FASHION: [lanvin | kids | resort 2012]

Lanvin's Creative Director, Alber Elbaz debuted the new addition to the Lanvin family earlier today at the end of his Resort 2012 show in New York.... GIRLS CLOTHES!!

Those of you that know me and/or have been fallowing my blog, know that Lanvin is one of my all time favorite designers. So when I heard that Alber Elbaz was adding kids clothes to the Lanvin family, I was super excited. It makes me kind of want to have a baby girl, ha! I hope Lanvin comes out with boys clothes as well. It's so hard to find super cute boys clothes vs. girls clothes... so I hear!

But one word describes this little girls collection... ADORABLE!!

LOVE: [esty | mauve rose | scraf]

LOVE this tie-die scarf with leather embellished loop at scoutandcatalogue's Esty page. This Lovely is called 'THE LASSO mauve and rose'. The only down fall is the price tag. $118 for a cotton tie-die scarf is a little steep for my wallet.

Head over to Buffalump's Esty page to purchase this lovely item for only $40.

LOVE: [esty | vintage | pocket watch]

LOVE this vintage lace pocket watch by Esty Designer, Beadix.

LOVE: [esty | baby | headband]

Esty is definitely a great place to find talented creators/designers. Today's LOVE goes to Esty designers Little Town Boutique. I'm also in LOVE with these newborn photos.

How adorably cute are these little felt flower headbands for newborns?! They even make them for adults.

LOVE: [esty | ipad | holder]

Love these iPad and iPhone holders that look like note pads by Pad and Quill.

Head on over to their Esty page to pick one of these bad boys up and/or look to see what else they make these covers for.

LOVE: [1950s| inspired]

I love everything about this image. Love, Love, Love the 1950s inspired outfit. I adore the full skirt, head piece and the hair and make-up are a perfect finishing touch.

My least favorite about this photo is probably her shoes but I absolutely admire everything else captured in this photograph.

Absolutely Beautiful!

HOLIDAY: [happy valentine's Day]

Happy Valentine's Day!

I've been with the hubs for almost 11 years now and we've always agreed that Valentine's Day is a Hallmark Holiday and that we didn't need a specific day in order for us to celebrate our love for each other.

Most cards made for v-day are usually loving, sweet, cute and sappy. Which is all very good but definitely not made for the hubs and I. We're much more silly and goofy than sappy and sweet, that's just how we are. And if we did celebrate v-day, I've FINALLY found a card that would definitely be perfect for us made by Tiny Prints...
Love it! Happy Valentine's everyone!

LOVE: [casual | glam]

I'm in love with the concept of this outfit. It's what I'd like to call "casual glam".

I'm not usually a fan of sequin but this outfit definitely makes me want to go get a sequin skirt and perfect for you ladies who are going out for Valentine's day.

JEWELRY: [cartier | love collection]

Since the 1970's Lovers all over the world have been giving the Cartier Love Bracelet to their hearts desire. It's locked in place on the arm of the receiver by the giver to symbolize an everlasting commitment/love.

Not only is it Cartier but with what this bracelet symbolizes... what women wouldn't want their loved one (or husand.. hint hint ha) to give them one of these?! The only set back is the nice hefty price tag... $3950 which going up every year. It is Cartier after all.

ADDICTION: [starbucks | mocha frap]

I've always been a fan of Starbucks mocha frappachino but never craved it as much as I do now.

Annie & I took a much needed vaca to Waikiki Hawai'i for 6 days last week and being that Hawai'i is so hot & humid, on top of Annie being addicted to coffee, what's better than a nice, cold, refreshing Starbuck Mocha Frap... Right?! Ha. I think we got one everyday except MAYBE one or two days lol.

And since we've been back I've had one everyday except once... twice if you include today's wanna-be Mocha Frap aka Mocha Ice Blended from Coffee Bean. So not the same! Lol

What an expensive habit! Imma need to kick this obsession like its crack haha.

Wish me luck!
Xoxo

ps. I'll try and get out of vaca mode & post pics of our trip to Hawai'i soon.

DESIGN: [letterpress | engagement book]

Studio on Fire was commissioned to design an engagement book consisting of a collection of emails between a couple that were eventually letterpress printed and bound.

I think this is the cutest/sweetest idea ever!
i wish i would've thought of that.
