{friday finds: fernanimals}

These are so freakin’ adorable, I might just explode from cuteness. Every fernanimal is lovingly handmade by Ashley Anna Brown and stuff with organic cotton or a corn-based {eco-friendly} filler. They can also be put on a ribbon, per request, to be hung as an ornament.

{everything where the wild things are}

How stuck in your head is this song? The entire soundtrack is by Karen O, so get ready to want it as bad as you wanted the Jack Johnson Curious George soundtrack. Lucky for you, I’ve made it very simple to get your Where the Wild Things Are fix in this post. I’m considering having a little party and dressing up to go see it. Who wants to wear a Max crown with me?!

So, you can pre-order Where the Wild Things Are Soundtrack or shop my entire “Where The Wild Things Are” Store. If you are too impatient to wait until September 29th for the entire album to drop, you can get the All Is Love (From “Where the Wild Things Are”) song now.

{everyday beautiful life: seven-eight}

Possibly one of the prettiest blogs around. Seven-Eight is a past {i heart} pick and run by Mimi who runs Mika78 stationary shop. Mimi has any eye for all that is pretty and inspiring. As our guest, she shares 5 things to make her and our lives everyday beautiful. {I love 4 & 5.}

1. {Old photos and letters from friends & family}

I’m preparing to move right now, so in the middle of all my crazy packing, I came across old photos, letters and cards I received throughout the years from friends and family. It was so nice to look back at my life through these mementos… it made me realize the importance of living a FULL life.

2. {Being inspired / the creative mind}

When I see creativity at its finest (design, packaging, photography, fashion, art, a movie, music, you name it), something inside of me just melts. There’s nothing quite like being inspired… it makes me deliriously happy!

3. {High heels}

Enough said. 😉

4. {A smile}

Sometimes when I walk down the street, someone will smile at me. Not in a weird “I’m about to kidnap you and sell your organs on the black market” kind of way, but a genuine, friendly smile. Strangely enough, it lifts my spirits. I don’t know why, but I guess it’s just that human connection. Now, whenever I see someone who looks down or sad, I try to smile at them (hoping they don’t think I’m about to kidnap them).

5. {Remembering to be better}

I love this quote. It’s so easy to get caught up in our own lives, huh? I’m definitely a victim of this, and I’ve found that the more I focus on myself, the unhappier I become. It’s so true that when you live for others, life has meaning far beyond what you could ever realize on your own. I think there’s so much hope and beauty in that.

The hair and the red lipstick, sexy structures like a bustier paired with a delicate and sweet sweater… it’s all perfection.

This is the most intricately beautiful and glamorous swimsuit cover-up in history.

The color, the silhouette, the delicate chains on the shoulder makes this a fashion week favorite.

Buttoned up, but not a bit stuffy, the haphazard pleating in the skirt hides any imperfections… a little Victorian and modern 40’s glam.

Have you ever seen a crop-top look more lady-like?  Paired with a  high-waisted pencil skirt of pearlescent white and little chains connecting, it’s perfectly precious.

Bravo.

Such a simple act. I encourage you to try this. Grab a post-it note and a sharpie, writing something you’d love to hear, and then stick it somewhere random. Feel free to hide around the corner and watch as people discover your random act of beauty. Don’t forget to take a picture and send it to 315thomas@gmail.com.

{childhood whims}

Remember when you used to get in the clothes racks while your mom shopped? Or when you’d roll around in the warm fresh laundry that smelled like fabric softener?
