Museum Nails

Aren't these gorgeous?  I tried to do my own watermelon nails recently and they didn't look half as cute!

Shelf inspiration

Love these shelves.  The combination of books and things and that JFK painting - just lovely.

Kate Spade Stamp

Well this is fantastic. A desk stamp with wonderful phrases? I really wish I had a job that involved stamping things on paper.

Six Years Today

Image

Six years ago I decided to start a blog. And six years later, here I am! Thanks for sticking by - this little blog has gone through the finishing of a thesis, an engagement, a marriage, a new job, a change of country and now another new job. The adventure begins, again!

The First Day of the Rest of the Days

Image

Today is my last day at my job. I've resigned and taken a new and exciting role in a start-up and I feel energized, excited and happy. But I am also so sad to be leaving such wonderful people. If I find people this wonderful elsewhere, then I know I'm making the right decision. So I'm jumping off the ledge - wish me luck!

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Image

I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I just saw The Grand Budapest Hotel and it really is a marvel. So beautifully composed - the attention to detail is awe-inspiring. And it's laugh out loud funny, too.

Wordsmithery

Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby’s house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.

—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Isn't this beautiful? A lovely selection here of the ten best sentences in literature. Read and enjoy!

Shop arrangements

Sometimes the layout of shop shelves can be so soothing, no? I love this design and the colours used, too.

Monochromatic calm

What a comfortable looking room. I love the hanging lights - a very sweet detail.

Anthropologie Jacket

Toying with getting this jacket, even though I rarely wear florals. Could be fun with some ripped jeans, perhaps?

Peaceful Garden

Such a happy-making image. Plants on plants on plants. Yes please!

A2 Cabinet

Love this scalloped cabinet from Swedish designers, A2. Just so pretty.

Heart Stationery Kit

Such a sweet little kit. Nice job, Kikki K.

Little Red Riding Cases

Image

I've been noticing some very cute little pouches on the interwebs of late, and these two are especially cute. I think the pencil roll could work well for make-up brushes, too.

The Souvenir Society

Such little cutie patooties! The Souvenir Society has some gorgeous stationery, including these tags - check it out.

Delicious vacuum mugs

Have you ever seen cuter vacuum mugs? That rabbit with glasses. Gosh. Adorable.

Poppies for Grace pop-up cards

Foxy. Delectably cute stationery notions at Poppies for Grace including these cards and little gift kits, which I love.

The Future

Love everything about this. Just everything. 

Ava notebooks from Dozi

Well these notebooks are delicious. Bright and fun and they all look nice together, too!

YES

Such a nice Friday mantra. Go, you wonderful things! You've got this!

Perfect Parisian Study

Isn't this the sweetest little study nook? Ooh those tiles, too. Just gorgeous.
