Let's Run Off and Join the Circus!

I'm not one to post things about weddings, but this one was too amazing for me to not share! And I'm not sure if it's the abundance of yellow (which by the way is fast becoming my favorite color for weddings - of course that's probably just my biased opinion because yellow is already my favorite color) but there's an energy and happiness that is often dulled down for other weddings which almost makes them more somber and depressing than uplifting and exciting like (I believe) a wedding should be!

PS! - Tiny rabbits as cake toppers! Freaking sweet.

Old Shoe, New Twist

I remember being about five years old and asking my mom obsessively about getting jelly shoes... of all different colors. Of course, I probably only ever acquired two pairs (the second only after I outgrew the first). So jellies are making a small comeback, but this style that I found today seems to take the cake on re-inventing it.

Laces? For serious? Awesomesauce.

Ryuichi Ogino & Tadahiro Uesugi

Over at Gallery Nucleus, there are a lot of amazing artists. I was looking at one of my favorite artists, Tadahiro Uesugi (he did character design for the gorgeous film, Coraline) and I somehow also ran across another talented Japanese artist, Ryuichi Ogino, whose fashion illustrations are mesmirizing.

Sufjan Stevens on a Windy Rooftop

If you haven't heard Sufjan before, well, now's a great time to listen. One of the few boys who doesn't seem to mind singing a little too high and a lot heartfelt, and who is completely unafraid of being different.

I Love the Planet

Growing up, my dad had two globes in our house; one was a globe of the earth with terrain elevations of mountains and plains, and the other was a globe of constellations. I would sit with them for ages just studying everything on them. Now I have a hankering for a globe and this one that I found on Etsy may just be the winner (once I get paid again of course!). Are there any nostalgic things from your childhood that you would want to get?

Boys' Tuesday

Everyone knows it's easier to buy all the things you want online from the same place so you can get them all at the same time. Urban Outfitters always seems to have a plethora of awesomeness (and also a plethora of totally unwearable crap as well). So I dug out some of the awesomeness into an outfit that I would suggest to any boy who has a heart for the early 19th century and good looking shoes.

Buying shoes never felt so good.

I love products that are created around charitable ideas.

Jojo's are a new shoe project that donates a year supply of water or plants a tree in Africa when you buy a pair of super cool shoes.

I don't know about you, but I'm hearting the gray ones.
