I think I am still on color overload after the bleak white winter. Thus I am in absolute love with San Fransico’s Turk + Taylor SS11 Collection. The juicy plaids and color blocking seems right in season as the sun is out and the buds are blooming. See more here!
I love flipping through the online catalogues for the UK company TOAST. Their collections always look effortless and have such a beautiful eye to color. & the photography is so fresh and crisp! See more here.

I could spend hours scrolling through the blog, The Dress I Made. Here are a few grabs of her beautiful and inspiring work.
Last night I made a pit stop in Portland on my way home from work and discovered FIND a great spot for vintage shopping. I picked out way too many things but couldn’t part with the vintage LLBean flannel shirt, vintage anchor dress and the amazing vintage homemade floral sundress. I think I am going to do a little altering on the anchor dress and I will be ready to greet the summer with style. (in the meantime I will be able to cozy up in my new flannel!)
I cannot seem to get enough of them!
Pinterest has not helped at all with my obsession…
Jean Paul Gaultier’s room is absolutely stunning!
