"New York," by Kat Macleod- first appeared in The Cocktail, 2005 (Via Oh Joy!)
And so, I am off to Connecticut for a couple of days and then New York City for all of next week. I won't be blogging tomorrow, but I am going to try to keep it going regularly starting Monday. See you then- have a wonderful weekend!

currently loving : paper straws.
After seeing these photographs produced/styled by the always-talented Paul Lowe of Sweet Paul, I knew that I had to get myself some old-fashioned striped paper straws. Luckily, they are available from Kikkerland for a mere $3 for a box of 50. Just perfect.

ten images of inspiration : street fashion.
It is easily my favorite form of fashion. I love seeing the way people express their personalities through style and how outfits are put together for everyday life.

a beautiful home peek...
I could not help but share these film photographs I took from inside the home of Andrea and Ward. I was lucky to be invited there yesterday and was in complete awe of how beautifully designed and cozy the entire place is, filled with old typefaces, gorgeous artwork, antique signage, and vintage one-of-a-kind pieces from head to toe. The thing that amazes me about their home is that they somehow mix quite a few different styles (midcentury modern, flea market style, etc.) and make it work perfectly. I think I could spend an entire day in there just snapping my camera- it's just too inspiring. Now Andrea and Ward, can I please move in?
For more of their home: an interview & photos on Cafemom, Andrea's Home set, and my own Flickr set, which will have more added to it later.
