Blake-o

I don’t think any of us were in doubt that eventually the day would come when Blake would move away. You’re in a long distance relationship, you decide to look for jobs and eventually the right one comes along. And although Blake and I have always had a very surprising, non-traditional relationship (he’s my high school ex-boyfriend), I feel like I’m losing a brother. To Texas of all places. I won’t say I wasn’t a little worried at first. What will slender, geeky, politically progressive, non-hyper-masculine Blake do in a place like Texas!? He’ll stick out like a sore thumb! So Neil and I did some thinking…

…and really, what better way to camouflage Blake than with a huge shiny new pair of truck nuts! If you can believe it, this classy accessory was on our Jeep Jeep when we bought it. We knew immediately that when Blake’s day of Missouri-departure finally arrived, that they would find their new home, zip-tied to his bumper. Best of luck Blake!

This is seriously the coolest toast I’ve ever seen. It’s not exactly a new concept either. A google search will net you hundreds of images of beautiful antique toasters.

Neil and I make it a priority to shop local business when and where we can. Lizzy & Rocco’s is our favorite. Look at this cute harness we picked up for Clive last week! He gets so excited and happy to be outside that he’s all torque. They had lots of options, but I fell in love with the green cow harness the moment I saw it. I think Neil was worried his little man would look less tough, but cows are masculine right? We’ll definitely be scoping out their sweater selection come fall.

Check out their website and follow them on Twitter!

I Like, But I Might Need…

April 30, 2010

After being spoiled for weeks with near-summer temperatures, the past week has been absolutely dreadful. It feels like winter has returned. I’ve pulled the blankets back out of the closets, but have so far resisted the urge to pull out the slippers I tucked away a few weeks ago. Our neighborhood is a marsh, with [...]

Polaroid Scarves

I’ve never really ventured into scarves other than the fuzzy ones I wear in the winter. But I adore these by Phillipe Roucou, too bad the price is :drumroll: $450 {images via Reborn, found via Seesaw}
