I just discovered myregistry.com when two of my friends registered for their wedding.  I love,love,love this concept, it’s finally an organized way to register for lots of the items that you really love that happen to be at smaller stores.  For instance, they registered for products from A+R, and all sorts of amazing design objects from other small boutiques.   You can also register to bigger stores all in one website, i.e. Target,Crate&Barrel and all the other usual places, and you can set up a honeymoon fund,or house fund too!

I love this polka dot dress from Urban Outfitters…

I’ve been really into all the acid wash denim that’s been out lately, but it seems to only look good on tall girls…but this little number I’m loving since it could work on someone small like me! This dress is from the UK shop, River Island.

I’m loving the illustrations of David Downton.

I love this watch by Michael Kors.  I love the double band and the same gold tone throughout the entire design.  I’ve been really into watches lately, socially it’s so much more polite to glance at one’s watch when you need to check the time than pulling out a cell phone.

It’s been a while since I’ve designed clothes, and lately I’ve been missing the sketching process. In my textile designs I’ve grown so accustomed to working on the computer that I no longer sketch out my designs first.  I’ve been craving piles of papers and markers strewn about.  I love the illustrations of Garance Dore, so inspiring.

I’m loving the blog ‘What I Saw Today’, by Richard Haines.  His illustration style is nice and casual.

I love Lovisa Burfitt’s fashion illustrations.

I love the simplicity of this summer sandal…$229
