Wow, it’s been just about forever since I shared some music. The site I was using changed up their format and I wasn’t a fan, but now I’m using Grooveshark and life is peachy again. (I don’t think I’ve ever said so before, but I’m super interested in what you’re listening to as well. So please, share away in the comments section!) Click away on either image to listen.

The summer after high school graduation I started wearing shades that were way too big for my face, and I’ve never looked back. I started with an oval pair that had tortoise shell frames (very Jackie O.), and made my way through until I landed on my favorite a few years ago. A pair of sunglasses that were black framed, almost square, and cost $5. They broke last December as I walked into an Office Depot to buy a cordless mouse for my aunt. Memories are funny, replacing sunglasses is not. Now that the temps are on the up and up – at least here – I need to find a new pair.

Artist Jen Stark does things with paper that I can only dream about. My favorite is the last piece pictured above. If the word simplicity can be attached to any piece of her work this particular one captures it perfectly.

Ceramic watches, I love your modern/minimalist feel. Fossil has a sizable line for men and women in both white and black.

It’s safe to say that I’ve followed Sarah Fox’s shop, cursive design, for some time now because I honestly can’t recall when her work first popped up on my radar. The spring/sumer 2011 lookbook was just released and I’m loving it all, Sarah has such talent when it comes to juxtaposing materials and colors. (I also like her blog lots.)

I think this is the spring where I face my fear of making bread. I don’t know what it is that makes me shy away. Maybe it’s the yeast. Or the waiting game for it to rise. But Hot Cross Buns are near the top of my foodgasm list and this recipe looks more or less conquerable. No fear.

Pebble-shaped wall vases from Wendy Jung look and feel like an organic utopia. They’re water-tight, so you can use them to hold fresh or dried flowers. Or whatever.
