Wouldn't these pencils be nice? With sayings like "You're pretty" and "Your talent is amazing" I think they'd be the exact pick me up you need on any "not so awesome" day.

I took a look at my closet and realized I wear a lot of black (pretty easy to tell since I color coordinate my closet and all.) But then I looked at my jewelry and noticed it's pretty much all gold. Modern, vintage, girly, structural- doesn't matter- it's gold. All that taken into account, I'm convinced I need this bracelet.
Of course, as I've mentioned I have tiny wrists so this would actually be way too big, but I'm going to disregard that fact right now.
I Wanna Be Sedated via Sensibly Selfish
Probably just under a year ago, my friend Kristin talked with me about started a jewelry line. For as long as I've known her she has always had a special gift when it came to jewelry making and design so it only seemed fitting that she turn that passion into a career. Fast forward to a few days ago to when she announced the launch of her company- Sensibly Selfish. The line is fabulous- and exactly what I would expect from her. You see, Kristin has a graceful kindness about her that is paired perfectly along side an innate sense of style and rock star edge- and that translates fully into each one of her pieces. My favorite earrings are above, but every piece is so unique and beautiful it's hard to pick just one. Of course, with prices like hers, you don't really have to choose.
(Congrats on your line, Kristin! I'm so excited for you!)
Joulies found on lady and the blog
Pronounced "jollies." these little stainless steel "beans" are designed to cool your coffee/tea/hot chocolate to the perfect temperature and then keep it there for up to 5 hours. I've started drinking chamomile and peppermint tea (separately. not sure those would work well together) and I have to admit that there is really nothing more annoying than spending 15 minutes waiting for it to cool off enough so you don't burn yourself and then being left with cold gross tea 5 minutes after that first "perfect sip." So, when I saw these little shining babies I immediately knew they would make a very nice addition to our tea/coffee routines.

well these are just awesome. (I especially like the grumpy man one. Wouldn't that be hilarious on a raincoat?)

I think I've made it pretty obvious that I love a good ampersand so it should come as no surprise that I feel hard for these.
Harry Allen vase found on Design Crush
This is one of the coolest vases ever. I just want to fill it with lush white flowers. Ohhh or deep crimson ones. Or my pens and pencils.
Heck, I'd be okay with this just sitting empty on my desk.

I've always loved Professor Honeydew & Beaker so these are definitely up my alley. Aren't they wonderful?
Kathryn Bentley arrowhead studs via Beklina
I'm a big earring type of gal, but sometimes you just need a pair of studs- like when you are wearing an awesome necklace that would compete with said big earrings. And on days like that? These studs by Kathryn Bentley would be perfect. Even more perfect if you are like myself- i.e. not a big fan of diamond or pearl studs.*
*On that note, I also can not pull off a cardigan. One of my best friends can rock all kinds of cardigans- from preppy to eclectic- and always look laid back and cool. Me on the other hand, I look like I'm either dressing as a First Lady or just one apple button cover away from being a kindergarten teacher.

Aren't these envelopes so cute? (They are made from a copy of Madeline's Christmas!) I'd love to create invitations for a kids birthday and use envelopes like these.
Lengthening Rays Skirt via Anthropologie
There's just something about a long draping skirt paired with a T Shirt or a tank that makes me feel dressed up and relaxed all at the same time. And this one- seen on Erika Powell in Better Homes and Gardens (congrats Erika!)- is stunning.
