help, I'm bored

I know you've seen this cute packaging, but have you played around on the "help I'm bored" section of the website? Very clever.

yay! for sid

Shopping for men's clothing was never one of my favorite things, until Sid Mashburn came to town. You just feel cooler when you walk in the store. Congratulations on being named one of GQ's Most Stylish Men in America. And he (unlike JT) didn't even have to get in a leotard and dance with Beyonce.

inspired

I love this collection of pictures from the inspiration board of the Boston boutique, Looc. Elements of Style's post here about the boutique will make you want to move in immediately.

breath of fresh air

Love the look of these candles by Etsy seller Ol'factory Candle Company. Who knew there was a perfect candle for the golf lover?

nest candles

Speaking of Neiman's, my friend Mary Margaret bought this candle, Moss & Mint by Nest Fragrances, the other day. It's part of Laura Slatkin's new venture, and it smells heavenly.

farmhouse wares

Some pretty things I found while browsing the farmhouse wares site, found via (the most tasteful advertising ever on) {frolic!}. Nice blog, too.

a new dress

I am so proud of my weekend purchase--it's cute, comfortable, and I'm pretty sure it won't require much ironing. Surprisingly, it's Patagonia, so I guess I can wear it to the mall and on hikes in the Andes.
P.S. I love the print--reminds me of Orla.

i like your scarf

Nice scarves, with an even nicer story. Made by A Peace Treaty, found via Creature Comforts.

repetto

Oh, how I love these shoes. I tried to go in the Repetto store in Paris, but there was a line to get in, and we had too much to see.

walker bags

Trying to pack all my shampoo + facewash + sunscreen + lip balm + makeup + etc. has made me realize how nice it would be to have a few of these. Form and function at its best.

it's the little things

I found these little dishes via the precious blog Thoughtful Day. Made by Beehive Kitchenware Company, where I also found lots of other wonderful things. I think I'd use them to rest my spoon between multiple cups of coffee.

ana candles

This picture of my garlic bloom reminds me that I've been wanting to do some candle updating on the mantle. Ana Candles are my favorite; these are the ones I've been thinking about.

On the Fridge

I bought the cutest little set of magnets the other night on Etsy, from seller Paper Menagerie.
If getting little packages in the mail makes you as happy as it does me, then I would recommend getting yourself a little something, too.

Size 6 1/2, Please

Wow, these are really cute shoes. I saw them on ali loves curtis, and hopefully I'll see them soon in my closet. And the best part? They're from Target.

Green + Blue

Currently, I am loving apple green (or fresh clover, according to j.crew) and blue, especially navy blue. Bedroom by Annsley Mcaleer, clothes by j.crew, and notecard by Linda & Harriett.

Cerulean

All the Best did a little thing on the website Cerulean, which has great clothing and accessories. My favorite so far is this Matta top.

Spring Cleaning

This scent from Caldrea will make you want to clean your kitchen. I wonder if it comes in an eau de toilette?

Morning Walk

I am highly motivated to exercise (i.e. walk around the neighborhood) when there is window shopping involved. Spotted some nice window displays this morning, all dressed up for spring.
At Mitzi's Shoe Box, Highland Gifts for Men, and Bella Cucina.

Marimekko

I've always been a big fan of Marimekko, and I loved the fabric on this sofa in the Anthropologie catalog. There is lots more fabulousness at their website.

In the Land of Cotton

Elegant pictures from Billy Reid, in the grand tradition of Southern hunting lodges. Although those heels might not be the best for quail hunting.
