Wanting

This Zaldig and Voltaire Miltary Style Jacket

A Morrocan wedding blanket

 

This French Toast Stamp

This Kstudio pillow

This dress

Only in my dreams… this sparkly jcrew top! (via OhJoy)

I guess I can make do with this sparkly henley (on sale!)

And of course...

The one that got away, my Mulberry for Target tote. Sigh.

This is a very, special edition of Love.Want.Need. I am ever so excited that Creature Comforts introduced me to Basic French, an online French lifestyle store.  You have NO idea. Putting aside all jealousy that they stole my idea of opening a store of all French goods (and thus requiring me to fly to France on a regular basis and deduct it as a business expense, winkwink), I can't help but forgive them. Because they carry...

PRINCE CHOCO!!!

Vanilla cookie chocolate filling sandwich deliciousness!  Mmm... 

Now if they would only carry Z'Animo, I'd be in heaven. :)

Mar y Sol “Guadeloupe” Tote in Sunflower

Etsy Find!

K, let's ignore the fact that is in fact another Love. Want. Need. post, and concentrate on how cute this quilt is:

Really now. How cute is this quilt?

While we agree with Esty maker The Bobbin's Nest that the Wee Three Birds Boy Quilt would be perfect for baby boy nursery (it is, after all "crib sized")... we happen to think it'd be cute in a guest room. Or any room, for that matter.

And at $185, it's actually a steal for a lovingly handcrafted quilt.

Get it before it's gone!

Everyone wants to have the cool kid at school (or playgroup, or family reunion...). Either you already have kid(s), or you're one of those people who don't have kids but think, "If I were a parent, I'd be awesome. My kid would awesome. He'd be like Maddox + Kingston TIMES INFINITY."

Even people who fall into the "there's a reason the animal kingdom eat their young" category has a godson/niece/bestfriendfromhighschoool's kid who is the "IhatekidsbutthiskidisTHEcoolestkidever" kid.

All those cool kids gotta look cool, so thank heavens for House of Mongrels. Organic, eco-friendly playclothes with vintage-esque graphics like rockets and robots.

And if there's anything cool, it's rockets and robots. And House of Mongrel has plenty of both. Check more out on their website, or at Urban Baby Runway.

Your kids can thank me later.

This "Dotty" pillow by Ferm Designs is calling to me. The yellow, the trees, the dots... it's the definition of "whimsy", no?

At just shy of $70, it's a bit steep for my budget (it is, after all, simply a small pillow), so I'm hunt for a fabric to equal it. So far by searches have turned up this and this. Any suggestions?

This Optic Sea Glass Table Lamp from Crate and Barrel is making long for the beach...

Love. Want. Need.Diane von Furstenburg "Paulita" ruffled mini-skirt. Ooh la la.

I heavily debated whether to post about this skirt. In general, I'm not a fan of the mini. I have neither the legs, nor the inclination, to show so much skin (see my Shabby Apple post). But it was too gorgeous not to share.

When I talk about fashion as art, this is what I'm talking about people.

Love. Want. Need.

The perfect bag.

Anthropologie "Malleable" Bag

Love. Want. Need.

If I ever have my own office/studio space, this table will reign supreme.



Coolest. Table. Ever. Can you imagine brainstorming around this? Oh the possibilities...

My husband would probably build it for me... if I ever let him buy 22, 742 legos.
