Elizabeth Hawkins-Whitshed

Elizabeth Hawkins-Whitshed was a rock star. She was a pioneer in womens' mountaineering.

"There is no manlier sport in the world than mountaineering. It is true that all the sports Englishmen take part in are manly, but mountaineering is different from others, because it is sport purely for the sake of sport." 

-Elizabeth Hawkins-Whitshed

Ikea

I know what you are thinking; Ikea... yawn! As far as sleek and modern desk accessories go, this new collection can't really be beat. Pretty sweet, huh?

Spotted here. Check it out online here.

Elevator Illusion

 

Artist Andrew Walker created this shocking illusion at a shopping center in London.

I can't imagine how I would react if the elevator doors opened to reveal this!

It looks incredibly realistic. Eeps!

Enjoy this lovely day, spend it with those you care most about.

Maybe watch a cheesy romantic movie or two.

Definitely a hair do.

Valentine's Day Inspiration

1. Heart Balloon (Because who wouldn't want to wake up to that?)

2. Damien Rice - O (A must for the most romantic holiday of the year.)

3. Dolce Vita Pumps

4. Starry Night Locket (To hold your loved ones close to your heart.)

5. Honeydew Set (Perfect combination of romance, sexiness, and timelessness.)

6. Topshop Shift Dress (A classic shape in a not too over the top holiday color.)

Alder & Co

I love these sweet new pieces from Alder & Co. 

Just in time for Valentines day, the heart dishes add a subtle touch of red to your home that could easily stay around all year long.

Burst

I am so in love with this floor. It is such a bold statement in such a simple space.

Just Beautiful. The apartment is located in Berlin and belongs to photographer Magnus Reed.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

"It's better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes and things disappear." - Holly

Colorful

I don't know about you, but today is in dire need of some color.

Enter: this boat. Spotted here.

Kimem

 

I spotted these beauties on R29 and I can't stop looking at them.

Kim Eichler-Messmer hand dyes her fabric with her own dye recipes for her Etsy shop Kimem (Get it, Kim Eichler-Messmer - Kimem.) They are great enough to use as an everyday blanket and exquisite enough to be hung on your wall as the art that they are.

Scottish Cawdor Estate

Colin, seventh Earl of Cawdor, and his wife, Isabella have transformed their estate into an incredible marriage between what is old and what is new. Their use of color perfectly complements the beautiful canvas they have to work with. Of course, I was sold by the tree house.

Kate Spade

 

Kate, oh Kate, how I love your bright colors and perfect use of pattern.

Spotted on Pinterest. 

Hearts

I am absolutely loving the sweet heart details in these pieces.

I'm especially drawn to the cutout heart in the Dansk black dress.

Building Illusion

 How rad is this installation by Buenos Aires-based artist Leandro Erlich?!

The illusion is all thanks to a huge mirror, allowing visitors to look like they are scaling a building, falling out a window, or clinging onto a ledge.

Charles Henry

I am adoring Charles Henry's spring collection. With scalloped touches, classic colors, and flowing fabric, every piece is effortlessly feminine, flirty, and timeless.

Spotted here, photos from here. 

Camouflage

Peruvian artist Ceclia Paredes camouflages herself into her beautiful botanical paintings. These images are so intricately beautiful. I especially love that she has left her hair exposed.

Open Shelves

I am longing for a well lit, white kitchen covered in open shelves.

What could be more perfect?

Spotted here.

Alphabet Bags

Oh, how I love these sweet totes by Alphabet Bags from Madewell.

 (They are conveniently fitting for Valentines Day as well as everyday use.)

Valentine

Out come the decorations.

 (Simple is always best.)

Elderly Animals

 

Isa Leshko Photography has captured some deeply intriguing and moving moments in her series, Elderly Animals. She also partnered with the filmmakers and Walley Films to discuss this incredible series. You can check out the video here.

Emma Leonard

I stumbled upon Emma Leonard's Etsy shop and fell for her beautiful illustrations.

She hails from Melbourne, Australia and her illustrations are simply wonderful.

The Bathtub

If you ask anyone that knows me well, they will tell you that I am no cleaning extraordinaire,

but I have learned the greatest cleaning trick. The key is a fabric softener sheet!

It can easily remove the horrible buildup in your bathtub.

(I refuse to use the word scum here!)

My Helium Heart

How sweet would it be to receive these sweet balloons for Valentines day, rather than chocolates and a bouquet of flowers.

Spotted here. Order here. 

MiH Jeans

I am so enamored of MiH Jeans' new campaign.

The 70's tomboy vibe is effortlessly cool.

Check out the rest of the campaign here.

Valentine

I love these sweet Valentine's day cards from Quill and Fox.

They are original, classic, timeless, and beautifully crafted.
