Oh, I loved that photo set. I'm waiting on some friends to get back into the country, and then we're going to have a Mad Men party with costumes. [And booze. Obvs.]

Just found your blog, btw, and I love it. Always nice to meet new people. :-D

i threw out my telly a few years ago so i haven't watched mad men at all - this probably makes me mad as well - but one of my friends have got a dvd collection that i'm going to borrow come autumn. these pictures are definitely stylish!
thanks for your very nice comment, hope you'll revisit!

Another item you can use if you don't want to leave a big damaging mark on your wall, are Hercules Hooks.
We have them every where, and they leave about a pin size hole afterward, and can hold a lot of weight!
London drugs sell them.

I'm not familiar with him either but I love the blue shirt! The wallet seems a little boring to me?

Love the last two photos...the pale pink/white/grey is very beautiful and romantic. I just don't think I'd want my wedding to be based solely around IKEA products!!

I'm not familiar with his work, but I would have to agree that none of these pieces really blow me away. I do like the scarf though!

Humm this lemonade looks good. I've never tried one like that!

Have you heard of a site called Lookville? I think you'd really enjoy it if youre not there already. I'll see if I can send you the invite through your email.. if it's on here. It's a fashion site where ppl post pictures of looks and others comment if they like, dislike, whats needed, etc. It's really neat.

Ah I love Day Zero my friend told me about it recently and I think it's such a neat idea. I love to-do lists in the first place and this is a really great way to just do things you always say you will.

adorable dress!

You just named every colour I thought of when I wrote other colours! The brown leather belt would be awesome for fall :]

2010-07-20T15:27:43.462-07:00

Of course I am! You name it, I will do my utmost to make it happen. I envision the turquoise sash being replaceable with other colours too: bright yellow for sure, but also cherry red, bright green and even a fat brown leather belt.

Ooooh, love those shots <3

2010-07-20T13:07:54.718-07:00

I'm a huge fan of that back-bow style, and I love the fact that you made the sash detachable. That leaves the option for other colours, like a bright yellow <3! I have a proposal for you! I can buy you a serger (or at least help you get one) in exchange for some kind of custom article of clothing? Note: I might challenge you with strange ideas (like odd materials, ruffles or rouching?) You up for it?

2010-07-15T16:11:03.020-07:00

Unfortunately, the bag is already gone. :(

I'm not sure what happens if you don't finish a certain goal. I suppose it's just the feeling of personal failure? Sounds delightful...

2010-07-15T14:28:11.276-07:00

It's like a bucket list, only a shorter finish date :] Love this idea, might even start one for myself. What will you do if there's any goals don't finish?

By the way, if you still have your donations bag, I can take it off your hands :D

2010-07-14T18:00:50.173-07:00

love your list Shannon!! There are a lot of things I've done myself especially in your "fun" list, but at the same time and planning to do several more times in my life ... sun run, grouse grind just to name two... so if you wanna a buddy :) Tom and I will be doing the Sun Run yearly, so come with us next year and we were actually thinking of doing the grind next Friday morning and you're more than welcome to join in! <3 ash

Just saw the trailer for 'Inception' and noticed that the cafe Leo DiCaprio sits at is the fifth one down, L'Enclos du Temps. Neat.

I know, I saw your blog for today and was like, hey I wrote that comment she's talking about - I wish you had bought it too and I would have secretly ran away with it :P -ashley

2010-07-13T20:00:14.771-07:00

Huh. I was visiting a friend in San Francisco yesterday, and one of the first things I noticed is that she had a framed print of this on her living room wall. It looked flea market-y, but I'll ask her where she got it.

Awesome, that's it! I shall keep scouting for you ...

2010-07-13T18:07:10.681-07:00

Awesome, that's it! I shall keep scouting for you :] If I can never find it, now that you know what she's called, you can get a print!

2010-07-13T17:18:39.118-07:00

Mais, oui! Je me rappelle le quatrieme photo! I've eaten at the bistro in the 4th picture many a time... It's at a very busy intersection in the 11th, at la place de la bastille. They serve good frites, there, if I recall correctly. Ah, la France <3
