Madam Geneva’s Jam Cocktail


PHOTO: yumsugar

This cocktail is brilliant on about ten different levels. Madam Geneva’s Jam Cocktail – from the Manhattan gin bar Madam Geneva – requires only five simple ingredients that you’re likely to have around your house already: gin or vodka, lemon jiuce, simple syrup, jam, and crushed ice. Seems life-changing to me.

A Print Handbook For Designers

 

 

 

Being a designer is one thing, taking what you’ve created on screen and successfully translating it to print is another. There are so many rules and regulations (and opinions) that it can sometimes be overwhelming to remember it all. I love that A Print Handbook For Designers puts all of these little bits and pieces in one place, in fact I think it’s the best reference source of this type that I’ve seen in nine years of designing. It only costs about $10 which includes delivery, so if you’re a designer you really have no excuse left to not have your production spot on every single time. (via notcot)

Boxsal Picnic Trio Collection

Today is definitely not the day for a picnic (thunderstorms and tornadoes, anyone?), but I’d love it if a boy showed up at my doorstep on a sunny 75 º day for a surprise outing and one of these in hand. Major points.

Crystal Bullet Necklace

Crystal Bullet Necklaces from Unearthen. They ride the line between masculine and feminine perfectly, and I love the manmade vs. natural aspect as well. Supposedly you’ll be drawn to the one you’re meant to connect with.

I can eat decently enough with chopsticks, at least well enough to compete with any other middle-class 31 year old female. But these make me want to toss out everything in my silverware drawer and become exclusively devoted. (via Bonnie Tsang)

Archival Clothing

 

 

 

Archival Clothing is the perfect example of the sort of style I prefer in everyday life – clean lines, subdued palette, classic feel. I honestly couldn’t find even on thing in their shop that I wouldn’t love to call my own. My bed is crying out for one of their MacAusland’s wool blankets and my shoulder would love a plain musette.
