Babble

Two of my favorite bloggers, Chelsea Fuss and Jordan Ferney, also write for a website called Babble. They find the coolest things that moms-in-the-know would want to know about.

Like these pretty puzzles.

Or this amazing collection of tops.

These baby rattles--adorable!

Or these sweet hangers.

Once Patrick and I start having kids, I'm going to be so addicted to this website!

Butter! Better!

How clever is this packaging? Such a great concept.

Janet Hill Studio

These prints by Janet Hill Studio are so pretty and feminine--perfect for a woman's home office or a walk-in closet. I fell in love when I saw them!

Prints: 1, 2, 3.

Found: Cute Calendars for 2011

We are a couple months from 2011, where does time go? Here are some cute calendars that different paperies have put out. I can't decide which is my favorite, although I really love Heather Lins' typographic one (in the third photo). Which is your favorite?

Quail Bridal

If I had a do-over on the bridesmaid dresses I chose for my wedding? These would get my pick.

All Cleaned Up

I apologize for the missing post the last couple days...it has turned out to be a busy week after all! My husband and I are moving into a carriage house in the middle of December, and I have been busy with my mom and sister cleaning it up and getting it up to standard for us to move in. Maybe it would make the cleaning a little bit more fun if we were all wearing these gloves!

So what are you doing this weekend?? Hope it's a good one for you! Enjoy the crisp fall air!

How to Warm Up

This photo is so ethereal, and I just love the sparkle in these wrist warmers from Toast. Which are actually very practical for me since my arms are longer than average, and often times my long sleeves aren't as long as they are supposed to be!

Have a happy (not-snowy-like-this-photo) weekend!!

Enjoy Cupcakes

These colors might seem a little out of season, but I just couldn't help sharing them with you! How cool is Enjoy Cupcakes' vintage trailer -- these photos were taken of it parked at a local farmer's market (in the first shot) and at a product launch party (in the second shot). I'm sure we would all love to have a cupcake trailer at our next party, right? My mouth is watering for a bite of cupcake!

Sarah + Abraham

These are about the cutest things I've ever seen. My nieces + nephew need these ASAP.

Window Shopping

These gorgeous window displays are the work of the Anthropologie team for this fall. Are they not amazing? The fiery vibrance of the colors is perfection.

Paperwink

Happy, happy Monday to you! I found these lovely (and very reasonably priced) rubber return address stamps last week from Paperwink + wanted to share them with you. I think it would be the perfect gift to send my friend who moved to the DC area a few months ago. What do you think?

Whole Living

While I was waiting for a client at one of the studios where I teach pilates, I started browsing through a magazine called Whole Living. Which I then discovered was a Martha Stewart publication. And no wonder because it had so many great ideas, time-saving tips, recipes, fitness tips, you name it!

Here are just four stories I thought were quite interesting, but you can really get lost in that website without even trying!

1. Energize your heart
2. DIY Weekend Spa Treatments
3. Thoughts on Success
4. How to be Stop Being Perfect

Happy Thursday!

Fall Season Has Arrived

I have always been a summer girl -- I love the warmth of the sun, laying by pools, and wearing shorts + t-shirts. But my husband's favorite season is fall (let's face it) mostly because it's football season. So with his excitement over the cooler temperatures + afternoons in front of the television, I have also grown to share his fondness for this time of year because it means pulling out the corduroys + sweaters and cozy-ing up at night with some hot chocolate or a hot mug of coffee with a good book.

Aprons from Anthropologie

I'll be honest -- I don't do very much cooking, but these Anthropologie aprons make me want to play housewife + cook up a storm!

[Aprons: Top 1, 2; Bottom 1, 2]

Kate Spade: Fall Looks

Kate Spade's self-described utility, wit, + playful sophistication make me so happy -- seriously, how can you not smile when looking through the fall looks?

Fall: Paper Source Placecards

Well if these tiny animals as placecards aren't the cutest things, I don't know what is. And if they don't get you excited about fall, I don't know what will!

Have a great Thursday today!

Spooning Up Style

These fine-bone china spoons from the MoMA shop are adorable! The ends are dipped into glazes of all kinds of colors.

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday + Happy Labor Day:)

Well after this past weekend's festivites of showering my sister with gifts for her new baby girl at a tea party shower, I found this ADORABLE confetti teapot from Pier 1. We used more traditional looking teapots at our shower, but I just love this one.

Make it a great week ahead!
