Scrabble Pillows!

How adorable are these pillows from shopdirtsa's Etsy shop?! I just love the idea of putting them on the bed.  Maybe in my initials?  There are so many options! 

I am a Total Sequin Maniac

This shirt, from Mango, was made for me.

Jewelry Hanger

I was catching up on the blog decor8 yesterday and came across a post about the home of a Norwegian design blogger, Siw Haveland (blogger of Design Shimmer).  First of all, her home is just incredible.  Her bedroom has to be my favorite room in her house, from the blankets to the closet headboard.  But the most inspirational part of it to me was the way she displayed her jewelry on a hanger...

It is so simple and looks so great!  So I decided to try it myself.  The best part was it only cost me $1 for the ribbon.  (gotta love that half-off Christmas ribbon at Michaels!) I have an accordion closet door, so it can easily be tucked away inside.  I am quite pleased with it :)

New Specs

It's been a loooong time since I've purchased new glasses.  Mostly because they are just so darn expensive! But I have found a savior...Warby Parker Eyeware.  It's an online boutique that sells glasses (frames, lenses and shipping) for a total of $95!! What a steal!  And each time you buy a pair from them, they give a pair to someone in need.  And the selection is pretty stylish!  I've utilized their "at-home try-on" option twice now (they will send you up to 5 pairs for free so that you can try them on!) and finally found a pair for me.  Say hello to the Wiloughby Eyeglasses in striped chestnut. Can't wait to get them!

Happy Thanksgiving!

London and Buses

How adorable is this London Bus Print from Rockett St. George?! It looks so simple and clean and it would look excellent in my living room.  Speaking of buses...I'm about to jump on one to head back to Iowa for the Holiday.  Happy early Thanksgiving!

London Undercover

This has to be the coolest umbrella shop ever.  London Undercover has all these classic and chic looking umbrellas and when you open them up they have these awesome patterns hidden underneath!  They range from maps of London to alphabet soup to pigeons (yuck!).  Pigeons aside, they are all just so great!  These two have to be my favorites.  You can't go wrong with and English breakfast and Fish n' Chips!  Priced in pounds, they are a bit out of my price range, but a girl can dream :)

Downtown From Behind

Have you seen this new blog called Downtown From Behind?  It a collection of photographs of bikers in New York City, all taken from behind.  They are the most amazing photos! This one has to be my favorite.  Don't you just want to know where he's going? I wish those flowers were for me!

Shadowbox

I have a cute little shadow box in my room that is about halfway filled with various knick-knacks I've acquired over the years.  I've always thought that I could get more use out of it, and make it more appealing to look at but I wasn't quite sure how to go about that.  Then today I came across this image of artist Sarah Illenberger's shadowbox which she uses for both knick-knacks as well as jewelry.  Brilliant!  I think I might have to put some nails in mine and get started on this!  Hopefully I can make it look as effortlessly cluttered and cool as she did!

Photo found via Freunde von Freunden.  Check out the rest of the potos of her house.  I swear she designed it with me in mind.  From the furry seat-cover to the globe collection.  I want it all!
