Lovely Things No. 4

A new edition of Lovely Things to start off the week! :)

There are some stores I visit where I just wish I could live there, and Anthropologie is without doubt one of them.  I particularly covet this fruit calendar, made by Rifle Paper Co:

If Anthropologie could be my home, then I'd like Madewell to be my closet.  Their pieces are clean and sophisticated, sweet and professional.  I've rifled through their fall catalogue dozens of times by now:

I have a love-fear relationship with the Game of Thrones HBO series.  Overall, I adore being transported to the world of Westeros, but I am constantly on the edge of my seat, fearing for my favorite characters' lives.  Anyways, Darrin Crescenzi recently remade the house sigils of the series, and I must admit, I think I prefer these minimalistic designs:

Falcon Wright specializes in screen printed leather goods, based in Toronto.  Their patterns, showcased in their Fall 2012 Lookbook, remind me of an understated Yayoi Kusama:

Poketo's Japanese copper graters are ever so charming, especially the turtle one:

Just because the summer season has just ended doesn't mean one should stop eating ( and making! ) summer salads. I'm looking forward to making this asparagus and deviled egg salad sometime soon~:

We all have style icons we look up to for inspiration, and one of mine is Miss Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper. Everything she wears is just ever so elegant and polished, like this nude cowl neck top outfit:

Food photography is burgeoning with talent these days, and Tomo Kohsaka is one of my favorite photographers.  Her pictures are brimming with warmth and simplicity that I hope to infuse in my meals from now on:

No matter how old I am, I believe I will always love graphic tops. But, my tastes have matured ( just a little bit ) from my Mickey and Minnie Mouse t-shirts to a more simple and clean graphic, like this Asos panda sweater:

Even though my tastes are maturing with my age, I will never turn my back on animated goodness that I have adored since I was a little girl of three. Thus, the youth in me was delighted to see this Cummulus & Nimbus video:

Wishing you a lovely week!
