My Mantra

"April showers bring May flowers... April showers bring May flowers... April showers bring May flowers..."

I have to keep reminding myself that all this rain will be worth it some sunny May day.

Great Sytle Never Gets Old

Check out this photo of Emily's great grandmother at a family wedding. The dress! The hair! The accessories! I would wear this right now. Kudos, great gram- you're totally fly.

Belle of the Summit

There are a number of reasons I wouldn't want to be the German Chancellor. But, number one on my list this week would be having to keep the stylish company of Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy at the NATO summit. But I love how Chancellor Merkel steals the stage in this picture. And, she is the effing Chancellor of Germany afterall, so cut the woman some slack (or slacks! bah-dum-ching!), she's got more on her mind than fitted silhouettes and J. Crew cardigans*.

*Blasphemy! Did I just diss Michelle?! I never thought the day would come. That being said, she has more on her mind, too. I still love you, Michelle!

What's In A Name?

Wolff Olins is a branding master. But, they don't save all their great ideas for clients. Check out the fun they had with their own name.

Studio Choo Flowers

I'm loving the color combo in these arrangements from Studio Choo.


And using a washed out tin can for a vase? Perfect. You may be seeing these on my kitchen table soon.
