If he didn't have a beard... I'd snag these ties up at once!

Spring Finger
I so love this time of year: purging the bathroom drawer of cloudy gray, muted plums, and too-deep red shades of nail polish. They were beautiful, and they served me well through winter; but now it's time to shine! Can't wait to stock up on these new $6 neon nail lacquers from American Apparel! Aside from the sheer fun of rainbow-on-steroids nail color, you wouldn't believe how exciting neutral get-ups (hello, summer khaki!) can get when paired with neon crazy finger-tip color!
The Royal Smooch!
Weekend Round-up!
So glad to be wishing you a glorious spring weekend!! Here in our neck of the woods the temperature spiked to 90° (!!), and then dropped low again with an even drizzle... Weather's gone bipolar! Hopefully we'll be hitting the beach sometime in the next few weeks for the start of our Sunday-by-the-ocean-season. For now, we are enjoying (albeit interruptedly!) the freshness of the first of spring sunshine.
This weekend Freida is experiencing her first "sleepover". Her best-buddy-cousin Zali is joining us on his own for 2 days, and so far they've been a double delight! Zali has 3 older rambunctious brothers and I was curious to witness the many ways I'd see that difference in reference to Freida being a dainty only one in this family. For about an hour after we brought the little guy to settle in our apartment, I hardly heard a peep from either of them as they played sweetly (yes, I was spying) at the play-kitchen in Freida's room. After the first 30 minutes I decided to go in and check out the progress. There they stood, side by side, each holding a lid on a pot resting on the play-kitchen elements. Freida called out for me to, "taste my soup, Mama?" while Zali held the lid tight and declared with wide-eyes, "I caught a frog!". There you have it folks; a little boy and little girl. :)
Here are some things I've been meaning to share with you this week:
- The epitome of a simple + chic spring outfit.
- Most depressing thing I've come across all week.
- Liberty of London + Nike? Yes, please!
- Things like this not only make me sick, but force me to side with the feminists movement.
- #1 reason for needing a knitting lesson: this hat!
- I could live in these shoes all summer long!
- Supremely adorable music video for Kate Spade Collection.
Happy Spring Sunday!!!
Felt & Rope
I've previously mentioned being smitten by a dyed rope bracelet, but I've only now just discovered where you can actually get a hold of one, plus some of the designers other accessories - and they are screaming spring!
Apparently, the designer, Tanya Aguiñiga has been producing novelty furniture for a while now, and I've found a favorite in her felted line. Fantastic pieces given a warm and wooly go-over. I love the way she works with all these organic matters - woolen furniture and cotton rope jewelry have got to be some of the hottest mod-novelties out there at the moment...!
You can get her jewelry here, and you can also check out more goods on her website.
