Day of Links

A few things I've been enjoying...

Hilarious Google reviews of Bin Laden's compound

Beautiful typography on old fire insurance maps

Intricate and whimsical vintage clothing for tots

And finally, not a link, but even better:

Hazel. My favorite niece. I'm dying to buy her some of those vintage outfits!

Isn't this the most beautiful toothpaste you've ever seen?

I just love this packaging! Marvis has a lot of unique flavors and I hear they're all delicious.

Gorgeous! I've seen it priced at up to 10 bucks a pop, so it's not cheap by any means, but it's great for a splurge or part of a gift.

And the Winner Is...

Option 2!

They were both gorgeous schemes, but I like the idea of having a soothing, deep bluish hued bedroom. Thanks for sharing your thoughts people! Now for the small task of finding (and affording) everything a good bedroom needs. I've got a long way to go--I don't even have a bedskirt! What's the deal with bedskirts anyway? Do people still use them? And we're still using those rolling Tupperware drawers as nightstands. Sexy.

Anyway, if you see anything--nightstands, lamps, pillows, etc--online that would coordinate with that scheme, por favor let me know. (And don't act like you don't google housewares and bed linens!) Although, maybe I'll regret such a dark palette in the spring. There's also a chance I'm over-thinking this.

Off to Betsy's wedding tomorrow. {Trilling voice} So exciting! I can't wait to see her in all her wedding glory with that pixie cropped hair. More next week! Chau.

Colorboards

To the complainers: I will not apologize for being blog-absent. I was traveling for work for about a week, then it was catching up, then it was laziness.

I've been thinking about how I want to decorate our bedroom lately, and here is what I've whittled it down to. Both color palettes are Danny-approved (he has to sleep there too, so no frou-frou stuff), I want to know what you guys think. Feel free to comment your thoughts!

Option 1

Option 2

I nicked these from a wedding website, so please disregard the invites and what have you in the images.

Totally Awesome

Love these shoes. The heel is about 6-7 inches and the price is outrageous so I don't think I'll be getting them. Plus, I don't think Idaho could handle these babies. But thank you Dsquared for using your imagination. Nice that they come in both bootie...

...and sandal form--you can wear them all year round! 

I love bandage heels. Apparently people who tried these shoes on said they were comfortable! I can't wait to see pics of people wearing this shoe so I can live vicariously through them. However, I think cleaning the heel--especially in winter--would be worrisome. I'd spend the whole day trying to avoid puddles, snow, mud, etc.

Verdict: Worth it.
