white's books

How many copies of one book is too many? Jacob and I have an obsession with collecting books, especially old or very pretty ones. I think I have three or four copies of Pride & Prejudice at the moment, but then I saw these and I though "NEED." I haven't been shy about my love of the Penguin Classics series that we've collected {btw we just found these too!} but I think I've found a new series to collect as well. Look at those editions of Emma and Jane Eyre, totally swoon- worthy.

Check out these business cards from Mark Saunders and letterpressed by Beast Pieces. Aren't they amazing? Totally swoon worthy.

fashion week invites

What I wouldn't do to be invited to Fashion Week shows in NYC, especially if it meant getting these amazing invitations. Nothing is better than receive invitations or paper products in the mail that are so beautiful you can't bring yourself to throw them away. It can be kind of bad, if you're anything like me and you let it all pile up over the years, forgetting that it's only paper. The wonderful thing about these is that you can actually use them, well some of them, long after the actual show. Well, maybe not the one with the macarons, those would be eaten in about an hour.

flickr finds {guo}

I was blown away when I stumbled across this photostream on flickr. So dreamy and poetic.

oh that martha! {halloween pumpkins}

Oh how I wish I could be as crafty as Martha {and her team that most likely does this stuff for her}. I mean look at these pumpkins from the October issue of Martha Stewart Living. Gorgeous. I can barely cut a scary face in my pumpkins, perhaps this year I"ll try a little harder to make pumpkins half as pretty as these.

mad men eye candy

I'm getting a few things ready for posts next week, but in the meantime I leave you with these amazing photos of Mad Men behind the scenes from Rolling Stone. ::sigh:: I LOVE MAD MEN. I really do, and these photos are absolutely dreamy. have a great weekend!

diy wedding

speaking of day dreams, check out this AMAZING diy wedding featured on 100 layer cake. it's so dreamy and sweet, probably one of the most lovely ones i've seen in a while.

rebz {postcards from paris}

this is my lovely friend reba. she is doing what everyone wishes they could do, but for whatever reason, can't. she's living in paris, working an au pair and slowly working her way into the fashion world. her days are filled with learning french, exploring that amazing city and becoming acquainted with french culture.

i visited her a couple of months ago and we spent the week practicing gluttony. eating cheeses, macaroons (thanks laduree), crepes and croque monsieurs; oh to be back in paris! perhaps next year, ::sigh::

through her series postcards from paris reba recounts all of her adventures and lovely findings in paris. i suggest you check it out. also check out her portfolio site designed by yours truly.

mountain man

i have been absolutely obsessed with mountain man for the last couple of months. their voices are so beautiful and haunting, i can't stop listening.

debbi carlos.
