Worth Noting

As you can maybe tell, I've been off the internets lately dealing with some rather big personal changes (like buying a home!) But in the meantime, here are a few quick and good things you should know about:

1. Loving the illustrative art of Cecilia Carlstedt. 2. Let's talk about how Madeline Weinrib and Monolo Blahnik is a match made in shoe heaven (these are my favorites). 3. Thank you Matchbook for introducing me to this Slim Aarons gallery. 4. Allow me to introduce you fellow design nerds to Collate — designer Dave Smith's dedication to beautiful printed matter. and 5. Keeping my eye on this oh-so-happy Rubie Green fabric!

|1| DVF is churning out some really interesting pieces this season. I love this drapey, textural blouse. |2| Hermés has launched a fun new Spring/Summer campaign: A Sporting Life! (found on Katie's blog) |3| Repetto, twist my arm why don't you? These stripey periwinkle flats are just plain darling. |4| I really wish my employee discount applied at Circa lighting, because I adore this painterly Lauren Ralph Lauren Home lamp.
