Week no. 15

Week no. 15

Here are some things that made me happy this week. Have a fabulous weekend, my dears! Hope the sun is shining in your area.

Happy moments:

Seeing and loving her outfit from Zina's style.

We busted out the Vita-Mix (one of my all-time favorite kitchen gadgets) and have been making smoothies almost everyday. Do you have any great recipes to share? (image from Martha Stewart)

Last night I watched The September Issue (from the list -- see previous post) and it was really well-done and interesting.

Very inspired by various types of African textiles and designs-- crossing my finger my dad will be able to bring me some back when he goes to Africa next week, yay! (image from here)

Sponsor Highlight : Alice Lane Home

One of my sponsors Alice Lane Home, a furnishings boutique store started a blog and it is wonderful. Below are a few of my favorite photos from their new online space.

These craftily handmade Pajama Monsters are very adorable. I got to see lil' Stinky in person, and he is even more charming in real life! The monster called, 'Nipper' is pretty darn cute too. Find other varieties of Pajama Monsters here.

(Thanks Megan)

What is in your Queue?

I enjoyed the post that Kevin Sharkey over at Martha Stewart Home Design did about his Netflix Movie Queue, and how many of the movies on his list showcase high levels of style and design. Check out his list and post, it is really great.

I am curious readers, what is in your queue/list to see next? What do you look for in a film? Do you watch things to inspire, educate or entertain? What are your top five or ten? I would love to hear your suggestions and recommendations.

Here are the top ten in my queue. Have you seen any of them, what are your thoughts?
