Coaster comes with

I love this coast idea created by Dimmalimm. You'll never have to worry about losing your coaster again, plus it adds a little something extra to the typical wine glass.

A cabin in the woods

I am anxiously awaiting our 4th of July trip to "the cabin" located in central Wisconsin. Just a little eye candy to appease me while I count down the days.

Pretty paper cranes

Paper cranes, something I have never taken the time to learn how to do so I appreciate their intricacy and delicacy very much. Happy Friday!

Secret Squirrel

It's been cold and rainy here for the past two weeks and I cannot help but think about cool-weather outfits like these by Secret Squirrel that incorporate sweaters, jackets and tights oh my! It's collections like these that get me excited about fall (even if summer has barely begun!).

Small Magazine

Scott Schuman meet your match, Small Magazine now brings you Summer In The City Street Style featuring oh-so-cute little ones. For those of you who aren't familiar with Small Magazine it is the latest and greatest of online magazines (second to the beloved Lonny). The most recent issue features cool kid designers, play lists for mom and baby and even a pattern for dress up wings! Beware you might read this and instantly dream of play dates, dress up and nap time. OR get super excited with the thought of becoming an uber cool parent like the mag depicts!

Madwell "to buy" list

Living in the Midwest I have anxiously awaited the day Madwell launched an online site. Well the day has finally come. I can now browse my favorite looks from the comfort of my own home, well coffee shop actually (we still haven't gotten internet set up since the move so here I sit along side a latte and delicious chocolate chip and cherry scone!). After browsing the site multiple times over the last few days I have finally narrowed down what is to be only the beginning of my Madwell "to buy" list. I must say out of all of my picks I am most likely to splurge on the cotton blazer as it will get the most mileage. (Top to bottom: cotton garcon blazer $135, pointillist dress $148, worn & torn rail straight jeans $110, the panama hat $58)
