adore: radiant rio de janeiro

my dear sola of onyx feather just launched her latest line of fantastically modern vintage jewelry inspired by the "marvelous city" of rio de janeiro. what is better than white turquoise, vintage south american pendants, and exotic trade beads? how about that 15% of each purchase is donated to invisible children? gotta love fashion that gives back!

check out the entire line and the other wonderful cities of onyx feather here.

peruse: sharks' teeth

 

Sharks' Teeth

Kay Ryan

Everything contains some   

silence. Noise gets

its zest from the

small shark's-tooth

shaped fragments

of rest angled

in it. An hour   

of city holds maybe   

a minute of these   

remnants of a time   

when silence reigned,   

compact and dangerous   

as a shark. Sometimes   

a bit of a tail   

or fin can still   

be sensed in parks.

view: happy shark week!

Shark Week on the Discovery Channel (also known as the best week in television) begins this Sunday! Since I love anything relating to these sea-faring predators, I put together a collection of some shark-inspired things to get you ready for the big week:

[ jonathan adler shark sculpture | shark dog photograph ]

[ nautical stripe dress | virginia johnson shark print scarf ]

[ freestyle shark watch | shark suit mesh bracelet ]

[ shark tooth necklace | shark bites fruit snacks ]

[ shark print bikini | jaws movie print ]

adore: shaken or stirred?

I've been wanting a 60s-era bar cart (a-la-Mad Men) for some time now and have yet to find anything that tickled my fancy. Alas, cb2 just released an adorable retro-inspired rolling cart that is just what I've been looking for. I'll be honest, I was hoping for something actually vintage, but this little guy might have to do! And here are some of my favorite accoutrements to go along with it. Whiskey Sour anyone?

savor: sweet citrus!

i want to make this cake.


and just stare at it for a while.

and let me just say that being able to withold my fork from immediately digging in to that lemon curd center would be saying a lot.

beautiful!
