Five Things

{Hooray flag for when we cross something off of our wedding to-do list}

I’m really looking forward to the holiday weekend since things have been particularly busy around here. Between several upcoming collaborations, my book, and wedding planning, I’ve realized just how important it is to take a break every once in a while. Though our Memorial Day weekend won’t be as packed as last year’s tour-of-Southern-California, I’ll be happy if there’s some BBQ involved and if I can squeeze in one late afternoon nap.

{Vintage gold cutlery for impromptu dinner parties}

{Vogue Girl & Ginza features – fun to read despite the language barrier}

{Wish list tags for marking up magazines/books/anything}

{Newly framed fallen comic book heroes}

The gold cutlery is lovely, certainly something I will look out for – I’ve been looking for vintage style cutlery & can’t find the perfect pieces, but I think bronze or golden might be the answer, thanks!
Love the little stickers too, although I think I would get carried away, haha! Totally addicted to post-it notes as it is (pink heart-shaped ones of course).

I adore the gold cutlery…. You are certainly having a gilded moment recently (gold Calypso pouf, gold lamp etc). I did a little story on the gold trend in one of my Rose Bowl posts – check it out if you can’t wind down for that attempted nap over the weekend! http://inherentstylela.blogspot.com/2011/04/tracking-trends-troving-for-treasures.html

Breaks are good for the soul. Remember: take a break, eat a kit-kat (or a macaroon…)!

I am on the hunt now for some vintage gold cutlery! Beutiful! Do you have any tips or suggestions for polishing?
AND the newly framed comics looks great! You did an excellent job. What a fun idea! Xox

It seems to be that time of year when work kicks into overdrive, especially for the fashion and entertainment industries. I most definitely understand you when you say that taking a break is important!
I absolutely love the framed comic book heroes and even the gold utensils. Congrats on your book, I’ll be sure to add it to my collection when it’s done

I love the framed wall art of the comic book heroes. I showed my boyfriend the wall art because he is an avid comic book junkie! Might have to take your idea for our place too!

Love the frames! Where did you get those, if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks!
