphabet poster.

New blog The Selby shows people's cool, off-beat homes. (Via For Me, For You)

Kanye West is a good dresser. Also: Sexy underwears.

The quest for the perfect cookie.

A NYC vending machine sells ideas. So curious to see what they are.

I'm loving A.P.C.'s fall/winter men's collection. (Alexei, take note.)

Lolita is everywhere! (More specifically, here and here.)

I saw this movie last night and can't stop thinking about it. Highly, highly recommended.

Just add googley eyes.

Clear Glasses

I'm loving the new trend of clear glasses. (Even J. Crew has them.) Less enthused, Alexei told me his mom wore in the 80's, but isn't that kind of the point?

The House that Kids Built

Look what happened when Kate-Spade-partner Pamela Bell dedicated her home's decor to her three kids. See more here.

Half Awake and Half Asleep

Speaking of water, I adore Asako Narahashi's series half awake and half asleep in the water. The brave photographer floats chest deep in the ocean near Japanese coastal towns and holds her waterproof camera half-submerged. By watching the waves without using the viewfinder, she times her pictures according to the swells of the ocean.

I love how her photos feel both calm and scary at the same time. (If you're in New York, you can have a beer with her at tonight's opening. Sounds fun.)

Home Inspiration: Floating Houses

I have long been in love with the Utter Inn, a cherry-red hotel sitting smack in the middle of a Swedish lake. As you fall asleep, you can watch the fishies in the underwater bedroom; when you wake up, you can swim or row an inflatable canoe into town!

Well, now I'll be adding this floating house (in the Midwest, no less!) to my daydreams, too. See more photos here. Awesome.

In Paris, even the babies are chic.

Bangs, a sundress, mini gladiators. Sacrebleu.

Little Mr. Bean

My new friend Kate Hutchinson always sees this kid riding his Big Wheel around their neighborhood. A few weeks ago, he was dressed in a suit, so she figured that he must have just gotten home from a formal event. But when she chatted with his grandfather, she discovered that he had come home from school and decided to dress like Mr. Bean for the rest of the day! What an awesome little dude!

Home Inspiration: Mix of Patterns

Mixed patterns make a bed look so casual, happy and enticing.
