May the Fourth be With You


Did you know that today is National Star Wars Day?  I didn’t either…  Also, up until I was in my mid-twenties I had only seen Star Wars in Spanish (thank you, Mrs. Gentile – Spanish 2).

Not a super-fan myself, I do love to listen to my nephews talk about light sabers, and intergalactic battles.  One nephew even refers to Mark as Bobo Fett from time to time.  So on this May the fourth, I will celebrate with the best of the Jedi Knights with a Star Wars picture that has always made me laugh.

Good weekend, you shall have.

 

A Summer in sun or shade?


I just got the May 2012 Anthropologie catalog and let me say, I swooned.  Big hair, reddish lips, soft fabrics, sun-kissed cheeks.

These are some of my favorite looks for shade and sun.

How Inviting and Enlightening


I recently spotted the most beautiful modern invitations from Bella Figura.  The letterpress set is a simple card awash in organic metallic shades in a brushstroke that is reminiscent of the most whimsical stalactites.  How romantic, right?

It reminded me of the way hints of light, and touches of gold can really change the mood.  Like in these sweet, perfectly lit settings:

Ornaments for the Arm


A trend that is popping up around Pinterest is the pairing of a chunky men’s watch with glittery and girly bracelets and bangles.  I love the look and while it might make typing a bit noisy I think it would be very fun for after hours.
