unruly things

I got this cute email from Urban Outfitters this morning titled, “What’s in the bag?” I thought it was well done, but I think we did it better girls.
to see what’s in their bags, shop his and hers.

I love a man in a striped sweater. I like these by Penguin.
p.s. be ready for lots of stripe posts. I’m really into them lately.

being a gig poster designer and lover of music, I’m naturally attracted to the amazing talent of other gig poster artists. I love the work of Hero Design Studio. I especially love this one for Spoon. I like peacocks.
dlb and I have been developing our collection of gig posters. we hope to frame them soon, they are all rolled up and dying to be displayed. and as soon as we do, I’ll be sure to photograph them.
p.s. gig posters make great gifts for that hard to please music lover! browse here for a list of great artist sites.

after months of dreaming about getting new shoes, I finally got some. yay!
dlb and I decided that this year for Christmas, other than getting one big thing for each other and having it be secret until opened, we were going to give each other lots of things that we need, {ie me = shoes}. so since today is the 1st of December {wow…} we decided to give some gifts a little early!
dlb – a new rain jacket.
me – sider pelican rain boots + corso como candy

I love these adorable measuring spoons. for when I need just a pinch of cayenne pepper.

I posted about the gorgeous books from Uppercase a little while ago. I noticed a link from Poppytalk this morning and had to check them out again. I can’t help but want this paint-by-number kit in my stocking this year. with 8 vintage inspired pictures, I would be content painting for hours.

dlb wants this sweater for Christmas. I think it’d look hot on him.
I can’t help wishing it came in my size, too.

I like these bird magnets.
I’d like to put them on my fridge.
though something inside of me knows that our little black panther will knock them all off. he’ll say it’s a new hunting game.
anyway, I think they’d make a great gift.
