School Supplies on a String
How cute would wearable school supplies be for your middle-school daughter's first day jewels?? Found these on MiniEco - I think they're insanely adorable for back-to-school. Especially with a uniform!! :)

The Boho Braid
Stumbled upon this wonderfully boho-chic hairdo idea from the Beauty Department, and I'm feeling excited at the prospect of moving on from my ever-present fishtail. :) Braids are so especially fabulous for making do in the summer heat - helps keep those tresses off and away from sunbathed faces. Plus, how fun is this one??
Baby Prints
Being that I have gotten a nice amount of inquiries about the bag hanging out on my From the Desk of post, I thought I'd let you dear readers in on this: spotted a nice stash of über-cute signature Oilily printed diaper bags at some generously reduced rates over at Zulily today. If you're a fellow print-lover, head on over there before the goods sell out!
Here & Hair
We're having a sick day here at home this Monday. Freida picked up a stomach virus and has been up all night (and I mean all night!) throwing up. Parenthood never ceases to amaze me, and when a child goes through 7 pairs of pajamas, 3 crib sheets, 2 queen sheets, 2 pillow cases, some carpet tiles (I kid you not!), and her sleep-deprived parents continue to pleasantly and dutifully clean up, wipe up, and change her - it's motherhood magic! My sick little girl was crying for water, but every chug she took induced another bout of vomiting minutes later. Definitely not the most glamourous part of parenting; but by far, the most radical embodiment of human care. Anyways, poor Freida is doing much better now, thank God, and has pretty much spent the day sleeping on and off and slowly ingesting fluids and soup broth. I on the other hand, have enjoyed this much-too-tired-to-do-anything-else low-key of a day; working on my recipe cards, and playing around with different hot-mess looks for my (shaitel) hair via this and that:

Hopefully Freida will be feeling better soon, but for now these options are nice break from my usual.
Weekend Round-up!
This iLog totally made me smile. What do you know? Lag BaOmer meets 2011! (Humor aside, this wooden iPad charging dock would make for a fabulous Fathers Day gift, don't you think?)
Here are some other links from around the web that I have been meaning to share:
- A shocking and most fantabulous Target collaboration!!!
- Honest Pinocchio - most charming of classroom supplies.
- Summer decorating tips from the pros via Anthropologie.
- Most awesome baby moccasins: gilded leather + neons stitching.
- H.D. Buttercup's "Almost-Giving-it-Away Sale"!
- Shout-out of thanks to those creative and childish minds at Classic-Play for the mention!! :)
Also, if you are in the greater Los Angeles area, my supermom of a sister-in-law's (Esther Schwartz) closest-to-homeschooling preschool, Gan Chai, is now open for 2011-2012 registration!! If you want the benefits of homeschooling + the social and developmental achievements of a preschool that will help instill independence and cultivate young jewish pride - visit Gan Chai online for more information. Freida is a die-hard fan! :)
Wishing you all a lovely weekend! Enjoy the food + fire festivities!!
