hello, fall

And just like that, Fall is almost here! Despite the warm weather and desire to wear summer clothes until Winter, I am very very excited about Fall! I will miss the relaxed vibe that comes along with Summer. I will miss beach days (there were too few) and BBQ's and knowing that the year is still young. I am happy that Tracy has made it this far and amazed that another season has passed.  I'm excited about new beginnings and baking fall treats and the start of another holiday season! Here's to Fall! So this (past) week...
1. Am sorry to have posted so little last week, we were having internet issues:/
2. Want to go to Chicago to see this ! I've never actually seen the Marina City Apartment Towers in person but have loved them for years because I associate them with the cover of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
3. I'm not the only one revisiting and feeling inspired by the Great Gatsby! 
4. I totally missed the Missoni for Target launch:( Did any of you partake? What did you buy?! Do share!
5. For the first time in years I am not designing. I must say the break is kind of nice and the excitement of a new job is refreshing but I wish there was a great source for regular inspiration. I love so many blogs and magazines but more than ever I soooo wish Domino Magazine was still around:( What have you "replaced" Domino with? 

PS: I'm loving the new Fall colorways of Joy Cho's wallpaper ! 


Enjoy the last days of Summer! xo

Currently Loving: Seeing spots again!

I used to be a huge fan of polka dots! When I graduated and started working at my previous job they expressed a dislike to polka dots in design and as I became used to editing away the very idea of using polka dots, I kind of drank the kool-aid and stopped liking them altogether:( I've come around since then, but not like before...until now! I love seeing polka dots everywhere for Fall! I love leopard print so I'm always happy to see it everywhere too, but I'm totally surprised by how excited I am about polka dots! I am particularly in love with polka dots in black and white or off-white and navy and white or off-white. I have a few little items on my wishlist that includes this ring, this blouse, these tights, and this cardigan . Are you loving polka dots too?! What polka dot items have you bought/plan on buying for Fall? Here's a little shopping guide in case you need a little inspiration! xo
