Preferably they’re also light or bright, we’ve had enough overcast colors by this time of year. They need to be easily slung over a tan shoulder, and just as easily tossed into the sand or grass. Some are fabric, some leather, some straw, but one thing is for certain – by summer’s end they’re all well-loved and worn out.

Ombre 2.0 is sweeping the fashion world lately, and after a few months of having my eyes saturated with heads of blonde ombre hair I started noticing the technique everywhere. Not just in the fashion world. You know, like when you get a new car and start seeing the same make and model everywhere? Exactly like that.

There are no words for the joy and euphoria these postcards bring into my graphic designing heart. I want to throw them up in the air, then roll around in them on the ground, then make a collage. (via Allison Smith’s pin)

These silicone gemstone necklaces from Ed Thongprasert are something else, traditional gem shapes in a highly unexpected material. I love that they could be worn with a white tee or something more dressy, either way a guaranteed conversation piece. Available through Olive Shoppe. (via HonestyWTF)
Posted In jewelry, wear itI didn’t discover pesto until my mid-20s, late in life by my estimate. But once I did, whoa, there was no going back. (The same goes for chutney, but that’s another story for another time.) It’s amazing how something so simple could be full of so much flavor, and versatile as all get out. Pesto is one of those things that turns everything it touches to gold. Don’t believe me?

I had a mini epiphany the other day when I realized several unidentified pieces I’d been in love with were all by the same visual artist. Meet Heath Killen. He’s really well versed in different styles, but there’s definitely a distinct vibe of “Heath” in each piece. I spent a good fifteen minutes pouring through his portfolio and can’t wait to see what comes next.

These coasters look a bit like a cross between agate and a science experiment, don’t you think? (via Capree Kimball’s pin)
Posted In accessories, house and homeBetween my loves of cooking and paper goods, you’d think I’d have a more organized game plan in the kitchen. Nope. Don’t get me wrong, everything is neatly put in its place. It’s just that once it’s there I’m not always sure what to do with it. If I don’t have a few recipes picked out and a list made when I go to the grocery store I end up coming home with apples and bread and that’s about it. I’ve found that most people are like me and need a little help, and these pieces fit the bill perfectly.
