Kate Spade Debut!

Holy Mack! Have you seen the new Kate Spade collection? I'm so in love with each of these pieces but if I had to pick just one, it would be the Madeleine Mona Coat (top left). I'm considering selling a kidney so I can justify owning that coat...

Mastering the Art of French Cooking

On Saturday the Dr and I went to see Julie and Julia. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was awesome and I left the theatre feeling so inspired that I went out the very next day and found a hardcover edition of Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. First up is Julia's famous Boeuf Bourguignon!

I can't resist

Ok so these aren't actually my new converse.... But if I ever found a pair of these I wouldn't be able to resist owning them. They are absolutely adorable; almost as adorable as the blog I found them on.

Kate Spade

oOo la la. New website... New debute clothing collection... What's next over at Kate Spade?

Significant Objects

I spotted this over at ApartmentTherapy this afternoon and couldn’t resist sharing.

“For Rob Walker and Joshua Glenn’s latest project, Significant Objects, they find inexpensive collectibles at thrift stores and garage sales and match them with writers who write a fictional story about each object. The item and the story are then posted on eBay for anyone to bid on, sometimes fetching 10 times what was originally paid… The story about the spotted dogs above by Curtis Sittenfeld actually made our heart skip a beat”

The part of the story about Larry and Bernadette reminds me of myself and the Dr – minus 40 years, alfalfa sprout pantyhose and said hefty-ness. We are those people who hold hands when we walk down the street, kiss goodbye in the elevator every morning, and can’t wait to see each other at the end of the day. I like to believe that 40 years down the road, like Larry and Bernadette, we will still be as smitten as the day we met.

Speak into my good ear...

New To Me :: Design Mom

Ok so I’m a bit late to the gate on this one, but I just discovered Design Mom’s blog and I’m in awe of all her great ideas and fantastic pictures. I’m not in the habit of revealing other people’s lives on my blog, but I will provide the link to this series of pictures and tell you that her children have A.W.E.S.O.M.E names.

Another discovery - these two talented ladies are sisters. It’s a small world.

Blog Break

Today I'm at home getting ready for the weekend. The Dr and I are off to visit our families and devour all the homemade deliciousness they can throw at us. I had planned to start packing last night but our friends invited us out for a delicious Vietnamese dinner. We both had the vermicelli with chicken and beef (note to self: get pork and beef next time!) peanuts and a springroll, and bubbletea for dessert. We all lead busy lives but isn't it wonderful to have the kind of friends who will call you up at a moments notice to hang out?! It just feels so genuine to receive a spur of the moment invitation.

I'm going to be taking a bit of a blog break while we are gone but I promise to be back by Tuesday with more lovelies to share!

Here are some of my favorites from the past week or so-

• I must get a bike after reading Alicia's blog this morning
• Easily one of the most touching journals I've ever read - thank you for sharing Phillip!
• She makes me want to take a sewing class!
• The houseguest has returned
• Fashion + Weather = Feather - Brilliant!
• I am sensing a road trip - Montreal Design Guide
• If it were up to me this one and this one would win
• I'm going to have to clean my purse so I can participate

Happy Easter! - Happy Passover!
