Jackson, Johnston & Roe.

My friend Noa sent me the link to her friend's clothing line - Jackson, Johnston & Roe. I love the sophisticated cut and the 40s summer camp (for grown ups) feel of their Spring 2009 collection. I think I would feel like Katharine Hepburn on holiday in these outfits.

I also love the story behind the design trio:

"Childhood friends Sara Moffat, Teo Griscom, and Riley Salyards assumed their mothers' maiden names for their womenswear design endeavor -- jackson, johnston & roe. Drawing on interdisciplinary strength (art, theatre and painting), the design trio combines their aesthetic visions to create clothing that is timeless and of the time."

For even more info on this amazing collection check out Pia Jane Bijkerk's post.

Angsty Alice

This is the same haircut I had in 1995. I did not look as hot as Alice Dellal (below).

Sessùn Summer 09 Lookbook

I love the Summer 09 collection from Sessùn. This dress is exactly what I want for a reception dress.

Today I asked one of my lovelies if her new iPhone had an app to bring her closer to me. I miss my lovely. I miss making coffee for her lazy ass. And sitting in her Astoria apartment for hours and hours drinking said coffee and smoking cigarettes (ah, youth). Sure, there was a whole city to explore but who needs that when you've got lovelies?

Have a happy weekend...full of friends and caffeine.

• Obama never looked yummier
• Beaches and Bears, oh my
• Paper porn is the best
• Coffee Nook(ie)
• Pretty tins
• Hot legs

Tattoos of Tears

This picture by Ellie Cryer made me very happy today. It reminds me of the tattoo I want to get. In fact I might get this little anchor and banner while I'm at it! Here are some more of her fun illustrations.

Cakies Scrap Necklaces

I love Cakies new/recycled scrap necklaces. And she's a sweetie for adding on a tutorial!

Custom Portraits by Ashley G

I love Ashley G. First we got A Look Only You Would Understand from my sister. Then I thought they needed a friend so we got The Couple. Her portraits already resemble us a bit but now we could have a real Ashley G portait of us. This is very exciting news.

Little Thing Magazine

Little Thing Magazine is delicious looking. I don't even care that I can't read a word of it.

Poketo Wallets

Are you f*ing kidding me? Some of my favorite artists shared their work with Poketo to make these amazing wallets. Why did I have to see this during my spending freeze? And no where near my birthday!

Andre Petterson

If I could only choose one subject matter for the art I hang on my walls it would have to be paintings and photographs of horses. I have always had a weird fascination and obsession with them. When I was younger I believed that I had a special connection with all horses (ok, secretly, deep down I still do). So, naturally, I am in love with this piece by Andre Petterson. Even though I become overwhelmed with sadness just looking at it because it reminds me of Artax.

For Panda

It was nice to see you yesterday. This is for you.

Because everyone needs a Christopher Walken break.

This is Sophia Costas' collection from last summer but I think it still holds up this Spring. And I love the model's make-up.

Spring Cleaning

I'm doing a little Spring cleaning...to my google reader. There might not be a lot of sense to this week's and next week's posts but I really have to do something about the clutter that has accumulated in there.

Shop Once, Eat for Three or Four Days

I finally had enough grocery $$ this weekend to go to the Hillcrest Farmer's Market. I was inspired by the article Shop Once, Eat for a Week in this month's (and the last) Domino. I'm not sure when a week became Sunday through Thursday but that's OK. I'm only able to eat a decent meal 3 or 4 times this week anyway.

Last night we had the spring-vegetable soup with English Cheddar cheese from Trader Joe's and a yummy stout. It was in.cred.i.ble. I was deliriously satisfied. I can't wait for the flatbread and salad tonight.

My favorite lovely has FINALLY opened up her shop. I am beyond excited. Her knits look delicious...seriously that skinny scarf makes me miss Dunkin' Donuts something fierce.

Right now I want to be

or here.

But definitely not where I am.
