a clever idea.

I am off for the weekend, but I just had to share this idea from the new print magazine Anthology. Wallpaper made from the pages of old books? Call me smitten.

thought of the day : can't.

apparel & accessories collection : black and gold.

I know that it's more of a winter color combination, but I think black and gold is going to be worn by yours truly a whole lot this fall. It's just such a classic.

another pretty little dress...

...that I have my eyes on over here. Baby pink, black, and bows- three of my favorite things. (on sale for £15)

interior inspiration : vintage collections.

Oh, how I love seeing other people's collection of vintage beauties. I feel a sort of kinship with others who scour estate sales, antique shops, and thrift stores for old goodies. Around our home, we have collections of old cameras (film and video), records, vintage fisher price toys, photographs of people with their pets, and little animals. What do you collect?
