Happy Weekend

Hello everyone, what are you doing this weekend? I'm taking my daughter to a carnival with one of her friends. And I'm hoping to try out a few new (vegetarian!) recipes. Have a lovely one! -- Tina

I had the greatest time this week with you, the very lovely readers of English Muse!

Hope to see you soon here or there!

Wish you the happiest weekend!

Man Shops Globe!

This show looks amazing! Could you imagine having a job like this: traveling the world looking for cool things for Anthropologie stores? Where would you go first? I think I would go to India!

(Thank you My Dog-Eared Pages and Ciao, Chessa! for the tip!)

What pattern are you?!

I mean it. I think every person's personality looks like a kind of pattern. I always feel I am a "plaid" ! or maybe a "floral" one.  I am a pattern lover indeed. I think the patterns you choose for clothing can easily express how you are feeling at the moment.

So you tell me my lovelies!

How do you feel right now? Isn't it striped? Or maybe polka dots?! Or...?!

:)

Have a nice day!

So clever. I wonder what's in the second box...

Nurit Koniak

Hello dear ones!
This is Shokoofeh, here I am again!

Okay. We all love lovely images, and we all enjoy a pretty magazine or a photography book while we are drinking some hot coffee with delicious cookies, right?

So enjoy these wonderful photographs of {Nurit Koniak}:

See you soon!

Tousled

Hello everyone. How was your Sunday? We're back from San Diego. The beach was so warm and lovely. (I want to move there and learn how to surf. Hah!) Returning home I found the new Anthropologie catalogue in the mailbox. I try to refrain from doing too many Anthropologie posts because I could write about that store every week. (And I don't want to scare off what few male readers I have.) But here it is: I love this girl's hair....

It's the perfect tousled up-do...Since I usually look like I just rolled out of bed, I'm always seeking ways to add a glimmer of sophistication to my natural rumpledness...The headband is beyond...

...pretty...

I hope your Monday goes well. I'm very excited to announce that our beloved Shokoofeh will be guest blogging here this week from her home city of Tehran! Also, be sure to check out her beautiful blog, A New Simple Something.

Mission Beach, via iPhone?

We decided to take a little day trip to San Diego...


But because I'm the most disorganized person on the planet, I forgot my camera...



So here are the photos taken on my new iPhone...



Well...



I know it's not Polaroid...



And of course nothing can compare to Polaroid...but...I'm just going to say it: I'm in love with my iPhone. Loooooveee! (Full set here).

Flea Market & Picnic in the Forest

These photos are from the awesome lifestyle photographer Roland Bello:

For me, this is the ultimate weekend fantasy...

A charming flea market in a little mountain town...

With a delicious lunch of garden veggies and berrys...

And amazing deals on books, and jewelry and colorful vintage gadgets.

Bliss.

I hope your weekend is blissful!
