Loving these quaint little illustrations by Becca Stadtlander. Most of her work is available (and affordable) in her etsy shop, and you can keep up to date with her new works or find out more about what inspires her on her blog.

Nickey + Kehoe

I may be late discovering Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe's portfolio (and shop!), but I love their work so much I decided it might be worth sharing anyway. Then, when I started saving these photos to my inspiration folder and noticed the files were named 'ruffalo', I did some fact-checking and realized my initial suspicions were correct: this is Mark Ruffalo's pretty much perfect Hollywood Hills home. I love how cozy and down to earth it is. He must be one cool cat. Or maybe Nickey and Kehoe are just that good? (probably a little bit of both.) Glancing through their portfolio it's obvious they're awesome at creating warm and inviting spaces no matter what style their clients prefer - a clear sign of true talent. Check out the rest of their work here and take a peek inside their shop.

Trend Spotting
A few looks to love this season...
1. Ladylike bags - much more sophisticated than your average hobo. This one is J.Crew's Edie Purse $238. Other nice options include the Madewell Lil Briefcase Bag $118, Veda's Muffin Purse $336, and the TopShop Bluebell Snake Twist Lockbag $50
2. Bold Chokers - preferably in gold or silver are guarenteed to make your t shirt and jeans look more like an ensemble. Affordable options include the R.J. Graziano Silver Collar Necklace $55 and the TopShop flat metal collar $28. I also love this style.
3. Colorful Separates - The new way to colorblock allows for mixing and matching. For trousers, try Jenni Kayne's wide leg version (here or here), for denim J.Crew's toothpick jean is the way to go, check here for cord options, and here for bags. More on shoes later...
4. Hair Accessories - The fashion industry hasn't payed much attention to hair accessories since the rise and fall of the scrunchie, but I'm sensing a comeback at the grassroots level (*not of scrunchies but of hair accessories in general). Whether you use ribbons or metal, there's no better way to distract from your bad hair day. Visit your local Michael's.
