Ear Cuffs from Litter SF

Ok, it feels really wrong to say that I love these, because I was a big (and dorky) fan of ear cuffs when I was like, 10. But really. Really. These are awesome.

Vanities

Lately I am obsessed with and fascinated by vanities. Nothing like bottles and bottles of perfume to make one's heart race.

Toast

Every time I look at photos over at Toast, I get this fantasy of moving into a barn in the country somewhere, with latte-mornings and rocking chair sunsets.

Type face geeks unite!!

Why has no one told me about dafont.com yet? Full of thousands of gorgeous fonts that are simple (really!) to download and install, I about had a heart attack looking through the retro section.

Bonus: be sure to check out the Typewriter section for some great ransom note fonts.

miel and milk

I love the two new pieces just listed at miel and milk.

Fychan Earrings

Devereaux Necklace

Oh my god, with my obsession with old southern homes and the movie Marie Antoinette, Anna French really has to stop making such incredible designs or I will have to wallpaper my house (something I think my landlord would not appreciate).

Hopeless

Hopeless "make[s] luxurious sleepwear and lingerie for women who love vintage styling and meticulously constructed garments. Much of the sewing is hand-finished, using techniques to ensure the longevity of each piece." That's something I can get on board with!

See more Hopeless lingerie here.

Lemon Grove Jewelry

Oh my god, how much do I love these hand-beaded necklaces?

Heimstone

Aaaah, rock on, I love the Heimstone Spring/Summer '09 line.

The Heimstone girl is cool and edgy. But she likes comfort, like the pockets in our dresses. She can wear a Heimstone dress during the day with boots and then change to heels and be ready for the evening. The girl we design for would rather be too formal than too casual.

If this sounds like you, you've found your match in Heimstone. You can read a great article (where this quotation is from) about the label here.

Mari Eriksson

These interior design photos taken by Mari Eriksson are so great. The interiors are so feminine and simple and somehow glamorous; they remind me of what a modern Petit Trianon might look like.

You know how, when you see something really, really awesome, your jaw drops and you say, "Holy ----!"? That's what happened when I first saw Sara Gilbane's interior designs. Holy ----, indeed.

Oh woh, this jewelry is awesome. I love that it's almost gaudy but totally glamorous and classic--like you raided your great-grandmother's jewelry box and threw it all together.
