current obsession: flatforms

My super fashionable friend Marian just purchased this pair of adorable flatforms and it got me thinking, "could I pull those off?" The answer of course is "who cares because they are so damn cute I'll probs buy them anyways!" Flash forward to the end of my work day which was spent primarily looking for the perfect pair to buy for myself. Check out my flatform finds below. Happy Tuesday! ♥,whit

current obsession: scalloped details

If you are an avid online shopper such as myself, it would be impossible for you to miss the scallop detailing trend that has been going on. And I don't know about you guys, but I'm into it. The simplistic look is somehow vintage-cute and completely modern at the same time. Take a look at some of my favorites below and let me know what you think! xoxo, whit.

current obsession:kurt vonnegut+random house book covers

I am definitely getting on the Kurt Vonnegut fan bus a little late in my life. I just started reading his books this year and found that I couldn't stop going back to Elliot Bay Books for more. I can't get enough. But I have a confession to make... I am totally judging his books by their covers. Yes yes, he is a brilliant writer and his books offer up so much to think about and reflect upon, so it goes and all that. The truth is I am in love with the new Vonnegut book covers Random House is redesigning. They had the brilliant idea to use his artwork on all of the new covers and they are so fun!

Is it bad that I want all of them, half because I want to read them and half because I want a pretty colorful bookshelf in my apartment? Here are some of my favorites, but you can see them all at randomhouse.com or better yet, pick some up at your favorite local bookstore!

current obsession: donna wilson's new winter catalog

(photos via donnawilson.com. )

I read about Donna Wilson last year and immediately added her to all my favorites lists, signed up to follow her blog Leaves and Twigs, bookmarked her online store and added her name to my Google Alerts. Her colorful, creative creatures are irresistibly cute. Everything from foxes, cats and peanuts. And I mean come on, Puddle Man? It's a man, with a puddle for a head... and I LOVE IT. She could invent a little poop creature and make it look adorable. The New York Times' T Magazine just did a great write up on Donna and she was just named Elle Decoration's 2010 British Designer of the Year!

Here are some new looks and two new creatures from her winter 2010/2011 catalog. I also picked out a few of my favorites, I love the Mog plate and Robin coushion! So cute! Oh my, I think I need to cut myself off now.
