my name is your name

Deborah + Jacqueline, two of my sweet lady friends, are the talents behind my name is your name, a collaboration that brings together original art and casual wear. The line is catered to women, men, and children, in true basic fashion. Not to mention they've got one butt-kicking photographer, Kevin (also my friend), to take these fabulous shots that help bring out the fun and youthful styles of this line, and the designers' personalities.

Oh, and did I mention Kevin also does everything else photography? Especially engagements and weddings. Yes siree Bob. Check him out if you're ever in need of a photographer, for local or destination. He loves hotdogs and hates to disappoint. 

curated goodness from papernstitch

Imeon Design, Noble Town Vintage, Debbie Carlos, and Cynthia Vardhan Ceramics.

. . . . .

Have you checked out Papernstitch recently? The new exhibition, curated by the lovely Brittni, is now up and running for the next month. (And yours truly is also in the mix.)

Brittni has one of the most eye-catching styles I've seen in awhile, and her modern-mixed-with-classic-elegance taste has resulted in finding and showcasing some of the most beautiful shops and swoon-worthy goods floating around the indie community. If you aren't wide-eyed and jaw-dropped from just the first page alone, then...well, honestly, do I even need to go there?

Go ahead. Take a peak. You wont be disappointed.

loop + what a deal

Love Loop!

. . . . .

So word on the street is that Top Ramen is 12¢ a packet at Rite Aid.

I can't remember the last time anything was sold at 12¢. Talk about the deal of the decade.

Completely smitten with these paper art seen on A Little Hut by Patricia Zapata. She also runs a shop, wrote Home, Paper, Scissors: Decorative Paper Accessories for the Home, and shares all of it on her blog.
