sparkle + fade

smitten with this urban outfitters dress in every color way. t'would look marvelous with a bright yellow american apparel oversized clutch . . . or even a simple nude will do.

i can't tell you much about the artist, but i can tell you that i am loving her work! i'm only sorry i was in chicago a month too early to catch her upcoming fix your changes exhibit at ebersmoore.

perfect package || the pureness

had to laugh when i spotted this milk packaging concept for milla confessions.

concept by christy srisanan and erick barrios  ||  images via the dieline

since they're milk cartons, i might confess to my unsuspecting little brother that i used to eat the dry swiss miss powder straight out of the canister . . . double dipping all the way. or that once, when i dropped the box of cheerios, i put them all back in the box and let him eat the rest.

sucka!  (guarantee you his confessions would be much worse, so don't feel too sorry for him)

do you have any childhood confessions worthy of the carton?

hello lady || hello sir

in my mind, the space in the last post is a pretty nice balance of masculine and feminine influence. yes, it leans a slight more fem, but i'm fairly certain hubs wouldn't be out of sorts if our home were similarly decorated. which is good, given my obsession with the space :)

upon noticing the masc/fem balance, i was reminded of a day trip while in chicago a couple of weeks ago. we visited renegade handmade after a very enjoyable brunch with super stylish blogger sarah from design me daily. * brunch was at milk and honey cafe, which i would highly recommend if you're in the wicker park neighborhood anytime soon. * i couldn't help but snatch up these yellow owl workshop greeting cards. they'll likely be framed instead of mailed. i think they'll add a bright, playful punch to our walls.
