Brothers and Sisters

When I got pregnant with the little one, I always thought he would be a GAP baby because I LOVE that store and that's where I shop myself and where the Professor buys most of his clothes (I should mention that I am the one who picks out the Professor's clothes :).  But since I moved to Spain, where, sadly, there is no GAP, I buy most of the little one's clothes from Zara baby (actually called Kiddy's Class in Spain). So imagine my surprise and delight when I visited the Zara website today and saw them feature the adorable and stylish children of some bloggers I follow! I love the effortless chic of these looks and am actually a little envious of how much more stylish these children are compared to myself!
Head on over to the Zara site if you'd like to see more.

Mrow!

How cute are these cat shirts? Is it wrong for me to want all three? You're right---two is enough :) And for the dog lover, I've got something for you too. What about you, dear readers?  Are you a cat-lover or dog-lover or that rare mix of both?

Crushing on: Indigo

It's no secret that blue is my favorite color. Indigo, Azure, Aegean, Navy. Whatever you call it, I love it. Fortunately for me, blue appears to be the "it" color for fall.  I'm seeing it all over the blogosphere in interiors and fashion. I've compiled a bunch of images of my favorite pieces for your viewing pleasure above. I made this inspirational pinboard using Polyvore. Ever heard of it? I'm not sure where the  name comes from but it sounds like an image-sharing dinosaur, right?  Polyvore is a handy little website that allows you to select things from all over the web and either use a ready made template created by other users or design your own. Pretty neat, eh?

Wishing you a blue Thursday!

Some mid-week inspiration

Saw this via the J.Crew blog (yep, J.Crew has its own blog. It's actually very inspiring for everything from fashion, art, beauty, and travel even if you don't actually shop there).  Not being the creative type myself, I always love hearing designers talk about what inspires them to create something beautiful. Imagine seeing a muted beige landscape and thinking of that beautiful dress in the fourth picture or reinterpreting a striped blouse and scarf you saw in a portrait for the modern day as in picture number five. Imagine seeing potential in everything you saw. Wouldn't it be great to see the world like that?
