overcast

la garçonne remains the benchmark for dreamy online shops filled with things i would kinda get scrappy over. perfect amounts moody and soft. kill.ing.it.

ps// i took a mini vacation from the blog to complete my M.A. final exams in grad school! apologies.

half a day

new kid on the block travel project 12 hrs. was launched by The Locals photographer Søren Jepsen and writer Anna Peuckert and is really just my kind of travel site, all shops and cafes and thoughtful recommendations for inspiring trips to places that range from Portland, Oregon to Copenhagen. extra points for photography that makes you want to skip your lunch meeting and hightail it to the airport immediately in search of equal amounts of color and adventure (via miss moss).

# need spring visions

you guys, it's spring. well, it's been spring for a bit, but the flowers? they are a-bloomin' in Los Angeles right now.  I have to stop myself from plucking handfuls on my walks home just about every day. my apartment is not very big. it can get to be a little much. plus, live & let live, right? (is it weird that I feel guilty picking flowers sometimes? I feel like it's a death sentence... oh boy). richmond, virgina-based need supply co. is hosting a lovely lil pinterest contest to inaugurate this, the dreamiest of seasons (sigh).  you should probably have a go! the winner takes home a pretty penny worth of magical goodness (and there are second and third prizes, too, hiphip!). read the full rules here! and see the sources for the above spring-inspired images on my entry board.
