Come Together/Fall Apart

“We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart.”

– Pema Chödrön (via The Mindfulist)

A Cowboy, Baby

I think the cowboy boot is such a cute trend. I love these for Spring paired with some short-shorts. How could you dare not walk with a cowboy swagger?!

I like colorful accessories because if you have a mostly neutral closet like I do (full of grays and blacks), it’s an easy way to bring a lot of change.

I think it would be worth it to throw a masquerade party just to wear this paper owl mask. How gorgeous and fun!

Self-Promotional Calendar, c. 1970

calendarvintage

Love the numbers on this 1970 self-promotional calendar designed by Terzostudio (Giorgio Tramontini) and how the bleed or smear into the next. Creates a sense of motion and time lapsing… wish it were for sale today!

Pure Love

Should this beautiful all-white house be in a row of other modern houses, it wouldn’t look twice as cool.

I am also adoring the Robert Indiana Love print. Ryan and I were in Philly recently for a wedding and got to see the statue from afar several times.

Block Loft Table

newloft2

Once again, I am entranced with the dark block table in the middle of an open-plan loft. I haven’t seen anywhere to buy these types of cubes though. I’ve seen white ones at CB2, but no dark-colored blocks. Anyone?
