Yesterday feels like Monday! (Mondays = paper jams and cranky people). Where did this week go?

During more of my research for the new art curriculum I noticed the Musee d’Orsay fashioned yellow & grey for their Museum History page! I was delighted as you could imagine.

I have decided that one of my newest dream jobs is to work in the creative department for kate spade. It wouldn’t really matter what I would work on because it all looks fantastic. I spent an hour reading through all their projects, events, and all the other goodies in Behind the Curtain. It lead [...]
I am very pleased that J.Crew has brought back this classic Elizabeth Halter! I saw this in the November 2007 J.Crew catalog {see left, thanks M.A. Belle!} that I still have in my pile of magazines and catalogs. Yes, I have wanted a shirt since last November. Can you believe how silly that is? I [...]
