say whuuuut?

Stella McCartney just put out a line of kids clothes through the Gap?? Seriously? That's pretty dope, actually. I've been really loving the stuff she'd done with Adidas so I wasn't the least bit surprised to see that I thought this stuff was super cute, too (though I kind of wish she had gone further outside the "Gap" box. I feel like a lot of this could have found it's way there regardless of her involvement.) Personally, I'm feeling partial to this pretty purple frock, though I couldn't justify the price tag, considering it's for a FOUR year old. But hey, if you've got the coin, knock yourself out. Who would YOU like to see whipping up a kit for your kid? And as a side note: Man would I ever have loved to have seen that little dress this summer when I was looking for flower girl dresses. It would've matched my sis' moh dress PERFECTLY!

to me, it's all just black and white.

If I had nothing but black, white and silver... honestly I don't even need patterns, really, just some interesting texture, I'd be happy. I literally have to force myself to branch out into colour. Oh, I'm not saying I don't love me some bright coloured accents (flowers are my friend!), I'm just a neutral kind of gal. Now, that's also not to say that I like things bland. Not at all! I like my neutrals STRONG! Rich chocolates, and velvety greys, slick piano-key black, stark white, and creamy caramels, all bouncing off one another, making each other seem, brighter, darker, deeper, richer... So needless to say, when I saw this room, from Dublin's The Beacon Hotel, I just about swooned... can't you just imagine a bouquet of deep pink peonies on the bedside? And it certainly doesn't hurt that it has my all-time favorite combo of traditional + midcentury furnishings in modern finishes. I love it. I want it. Image from here.

Ok, tell me this isn't the coolest toy/packaging ever. Beats the piss right out of Polly Pocket, don't it? Images from here.
