Vosges Easter 2010.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:03:00 +0000

My day was made when I received a surprise box from Vosges with a few samples from their Easter 2010 line of goodies. Including this yummy Amalfi Bunny (lemon zest + pink peppercorns + white chocolate) and these delicious Bacon and Eggs (soft bacon caramel + dark chocolate). Can't wait to dig in! PS: The rest of the Easter line is equally drool-worthy!

Modern Rock Brilliant Studs.

A few weeks ago I lost the back to one of my diamond earrings. Somehow the actual stud stayed in my ear throughout an entire shower, sans back. Heart attack. I'm loving these Modern Rock Brilliant Studs and not even because of the heart attack thing. {via Blah, Blah, Blahg}

Liberty of London + MAC Cosmetics.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:00:00 +0000

As if Liberty of London pairing up with Target this month wasn't enough to get my heart beating faster, they've also teamed with MAC cosmetics for an unbelievable bright and edgy line of makeup. The packaging even celebrates LoL's most famous prints. Sign me up!

DIY Floral Wall.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:30:00 +0000

I love the rough-around-the-edges look of the floral wall in Ruche's spring lookbook. Feminine without being too sugary sweet. Ruche was kind enough to put together a little tutorial detailing how they constructed them out of butcher paper for us on their blog. Would be gorgeous suspended from the ceiling, too. {via black white bliss}

Picnic Set.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:09:00 +0000

After tons of rain yesterday including a flooded front yard today is gorgeous! I woke up at 6:30 to find the sun already peeking over the horizon, blue skies and birds chirping. Spring is literally sitting on the doorstep waiting to be invited in.

I've never been a big picnic person, but I'm hoping to change that once things dry up. In no small part thanks to this picnic set by Carina Ahlburg that I just can't get enough of.

Sky Planters.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:30:00 +0000

It's official! I've got spring on my mind and all that comes with it. Quality time spent outdoors, patio parties with friends and all things green. In the meantime I'd settle for a few of these Sky Planters indoors. Fresh herbs in the kitchen? Yes, please!

Snoozer Loser NY.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:15:00 +0000

Spring is about being flirty, being outside and wearing flowing fabrics. Snoozer Loser NY captured it all in their spring collection this year. Here are just a few of the pieces I'd like to add to my wardrobe.

Alessi Mediterraneo Kitchen Jars.

Coral seems to be making a resurgence lately, so I couldn't help but linger on this set of four kitchen jars by Alessi Mediterraneo. They remind me of something vintage and right out of the 70s. {via Layers of Meaning}

Commemorative Motorsport Bags.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:00:00 +0000

I'm mad for these Commemorative Motorsport bags from Caracalla Bagaglio. Each bag is fashioned after past triumphs of famous race cars and their drivers. But you don't have to be a racing fan to appreciate the gorgeous aesthetic of these weekend getaway bags. The detailing is immaculate, even the color schemes of the leather closely mimic their respective cars. {via Cool Hunting}

Organic Avenue.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:15:00 +0000

My mom has a collection of mini milk bottles from her hometown. I love the thick glass and raised ink of the logos. And I think that's what draws me to this packaging from Ocean Avenue. Although the pretty colors and likelihood of tastiness are also high on my radar! {via The Dieline}

Penguin Classics + Project (RED).

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:06:00 +0000

I feel like I post something about Penguin almost every other week, but it's just because they're that on top of things. Like this collaboration with Project (RED) and a team of obviously talented designers. Eight covers were given the once over, replacing the classic black band with red and using a memorable quote from the book as the main visual.

spinthread has been making its rounds for a few months now, but it wasn't until I saw Erin's necklace in person at the Alt Summit that I really fell for Lorena's work. And wow, have I fallen hard. I love her attention to detail and all the vibrant color combinations she uses.

Age Maps.

noreply@blogger.com (Kelly) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 16:45:00 +0000

I'm very intrigued by artist Bobby Neel Adams Age Maps project. By splicing together two photos of the same person – as child and adult – Adams' has created a visual time jump. Lovely. {via d.Sharp}

Smoking always looks so damn glamorous. It's too bad about the smelling bad and cancer parts.
