A Jurassic-inspired necklace
What a clever idea! I love the prehistoric charm of this Distinct Instinction Necklace from Monserat De Lucca. Inspired by T. Rex himself, this witty design would pair perfectly with a dress or tee. It also reminds everyone around you of a very important fact: even today, the dinosaurs? Oh so cool.

The weekend is here!
Happy weekend dear readers! What’s in store for you this Saturday and Sunday? I’m looking forward to lots of post-holiday R&R. The only thing on my agenda? Watching Aliens with Matt. Have you seen it? I’m not sure a scary movie makes for the most relaxing of weekend plans, but I promised him I would watch it and so…I shall. š Here, to get your weekend started right, a few fun posts from around the web:
I know the holidays are over, but how cool is this bike?
String your gardens from above.
A New Year’s Hello.
Try this claw-set ring.
Are you in the mood for spring?
I want a pair of red pants.
And this bright red 2011 calendar too!
Blossom tempura and ice cream bon bons.
A small town wedding that lights up the sky!
12 grapes at midnight? Happy New Year!

A Parisian hotel with a literary theme
After mentioning the possibility that I will be venturing to Paris come spring, I can’t help daydreaming about the variety of places I would love to stay. Par exemple, the Pavillon Des Lettres Hotel. Each room in this recently renovated hotel is named after a different writer, with quotations from their work stenciled on the walls. Even cooler, the power of print isn’t the only thing determining the decor: every room comes fully equipped with an iPad. A nice touch for the modern day traveling writer, don’t you think?

Closet re-design
Talk about closet envy! I love the crisp lines and clutter-free arrangement of this design. Channeling my ‘new year, new you’ attitude, I’ve decided it’s time for me to start (and finish) my own closet overhaul. Because how zen-like would it be to begin each morning gazing into a closet like the one above? Oh, organization. A girl can dream!
