Umbra Tubby Organizer.

I'll say it for the record, I'm not a lover of lucite and acrylic. I've tried and tried, but I just can't seem to embrace it. Then I saw this little tubby organizer from Umbra and had the teeny, tiniest change of heart. Kitchen. Office. Yes, please.

Paperleaf Eyelashes.

Inspired by the Chinese art of paper-cutting, Paperleaf's fashion eyelashes are a detailed statement of delicate. Although I'm quite sure my eyes would start watering the moment they were adhered to my eyelids. Yes, I'm a baby.

Bin.

Bin is two parts: cylinder and lid. No mechanisms or levers. Nothing besides the genius of Shigeichiro Takeuchi. {via swissmiss}

Molecovers.

If you're like me, your Moleskine notebooks go through a lot. They get stained, bent up and otherwise disfigured. Enter the Molecover. Use it again and again for your notebook protection needs while retaining its original integrity. {via Design Milk}

Architectural Mailboxes.

Architectural Mailboxes has a great line of highly attractive, well, mailboxes. Everything from the more ornate end of the spectrum to clean and modern lines. Some models even accommodate multiple-residence homes and apartments. Any one of them would be way better than the plain white my house is rockin' at the moment. {via core77}

Yellowfield7 Hats.

I'm all about bringing retro pieces back into the swing of things. Like these gorgeous hand-draped cloche hats inspired by early 20th Century American fashion (AKA the 1920s) by Behida Dolić. The navy with the feather? To die for. {via Something Old, Something New}

I apologize for the lighter than usual posting so far this week. I've got several projects in the mix and seem to have bit off a bit more than I can chew. Things should be back to normally sooner than later!

Blog It Forward: Inspiration.

I'm so excited that my day has finally arrived for the Blog It Forward mashup! Victoria put so much work into organizing everything and making it all just so that I hope you're following along. In case you missed it, here's the full schedule of posts and blog links. I did a little of this and a little of that and before I knew it I had an entire alphabet's worth of photography before my eyes that had me ooh-ing and aah-ing. So without further ado and any attempt at witty banter, here's my photographic index of inspiration.
