unruly things

lighted paper pennant garland

I la la love this DIY tutorial from Anna Bond, aka Rifle.

hooray!!!

this may only be exciting to me but… the day I’ve been waiting for has finally come!  Levi’s finally {and by finally I mean I’ve been haunting their site for at least a year!} carries a deep black denim in those oh so perfect straight leg jeans.  AND they are made with organic cotton!  hip hip hooray!

floret

I love love LOVE this floret stacking ring from Blanca Monrós Gómez.  isn’t it the prettiest pinky ring?

for me, for you jewelry

I love Kate’s twist on the familiar friendship bracelet we all know so well.  I took too long deciding which of these two I wanted and they sold out super fast!  there are a few left in her shop and lucky for us slow clickers, she’s happy to recreate something that’s been sold out, yay!

safari summer

I’m totally loving the safari girl look for summer.  cool natural fabrics, soft neutral colors… never have I ever wanted a jean jacket more than I do right now.

speaking of sarafi… I’m sure it may be old news to some, but I came upon this incredibly moving video last night of a story about a lion named Christian, and cried my eyes out of truly utter amazement.  seriously… go watch it.  now.

little berries + forest bound winner

hi friends, how was your weekend?  mine was fantastic.  dlb and I went berry picking on Saturday and came home with the best of the crop.  cherry picking was quite an experience.  since most of the cherries were at the top of the trees, we did a little gymnastics act of me balancing on his shoulders so that I could reach the darkest, sweetest cherries.  we filled up an entire palette of raspberries and hunted under leaves to find the last of the strawberries, oh so sweet and tiny!  sunburned, bee stung, and tired, we came home with over 10 lbs of fruit and satisfied bellies.  dlb took these photos, aren’t they great?!

thanks so much for the response to the Forest Bound giveaway.  I’m so excited to have Alice on board as a sponsor and I’m glad I could share the goodness with you!  and as not to delay, the winner!!  chosen by a random number generator, the winner is:

Bridget! who said, “I would use it for my headphones! they always get so tangled in my purse..”

thanks to everyone who entered!
