Opinel Knife Set
I can tell you one thing for sure about these, they would never see the inside of a drawer.

DIY Dominoes
PHOTO + LINK: A Beautiful Mess
I’m kind of obsessed with this domino set project from Abbey of Aesthetic Outburst. In fact, I’m already thinking of several people I’d like to gift these to come the holidays. Including but not limited to myself.

Summer ‘Dos
It’s the day after Memorial Day and you know what that means, the unofficial start of summer is upon us. Right now my hair hangs just below my clavicle and I have blunt cut bangs. I wear it simple and straight, but since my hair has a bit of a wave to it there’s a process involved. Namely drying and straightening. And even though that only takes about fifteen minutes, it just isn’t always a time investment I want to make. You see, I get a bad case of the Lazy Hair come summer. No muss, no fuss, hopefully off of my face and neck. Instead of just pulling it back into the messy bun I’m always guilty of, I’m hoping for a little more from myself this June through September. Here are a few hairstyles I’ve bookmarked that look manageable and easy.

Monday is Memorial Day in the States, so I’ll be taking the day off to do patriotic things like (unintentionally) fry myself to a crisp and (unintentionally) burn some hamburgers on the grill. See you Tuesday, lovahs.

dior 001
Forget 007, dior 001 is where it’s at for the lady on the hunt. The “weapon” conceals an antique hairpin, lipgloss, medicine, a USB stick with ‘secret information’ and a 100 gram sterling silver bar. I know that’s all I need for a guaranteed good Saturday night. (via Design Boom)

Pino

Pino is a lifestyle shop I’d definitely walk into and explore. The cool minimalism and color organization would suck me in immediately. Their identity kills it, I love the bold palette and diecut ‘I’ to no end.

wander
The handmade leather bags and accessories from wander are feeding my love for the heritage movement. There’s just something so appealing about a simple, clean product that is well made and durable. I’m definitely feeling that laptop case up top. (via A Merry Mishap)

The Sidebar
I love my refurbished bar cabinet and wouldn’t trade it for anything, but I’m really drawn to The Sidebar. It would be so handsome in my entryway where I could introduce it to my guests and ask if they’d like a Sidecar from my Sidebar. (Sorry for that one. But not really.) (via Apartment Therapy)
PS: Check out the equally gorgeous glasses…
