pillows, charming and affordable


I came across these lovely felt pillows on Etsy from Cheryland. If I had a kid's room, they'd make a wonderful addition at 7 bucks a pop.

obama style

Word is out that West Coast decorator Michael S. Smith will be POTUS's official White House interior decorator. Michael S. Smith Houses from Rizzoli showcases Smith's "traditional yet not pedantic" style. He has a consistent ability to draw together eclectic elements, good for inspiration, even if you – like me – consider his overall taste conservative.

I bought this coat the other day at French Connection and I love it so. Mine has toggles instead of buckles - much better.

gable bar cart



If I could afford the kind of apartment that had room for a bar cart, I might consider this brass and glass one from Restoration Hardware.

Chocolate Research Facility


A boutique chocolate shop in Singapore that must be owned by a graphic designer. Incredible packaging and beautiful space. I've requested that my co-worked bring some back for me when he's there for his non-chocolate research.

I have a major crush on this folio briefcase bag at Urban Outfitters. Too bad it's not real leather... via youaremyfave.
