shanna murray wall decals

these wall decals by artist shanna murray are some of the loveliest i've seen. and i just love her product photos... the white decals look stunning against the black chalkboard, and the old photographs add something really special.





you can purchase shanna's decals in her online shop.

remember the amazing studded pumps from louise goldin's spring 2010 collection? they're now available in three colors from topshop! they're out of my price range at $310, but if you can afford to shell out for some amazing footwear, don't wait... i'm sure these beauties won't last long!

my latest obsession... retro cruisers

a few years ago, i was actually afraid to get on a bike. i'd had a couple of bad experiences riding when i was a kid, so i quit cold turkey when i was around 12 years old. at the age of 16, i was confronted by my nemesis while on a trip to germany. apparently everyone rides bikes there, but i was too chicken to get on one (meanwhile, my host stared at me like i was from mars as i stared at the bike like it was toxic)! more recently, bicycles were making a huge comeback as a mode of transportation, and i envied all the hipsters breezing by with the wind in their hair.

last year i finally decided enough was enough. i dragged my old bike out of my parents' garage and timidly started pedaling in the alley behind their house. and guess what? it was like riding a bike. all those years i'd been afraid for nothing... who knew the saying was true?

so now i'm in the market for a real, adult bike, and i'm totally smitten with vintage-inspired cruiser bikes. here are some stylish wheels that will have you riding in style in no time...


from top:

1. women's orange tahiti beach cruiser, $224.99 from overstock.com.

2. liberty of london for target "garla" bike... sadly only produced in a very limited edition, and now sold out. but if you're willing to spend a lot for a collector's item, there are a couple available on ebay.

3. custom-built dutch bike, $399 from republic. this baby is fully customizable, from the tires to the hand grips. pick your favorite colors and make it your own!

paris 26 gigapixels


if you can't visit paris... this is the next best thing!

paris 26 gigapixels is a stunning, high definition aerial tour of la ville-lumière... accompanied by some quintessentially french music from the amelie soundtrack. zoom in to get up close and personal with some of the most beautiful churches, monuments, parks, and residences in the world. this is where i go when i'm feeling "homesick" for paris :)
