clockwise from top left

ikea solsta sofa bed only $149(!!!) I really want to try to snag it while it's super cheap; men's cameo ring from erie basin, it sadly isn't in his shop any longer but I still love it; lovely autumn wreath how-to from my new favorite blog, A Beautiful Mess; old navy plaid skirt; Tim Gunn's book Gunn's Golden Rules (a great and fast read!); this map pillow really inspired me this week; MINI PUMPKINS!; the Archeologist's Daughter Dress from ModCloth; my halloween candy of choice this year, Butterfingers; Langston glasses from Warby Parker, I love everything about this company.

mad (monster) men

Has Sesame Street always been this on top of popular culture? I was a big fan of the neighborhood back in the day. They are so current lately, spoofing Mad Men,True Blood, and the Old Spice Guy.

Also check out True Mud, and Smell Like a Monster.

Moo.

Mmmmm...cake

San Franciscan artist Paul Fernay recently collaborated with is wife Jordan Fernay on the series Let Them Eat Cake. I'm loving the texture and variety. I would love to own one of these but I think it would just constantly make me crave cake!



See (and buy) the whole series here.

embroidery with a purpose

I've been using embroidery as a medium more and more lately and really love the results. I am always looking for ways to blur the line between my crafty side and my everyday graphic design work and when I happened upon the work of Evelin Kasikov it blew my mind. It is such a modern take on a traditional idea.

Took at her site for more great embroidery-design projects.

i want this

I'm suppose to be on a fabric buying freeze but this tempts me. Think of all the wonderful you could make out of this.
