Bolsas Bonitas

Some of my favorites from the Wayuu Taya Foundation and Bamboula Ltd. which both produce artisan woven bags from South America and Africa respectively.  Neither of these companies are that new to the scene but I love them both and am happy anytime I spot their brightly colored bags.

Happy Window Grate's in Sayulita

If you're on pinterest you may have already seen all or most of these but since they are the perfect content for this blog I had to share.  Window grate's don't sound very exciting but clearly they have a lot of fun potential.  Photographed by Beth Lee during her weekend trip to Sayulita, Mexico.

Pink Dino and his friends

Aren't you jealous of my Pink Dino water bottle?

Slightly unrelated but couldn't leave out the fav vintage jar sitting not far away on my dresser. 

Architectural Details from the High Line Park in NY

Wish I had time to snap more photo's of the coolest thing in Chelsea, the High Line Park!  They call it an "aerial greenway" and it occupies an old repurposed section of the New York Central Railroad.  Wish I could live in one of the awesome apartments that line it.

only the most design savy NY birds drink from this feeder ;)

on a totally unrelated note, my fav espadrilles by Penelope Chivers spotted at the D&A show

Scarves

Life don't get better than a gauzy scarf and some breeze.

See my pinterest for links.  The second shot is by Jose Villa who's photo's I could stare at for hours.

Scuba Style & Stubbed Toes

You may have already caught on to scuba style as a weirdly dominant trend for spring and if you haven't gotten wind of that yet at least you've noticed all the neon.  This post is kinda about those two things but more importantly about Michael Kors subtle foray into the avant garde of foot fashion.  Look down, all the way down.

Stubbed toes are it for Spring.

Do you find this as funny as I do?

Anyway, I do sorta love that black dress and it's perfect cut-out one piece swimsuit reference.
