I love chalkboards. I wish I could write on them better! Can you imagine what Emily Poe’s (of Sparrow Nest Script) calligraphy would look like on chalk? If you are a fan of this style of art, check out Dana Tanamachi’s work. She is phenomenal. I also just found out that she did the album cover chalk art for one of my favorite artists, Christy Nockels.

I saw this invitation set on Oh So Beautiful Paper and fell head over heels for it. Lauren of Balue/Co. designed them for her friend, and I want them now. Doesn’t the kraft paper add the perfect wooden/floral touch? Love. Love. Love.

As a stationary lover, I am naturally head-over-heels in love with Paper Source. I went recently to find some crafty ways to wrap the gifts I had bought for {s}. I ended up leaving with my hands full, including a splendidly spontaneous purchase – paper straws for Apartment 335! These are the perfect decoration, especially for summer cocktails. For a light, refreshing drink, try a St. Germain Cocktail – a favorite for me and {m}.
Those who are close to me know that I drink quite a bit of coffee. It’s not the caffeine I crave, it’s the warm, delicious beverage, stored in a bright ceramic cup, held tight in my hand while inhaling the rich aroma.
However, I went to a dietitian last week, and she told me what I have known (and ignored) for a long time: I drink far too much coffee (6 cups on average) and entirely too little water (3 cups max). Since my appointment, I have not had a sip of my dearly beloved coffee and have downed about 14 cups of water a day (seriously!). In a sad farewell to my coffee obsession, I thought that I should appropriately dedicate a post to coffee tables, which I find quite lovely. They can add so much flare to a room with the smallest touches. {m} has created the most beautiful display on ours! I’ll also note that I plan on writing/designing a coffee table book one day, just like Emily’s Cupcakes and Cashmere: The Book.

When it comes to hair, I’m not a big fan of fancy updos – I prefer a more natural, wavy, and pinned back look, with a gorgeous barrette or a pretty Anthro-esque band. What do you think?
