The Photobooth

There are no words to describe the pure joy photobooths bring me {and no doubt many of you, as well!}  In true Amelie fashion, my up-for-anything boyfriend and I have vowed to always stop if we see one, no matter what! Photobooth by Babette Hines chronicles the cultural icon’s history, and even better, is packed with over 700 shots of spontaneous, romantic, evocative, and utterly gorgeous photos collected from friends and years of flea marketing.  You can also visit Hines’ Los Angeles gallery of collected photographs–what a treat!  For more info, check out thefoundphoto.

Chanel Spring 2010 Couture

Karl called the heart-shaped hair coiffures “neon baroque”….Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette has been influential way beyond it’s time, don’t you think?

Liebemarlene Vintage

Wow, I am just kind of in awe of vintage dealer Rhiannon Liefhert, her website, and the atmospheric shots she posts of herself in her wares {taken all across the country}.  Some of my favorite shots…

Cheese Table

I love this beautiful display of cheese, bread, fruit, and honey that Sunday Suppers created for Darcy Miller’s The Bride’s Guide! This might be my perfect dinner…with a little chocolate, of course.

Plucky Pioneers

Love The Neo Trad’s Plucky Pioneers series- “interviews with girls on the design frontier”.  Check out The Neo Trad’s {a.k.a. Kate} 2nd profile which just went up today- it’s one of our stellar clients!

My Little Green Notebook

Have you checked out this blog yet? It’s another one of my favorite daily reads that Catherine introduced me to. My Little Green Notebook is filled with genius DIY projects and home decor inspiration, like this silver leaf dresser-which apparently is a cinch to re-create!

Dace’s spring 2010 campaign

After learning about this line through the lovely Apartment #34, I immediately clicked to shop and stumbled upon their dreamy spring 2010 campaign video (which I’ve played several times!). Loving the modern Bardot model and the glimpses that we get of her Parisian escapades.

Petits Sucres

My friend Dani just got back from Paris and brought me some of the chic little sugar cubes she spoke of in this post…aren’t they the cutest?  A cup of tea is just that much more charming with a heart shaped sugar cube.

I don’t think you can buy them here in the states…or has anyone found them anywhere here?
