I have to admit a good dose of playful color always makes me smile...
I day dream of having a shelf filled with the complete collection of Penguin classic re-release books designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. How pretty would they look on a shelf? And they just released an Alice in Wonderland version, definitely the next one I am adding to my collection. These amazing Frye sneakers via design mom are so fun! How adorable is this tiny package I spotted...READ MORE

Book Art
My sweet husband bought me these vintage Alice in Wonderland + Through the Looking Glass books for the holidays last year. There is just something about old books that makes me so excited! The details on the spine, the typography, and oh those illustrations. There is nothing like it. I wish I had a huge room filled with old books like these to peruse and get inspired.
