ten images of inspiration : photo styling.












I still sort of get amazed that certain people get to style scenes for photographs. For a living. Sounds like a complete dream job. Really.

oh joy for chronicle books.



I was so happy to see these in person at New Seasons yesterday- Joy of Oh Joy! has just released a line of stationery through Chronicle Books, which is now available for purchase right here. I have always loved Joy's paper styling, plus she has an amazing eye for beautiful design, so I was not surprised by how gorgeous each product is. Truth be told, I am tempted to purchase at least one of everything.

ten images of inspiration : braided.












This has been a season of fairytale-esque folky braids and I have been completely loving it. They are just so romantic and feminine- I could happily wear a different one every day.
