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...

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!

Hearted...

Silhouettes...

Polaroids...

Bruno Munari...

Brilliant minds...

Beautiful survivors...

Humor...

Wit.
What about you?

Marie Claire Maison

White walls and color...

Love!

Sofia Coppola & Louis Vuitton

I was going through some of my old files and found these photos of Sofia Coppola's 2008 ad campaign for the bags and shoes she designed for
Louis Vuitton.

The bags seemed typical LV to me. But the ads were fantastic, so Sofia.

Especially love the Polaroids. (Ok, love the red shoes too...)

What if Sofia did a personal style book with nothing but Polaroids? Could you imagine it? She could take photos of her closet, and her office and all her interesting friends....
I shouldn't be thinking about these things at midnight because it just wakes me up and now it will be 3 a.m. before I get to bed.

O well. Happy Tuesday everyone!

One more!

Pink sunglasses and iPhone.

The Temperley Zoetrope

This amazing zoetrope, created to showcase Temperley London's Spring 2010 collection, is like a giant windup music box. It's enchanting, with animated film loops and vintage stills. All set to jazz.

Have a look. What do you think?

Happy Weekend!

Hope you have a lovely one! What do you have planned? I really want to go to the beach -- where it's cool -- with my Polaroid camera.

Moonlight

moon and mountains, originally uploaded by mountaintails.

Hello everyone. It's been such a long day with work. I'm heading to bed a bit early. But I first wanted to share with you this photo of the waxing moon, by Mountaintails on flickr. It's starting to set in the west in Los Angeles...

I also wanted to tell you that Becka delivered the baby! (Sounded like it was an all-night affair!)

Have a lovely evening. See you tomorrow. xo Tina
