Nothing like a bit of Tom Foolery to compliment all that foolin' around everybody does on Valentine's Day - and these cards hit just the right note. Old Tom Foolery's cheeky love notes are right up my alley as I have made the hubby very well aware that anything overly mushy/lovey makes me want to gag. Not that I don't appreciate a sentimental...

For the quirky gal or guy in your life, this poster of a heart by Ork is a fun Valentine's Day gift! I like the simple black and tan version best....you could easily spiff it up with a gallery-style red frame, or spray paint a flea market frame in your special someone's fave color for a cheaper alternative! For the quirky gal or...

{Images Via Style.com} The Spring 2011 J.Crew collection was recently released, and yet again I am giving props to one of my most fave brands. The clothes are all so pretty and colorful...as far as I am concerned, Jenna Lyons can do no wrong. I especially love the denim shirt and knee-length skirt look with the scarf/belt combo (row 4, last pic). Such fab...

The Coveted provides a very inspiring peek into the closets of some of the industry's finest fashion editors, and I am swooning!!! I think Mary Kate Steinmiller (of Teen Vogue) is my fave of the bunch...I love all the bright colors, punchy patterns and sparkles.

{Image Via Priscila Peters} This just proves nothing is as chic and simple as a good pair of jeans, a hot pair of boots, the perfect white tee, and basic accessories.

{Image via Ferm Living} "Ferm Living, I'm gonna get you and your pretty little pillows too!" shouted Kir, the greedy gal from the East. Yep, it's true...I pretty much want everything in this photo. The cool geometric wallpaper and pillows, the chunky knit pillows, the "beach ball" poofs, cool vintagey bird cages, a wood sawhorse leg table. Navy blue, yellow, grey, black....looks like...

These friendship bracelets from Freida & Nellie are so much fun....they remind me of my days at Clearwater Camp as a kiddo, and how I would accumulate a HUGE collection of these woven bangles on my wrists and ankles by the end of summer. Except mine weren't bedazzled...such a bummer. These are a great combo of a few of my fave things -...

My New Year's resolution was to get fit and toned in 2011. I adopted some lazy eating habits in college, and have yet to grow out of them. Sadly, my metabolism is slowing as I get older and it definitely showing in all the WRONG places (I can give Kim Kardashian a run for her money in the booty department....wahhhh). I decided not...

I am currently coveting the entire women's collection (and part of the men's too!) from Amsterdam-based Scotch & Soda...perfectly casual, and a bit rumpled yet refined. I am seriously craving that gorgeous striped wool coat, and the fantastic pointy-pocketed blazer.

{Image via Papersheep} Well, we are now back in the Northeast and I am snuggling up in the thickest sweaters I own (which aren't all that thick, actually....hallelujah for layers). I have been on the prowl for a good (and affordable) chunky knit cardi or sweater to cozy up in, and these little letterpressed note cards with a knit pattern fit the bill...

Speaking of Venice Beach, I just died a little over these pics....I so badly wish I could live in these photos by Alexandra Valenti and just soak in the sunlight and baste in the awesomeness. I am almost positive her camera is actually a time machine....she really captures the free spirited vibe and fantastic style embodied by the 60s & 70s rock n'...
